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'

It was a half baked shitty hot take. No one was offended

I think what he was trying to say was give me a field where I could grow Moncada's but the execution was uhhhhhhhh not good

I'm sending him out there with a 1 batter leash

The guy has missed 50 games in 5 years. This he's soft thing is such meathead bullshit

Bob Costas, you probably don't know his work

I did not know this curve was such a hammer

There was an Athletic article the other day one "Why your team might win and why they might lose" and the Sox might lose because they won the division in June and have been on cruise control. I like those odds

The Sox are always late movers on this stuff

Rosters out, no Dallas

Just watched Desastre Personal. Sox in 3

Mendicks odds of getting in the game are probably about the same as anyone left off and in any case it would be bad news for the Sox

The only thing that surprises me is Mendick
