Kolek planning to go pro
Somebody told me MLB is going to do double headers to get all 162 games in without extending the season. With universal DH now, are they expanding the active roster so you can both cover your DH and have extra pitchers on your roster for the more games in a condensed period of time?
I think each team has 5 or 6 games to make up. Regular season was extended 3 days, the other make up games will be part of double headers.
There’s been discussions about going to 28 this season.
Read today that Ken Griffey Jr. is the 6th highest paid player on the Reds this season, despite retiring in 2010.
Real doubleheaders or those greedy day/night doubleheader? I'm nostalgic for those twilight Friday night doubleheaders and the Sunday afternoon doubleheaders.
We'll probably see some of each. Either way, all doubleheader games are back to nine innings!
The 2032 Green Bay Packers have entered the chat.
Its pretty disheartening to see Oakland tear a team down to the studs that won 86, 97 (prorated), and 96 games the last three years and that ZiPS had in the low to mid 80s in February.
The owner can make waaaay more money by losing. As a fan, you are inconsequential to the equation. The richest owners shove cash into the pockets of the ‘hustler’ owners.
I think the most disheartening part about it is that the ink isn't even dry on the new CBA.As a fan, I wish the MLBPA would give up fighting a salary cap, and instead shift into a mode of leveraging its willingness to institute a hard cap to get as big a piece of the pie under that structure as they can. This no cap, no salary floor thing is getting tiresome.
A salary floor is preferable.
Not for the small market fans. Although a floor is fine, a floor with no cap still allows the large markets to dominate year after year.
That Kris Bryant/Colorado marriage won’t end well.
Didn’t they trade a better 3B (Arenado) to dump a similar contract? Weird.
My God, the Dodgers will be a problem.
Bellinger won the MVP 3 years ago and he's projected to be the 6th/7th best hitter in their lineup. Yikes.Their division won't be as tough this year, but baseball is great because anything can happen.
