Oso planning to go pro
And I believe I quoted Tony Clark, the head of the MLBPA, not the owners. Does he speak for the union in your opinon?Both sides are full of crap. That was my point, and has been, I'm not surprised that is lost on you.
Everyone gets it. The owners are crapbags. No one has once said otherwise.
Not that it'll do anything, but here is a petition to remove Rob Manfred. https://t.co/g1O5vNRvGT
Yeah, you're totally right. I'm totally in with the owners.If anything, it seems like you bought the players propaganda.I'd say you're better than that, but you're not. You were ignorant and wrong now you're throwing a tantrum.
Lol. I guess when you%u2019re caught being dumb you%u2019ll just insult instead.
I know they shouldn't be so easily swayed by propaganda. But...you be you...<pats buck on the head>Now run off and play nicely.
Nevermind. You're not worth it.
Our governor in Florida was talking about baseball with fans in late June.With fans.Makes sense to me given what's transgressed in Florida.
I think circumstances around this entire equation have changed due to circumstances outside of the control of either the players and owners, and also largely due to the owners actions themselves.Sorry you can't see that.
Hmmm, not answering direct questions, defending a ridiculous position, and now, is that goal post shifting? Is that the Chico trifecta?And anyways, nothing about their not accepting the deal MLB proposed has anything to do with Covid. If that's what you mean. This arrangement is still contingent on safety measures and was only a framework on the financial detailsIt comes down to both sides wanting more money. The players want to play more games and possibly wanting to be able to file a grievance. For the owners they want to play as few games as possible and more playoff games. They players didn't think the owners would go for full pro rated salaries, so they tried to make some BS moral point. The owners gave them what they wanted, or at least the demands to which they paid lip service. They got called on it and immediately back tracked. Both sides are being greedy and trying to not only win this particular deal, but also to give themselves better footing for the next CBA.
I haven't shifted the goalposts one bit. You can't see how the circumstances have changed. I can't make you see what you don't want to see.

Good to see that Sultan and Chuckler have continued their argument into another day. Fascinating stuff, children.
You're right. Sorry. I'm done.
If you thought Counsell was a mad scientist before...
Part of me is very excited to see the randomness of a 60 game season. If a team (say the Marlins) gets on a run early and goes 7-3 in their first ten games, they are in the hunt. Going 60 games, a team like the Cubs should go to a 4 man rotation. Over 60 games, a rotation of Darvish, Lester, Hendricks, Quintana could handle that workload. Why bother giving Chatwood potentially 12 starts? I think the AL Central/NL Central teams near the top have an advantage towards making the playoffs. If you look at Pecota projections, three of the projected worse six teams this upcoming season are Central based teams (Tigers/Royals/Pirates). Let's say the Brewers schedule starts them off with a home stand against the Tigers, followed by the Royals, and then they were to go to Pittsburgh. If their schedule worked out that way, that's 9 games out of the shoot that they would be favorites in. It'll be different for sure, hopefully Covid doesn't shut things down, but part of me is excited for sheer madness of this. It's Baseball 180, every game really matters, and we're going to experiment and see things we've never seen before.
Isn't it 60 games in 61 days? If it is, I would be surprised if any team really considered a 4 man rotation.
What are you losing with it though? Expanded rosters, your bullpen horses are going to go more innings and pitch more often than ever before. The Cubs to me are the perfect team to try it, they are a veteran team, their staff is all seasoned vets. Their window is coming up against contract commitments, you might as well go for it. If you try it for the first 16 games, and it's not working, or you're out of it, then scrap it. I think you're going to see way more experiments this year than ever before.
