Harold's Leg Lift

If both were there they were taking Crochet over Detmers.

That is a really interesting picture. He's on-line and not across his body.

They're going to have to jump thru all kinds of hoops for 8,000 fans a game. I'm not sure it's going to be worth it.

Robert Vaughn Crochet Stiever Kelley Madrigal Dunning Dahlquist Thompson Adolfo Kopech and Collins are big leaguers.

Now Heyman is reporting the owners will be making a couple changes to their "proposal" that he was trying to push as an agreement just two days ago. He's a f*cking joke.

I think you missed a line there.

This is going to be another really good HS class.

He started out at Heartland CC, transferred to St John's for a year then played this spring at Robert Morris.

You're going to love this next one.

I was told there are issues with the field at North Central.

The threat came first. The owners used the pandemic as cover to shove it thru.

No there's not going to be a minor league season. There will be an extended fall league in AZ/FLA. The Sox taxi squad will be playing out of the stadium in Rosemont. I'm really interested to see how that is going to work.

Teams rebuild to take advantages in the draft with higher picks and larger pools of money to spend both in the draft and internatioanlly. Take that away and there is no incentive to rebuild.

It would be incentivizing winning instead of losing.

Yeah but who will ask it?

Mike Trout is the hero we needed.

There will be a season but first the owners have a few more dirty tricks up their sleeve to try and make their bad deal less bad. The fans are the ones paying the price.

Huh. Certain owners don't want to play. I'm shocked.

In 2018 the Braves reported total revenue of $442M and in 2019 they reported total revenue of $476M. Baseball owners think everyone is really stupid.

"I can turn a $4M profit into a $2M loss and get every national accounting firm to agree with me." -Paul Beeston President Toronto Blue Jays

In 2018, the Braves reported an operating profit before depreciation and amortization of $94M. Last year, it was $54M--though after depreciation and amortization, plus stock compensation, the team showed a paper loss of $32M.

A very small percentage who again are not part of the union. Protecting contracts will protect the amateurs who actually make it to the big leagues.

They're protecting future MLB players. Amateur players are not part of the union. It sucks but it is what it is.

Once that door is open the owners will try to renegotiate any contract they're not happy with. When the players say they are protecting future players this is what they're referring to. They're protecting player contracts.
