We need a fans org to make the parties sit down and engage. Also a drama queen thread so everyone can announce they are no longer a fan.

  • Lets take a trip down memory lane shall we... Quite an odd revealing statement, said unprovoked.  Seems pretty anti player to me. Reason why he thinks the players should have caved in mi

  • Saying "I want the owners to get more money so they spend it on cool stuff for us" is the funniest most unrealistic expectation of this thread, thank you for that

Oh wow that’s brutal.  That should be an automatic testicle smash.  Either side uses that word, testicle smash live TV.  And maybe one of the vendors gets to do it since it’s his job that gets iced while both sides chortle about millions here and there.  

Need fans/truckers to blockade all the MLB owners’ homes, lol…only 25% serious.

It'd be nice if the players wanting to protect the integrity of the game meant demanding the owners cut, not add playoff teams and demand the DH to be kept out of the NL and getting rid of the man on second base rule in extra innings.

But I suspect the players are out for $$$ more than protecting any integrity.

What does having 2 sets of rules have to do with the integrity of the game? It should be the same in each league.

Especially when pitchers batting is the worst thing about baseball because of how horrendous they are.

That's not integrity issues, that's rules issues

Actually, it really makes no sense that MLB has different rules for Al and NL. Suppose in the NBA, the Western Conference had the player that is fouled take their own foul shots but in the Eastern Conference, teams would have a designated foul shooter for each team?

I agree it makes no sense and they should make it a uniform rule

Hahahahahahahahaha.  Sure dude.  If only there were someone in charge that could make that happen..

Hey moron, there is a really obvious solution here...  UNLOCK THE DAMNED DOORS!

 

Not as big of a deal in grand scheme of things, but last year was apparent the struggle to get game day staff especially when things started in June. Adding more uncertainty this offseason to an already extremely tight labor market makes me think (hopefully) April will be a pretty brutal gameday experience when they already shortstaff the stadium.
