just based off how baseball works, I don't think a lottery is all that much of a disincentive. There's not THAT much of a value difference between 1 and 7

Idk why anyone's shocked there was disagreement within the union and is mad about it. That's all natural.

All those guys listed I think

Kind of impossible though, the board is always going to end up being long-tenured, well respected guys who are typically paid well

Seems like they could just drop it and follow up with another suit no?

I've entered the "Here's how Bernie can still win" stage

I meant more the on behalf of the people losing wages. Speaking of, what does like Delaware North think of all this.

The states where taxpayers own the stadium should be filing suit honestly

I saw someone saying Scherzer should have to pay the stadium workers for lost time with his 40 million dollar contract. And my only thought was "How are you so close to getting it, and still this far off" Would be a cool move though I guess.

Very cool that my escape of choice is suffering from identical institutional rot has everything else.

High end prospects don't care and roster chaff have no power.

At this point it's more about the real estate and broadcasting opportunities that come along with owning a team than the actual sporting side of it.

Yeah, if we were talking about vendors and event staff I'd be singing a different tune. The only thing that has me in the players corner at all is athletics and entertainment are pretty much the only way to claw yourself out of abject poverty.

This is where I'm at. I'm going to side with labor on principle, but this is a fight that is so inconsequential to labor issues that actually, y'know, matter and affect people that are legitimately disadvantaged so it's more of a just figure it out thing for me.

I was about to say I think his bat might be better until I realized I totally forgot Andruw Jones hit 400 home runs

Like half the owners are completely uninterested in baseball and are more concerned about the real estate venture their teams represent. What I’m getting at is Manfred is bad for baseball because the people who hired him don’t give a shit about it.

There seems to be a pretty popular opinion that Rob manfred is terrible at his job. his job is to be a lightning rod for the owners. He’s incredibly good at it.

Strikes and Lockouts are both different kinds of work stoppages though. Double edit: there seem to be competeing definitions. So idk whatever

I went to the only home NCAA Tournament game in it's history, at one of the livelier buildings in the sport where the home team won on a buzzer beater. That crowd paled in comparison to Game 3.

Engel, Leury or Vaughn against Pressley in the 9th

Correa and Altuve are going to give an aneurysm

Meh, Id rather use Sheets in a better spot than 1 out nobody on in the 6th

Theres one out

mentioned this before but I think he was trying to say he wants to be able to grow Yoan Moncada's but my immediate reaction was 'oh no'
