WBWSF Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 I read where the TV money starts to kick in for the owners after the 28th game. If that's true it would appear that baseball won't start until the first week of May. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, at least the few large IBEW and CWA locals I've been tangentially related to. Simple negotiations as in any other business. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogan873 Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 There is absolutely no reason for them to not be talking daily. If they're not, it's clear that neither side is in a hurry...obviously for different reasons. The players will wait out the owners, hoping for a move in their direction. The owners have already said they're cool with cancelling a month of games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The players have stated they have attempted to negotiate and meet since the lockout started but the owners have not wanted to. Hard to blame the players in that situation; takes two to meet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a lot of money at stake. Which is why they should have started a year ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And honestly my interest is typically June to August most seasons. Which is why I'm good with a 150 game season and an extra round of playoffs. I'll tune in to a playoff game between two clubs I don't really care about than watching the Sox after they are eliminated or clinched.

I've been known to watch and be upset about a Sox game in the last week of the season when they were eliminated 2 weeks prior....."OH COME ON, THROW STRIKES!!" It's a sickness. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't look away at the beginning of the season. So damn excited to watch baseball again. Then again, I probably watch 155+ Sox games a year, so month doesn't matter much. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless I'm out on a patio somewhere at a bar or in a friend's garage watching it on a TV. For me personally, it is way easier to watch during the week.
