    The NFL should be their model, and I might say that about every industry. Every time the owners make money, the players make money. Every time the owners think of a way to enhance revenue, the union say 'sure, but here's what we need in return'. I would add to the minimum salary, and add a lot of service time additions for the AAAA players bouncing up and down. You add me for a day, you owe me a week's service time. You add me for a week, you owe for a month. If you add me for more than 81 games, you owe me a full year's salary and service time. I don't particularly care how they chop up my BB allowance, but these 30 year old journeymen add a lot to the league and get a fraction of the gravy.

    Just a couple of random thoughts: If they go to a floor, they might to 100% broadcast sharing. It'll give poorer teams enough for a floor and incentivize to develop a better fanbase. I assume teams will be grandfathered in, maybe even over the 5-year CBA period. I also assume the players will reject a cap, no matter how lucrative.

    I'm not being sympathetic to a big-market team like TO, but their schedule includes divisional rivals that are 56 games over .500. And Houston has divisional rivals 77 games under .500.
  4. JoeBrady
    They should change the rules so the best record get home field.

    I'm wondering if this lead is driving the decision to IL so many players. This beckons the Tito days (the guy Fred referred to as 'Fran-coma'). Dangerous game to play, but the added rest could pay off big.

    You don't have a number for next year, so I can comment on that. But the number would have to be pretty high in order for him to accept a one-year guarantee. I can't believe that someone won't offer him 2+. But good side is that all of the people that didn't want us to sign him, or that considered him a #3, will now blame Breslow if he doesn't extend him for ace money.
  7. JoeBrady
    Why in the world would Gray accept an extension now, instead of waiting another 4 weeks for free agency?
  8. JoeBrady
    Fred prefers losing to winning, so he'd be fine.
  9. JoeBrady
    No one is wrong more often than Fred. I mean, we have 8 billion people in the world, and I don't know a single person wrong more often then Fred. Granted, I haven't met all 8B,but I think it's a reasonable assumption.

    4 hours ago, FredLynn said: IKF up Next inning please And IKF goes 1-3, plus a walk, a double, and 2 RBIs. Fred makes up for being wrong by being wrong at the wrong time.

    Have any managers hired during the season been given a long-term contract? Donnie Baseball is 70-43 and hasn't gotten an extension.

    Baz was a pleasure to watch. It was easy, since we won, but even had we lost, I'd have tipped my cap to him. Some of the pitches were just laughable watching the RS try to hit them.
  13. JoeBrady
    The O's have some decent numbers against Gray. Gunnar, Robert & Alonso are 10-29 with 4 HRs. If Alonso goes deep, the forecast is for a saturation of Fred.
  14. JoeBrady
    He challenged it because he missed challenging a clear ball in an earlier AB.
  15. JoeBrady
    Some people get diarrhea from eating too much crow.
  16. JoeBrady
    I'm not sure what others are looking at, but some of those pitches were filthy.
  17. JoeBrady
    Or he was told not to challenge. That pitch was the difference on that AB.
  18. JoeBrady
    I'm sure this has happened before, but the Great Gaspar has had a historic run for a someone almost 31, and a 27th round pick. I'd have likely given up a long time ago.
  19. JoeBrady
    And even at that, BPs are a bit of a crap shoot. Coming into this season, I thought Chapman and Whitlock would be very good, Slaten, maybe Weissert would be okay+, and the rest meh. And most of us hoped to add a decent+ RP. And here we are; 2nd in ERA and 1st in OPS. Who'd have thought?
  20. JoeBrady
    I'd be shocked if we sat Mead. Had he duplicated his Nationals numbers, he'd be leading the team in HRs.
  21. JoeBrady
    While acknowledging that the LOA says 1-2 players will go sideways, we also have a ton of payroll flexibility. In 2028, our payroll is only $118M plus arbitration. That's a lot of room to sign an ace, a closer, and maybe re-up Rut.
  22. JoeBrady
    I'm thinking the same thing. One of Suarez' strengths is his playoff results. I'd like to see him treat this as a playoff game. I don't get too worked up over short-term results, but with only 4-5 GS remaining for him, I'd feel more comfortable if he occasionally flashes his A game.
  23. JoeBrady
    In trades involving prospects, if the prospects pan out, the acquiring team will almost always win. If Eyanson develops into a #3, he will like accrue 15 WAR in his 6+ years of control. Had Verdugo maintained his LA stats from 2019, we'd have won that trade. And the teams acquiring prospects usually come out ahead in most cases. It's an overpay for current help in exchange for future help.
  24. JoeBrady
    IMO, the fracture heals, or it doesn't. He probably needs some minor ABs (will they still be playing?), but I'd have no problem with his track record.

    Ever watch Goodfellas? "Right after I got here, I ordered some spaghetti with marinara sauce and I got egg noodles and ketchup."
