Oso planning to go pro
Is being 27 an excuse for being inarticulate? Seems pretty old for that.
“At the end of the day?” LOL.I’ve read what Snell said about “the ‘rona” and “gettin’ his”.Westwood’s remarks were well reasoned, mature and thoughtful. Snell’s were self centered and childish. Not the same at the end of any day.
Let me guess. When the leader of our country comes out and says stupid garbage you're someone who says, "Don't worry about what he's saying. He doesn't mean it literally."
Wrong guess. When he says stupid garbage (which is pretty frequently) I call him out for saying stupid garbage. And when he says things sarcastically I take them as such. It’s easy if you have an open mind and an ability to discern.I don’t even have to guess about you. The way you frame your post it’s clear you take everything he says literally. That’s unfortunate, but not surprising. Blind hatred eliminates any possibility for good judgement.
Let me guess. Him taking hydroxychloriquine is sarcasm? Miracle disappearance of a deadly virus is sarcasm? 0 cases by April is sarcasm? Country opened up by Easter is sarcasm? All of this followed by him calling this a pandemic before it was labeled a pandemic...sarcasm too? Everyone who wants a test can have a test...sarcasm?
If I’m a player I’m voting a hard no on this. https://twitter.com/danwolken/status/1265444554200809479?s=21If I’m a star player and this passes, I’m not playing.
The upcoming MLB draft has real potential to be a complete $hitshow. If you’re on the fence if whether or not the team you root for is in financial trouble, just watch what they do at the draft. I firmly believe there will be multiple teams that have no intention of signing their picks. And this is only a five round draft.
I don't really weep for owners who have no problem pocketing all of the upside benefits of being an owner, but then are asking their employees to participate in the downside. They may just have to operate <gasp> at a loss!!! Or, in exchange for players taking a cut this season, pay them back their pro-rata share over the next five seasons - with interest.
If there's going to be a 2020 season, the owners are probably going to have to operate at a loss for this season and the players are probably going to have to agree to play for *gasp* less than half of their normal salaries. There's a lot of posturing going on right now, but I suspect they'll get it hammered out within the next week or so. There's too much money at stake. Everybody's going to "lose money", but why would a guy like Trout not play for an amount like $7 million? Would he rather sit home and get nothing? I wouldn't.
Owners refused to share a percentage of their massive profits over the last 20 years. Now they face one year of losing money and expect players to share the burden
In a world where people making 80k have had salaries cut by as much as 30%, it's pretty hard to have my heart bleed for a millionaire playing baseball.
And the billionaire owners trying to cut salaries further for more profit?
