If it is going to be 14 teams every division winner would/should get a bye

That would mean no TV show where teams pick opponents and fewer playoff games, so that won’t happen. I will say…if they sell their soul and go to 14, I will watch less regular season baseball, and won’t watch the postseason until LCS if I feel the teams that are in, deserve to be there…meaning good regular season win totals. They add inventory, I’ll watch less. Period.

I "watch" most games during the regular season. I usually am not fully invested. I like day games when I'm home. Turn it on take a nap

Yeah...it's kind of like a babysitter for some of us.  Some nap time can frequently happen.

I'm a little surprised that items like larger bases and robo ump is in the CBA. It doesn't directly relate to compensation. I guess working conditions. 

I'm intrigued with the one up for division winners. Actually I would have rejected it as crazy if MLB proposed it, but since it's the players, I'm interested.

Maybe you're the one who is crazy.

It’s almost too bad there’s so much press coverage around the lockout.  After every session we’re hearing each side say how disappointed they are with the other side, and that negotiations are going no where.  Lock yourselves in a room, figure it out, and stop whining to the press.  Cone back to us when there’s a deal.

If > 8 owners don't want to play in April, which I think is a pretty plausible theory, then it isn't possible for both sides to get in a room and agree on *any* deal right now.
