I like the concept of playoff pool money, especially this year.

I mean, I guess they could go with a “lost tweets” segment. Get it out of the way early.

Just lay off the over the top tragedy porn that the NFL embraced this year.

MLB.com is doing a contest predicting leaders for the decade. Winner gets $1M Here are the leaders for the 2010s: 2010-19 • Homers: Nelson Cruz (346) • Hits: Robinson Canó (1,695) • Wins: Max Scherzer (161) • K's: Max Scherzer (2,452) • MVP Awards: Mike Trout (3) • Cy Young Awards: Clayton Kershaw and Max Scherzer (3) • All-Star selections: Clayton Kershaw, Yadier Molina and Mike Trout (8) • World Series titles: Giants (3) • Team wins: Yankees (921) Who do you predict for the 20s? I’ve submitted mine and will share later.

I spent my entire bonus on hookers and drugs. My coworkers just wasted theirs.

Maybe I’m overthinking it. I could be wrong. This exchange attempts to give a little backstory. https://mobile.twitter.com/NaturallyKatz/status/1269019787033808897

I would not be surprised if it wasn’t a person specifically looking at Akin’s internet history from four years ago, rather a program run by an entity that scrubs data on all of the blue checks. The discussion of who and why isn’t appropriate for OH. So I’ll leave it there. That’s where my money would be. If it is an individual targeting Akin specifically, then I’d love to know the back story.

If the season started on 7/3, that would mean 90 days to play 50 games if they go to the end of September. That would seem to favor teams with top heavy starting pitching and relief pitching. You could conceivably pitch your best reliever every game.

I don’t see why it wouldn’t draw similar TV numbers as last year’s World Series depending on who is playing. Sunday Night football already outperforms the WS head to head. Now, I do think interest in MLB could wane this season with the late start and no fan attendance, but I don’t think playing deeper into the calendar will have much of an effect.

Of course. As a fan, do you want to see more baseball or less baseball? The players plan gives then fans more baseball than the owners. Yet, as a whole, the public will side with the owners anyway.

I don’t see why the football conflicts would be greater in November than September and October. The players want more baseball this season than the owners.

What do the riots have to do with an agreement to play MLB baseball? Why put that in your post?

If Sal Fasano and Paul Bako had a love child raised by Lenny Webster, that’s Basallo’s ceiling.

My Dominican contact said this guy has a lot of Sal Fasano in his game.

Traveling secretaries will be confused when the Delaware Royals and BVI Marlins are on the same trip.

That is entirely horrific. I went to school with a guy who became a teacher. Then went to prison for taking advantage of a student. I can see the similarities in personalities.

Chad Curtis is who I was thinking of when I was looking up Chuck Knoblauch. Both scumbags.

Post career. Not too good. I do remember him hitting a bomb and taking a looongg trip around the bases. When questioned about it, he quipped “what the hell do you want me to do? Sprint?” Always found that comical.

Thanks for sharing. Eugene Freedman is a great lawyer name, btw.

I listened to Nick Sundberg on a podcast. He is the player rep for the Redskins. He shared a detail of the negotiations for the NFL. He said that the owners proposed that if a player tests positive for COVID-19 they would go on a non football related injury list for a minimum of 14 days. The problem is that, unlike injured reserve, the player doesn’t get paid when on the non football related injury list. I’m curious as to how the MLB proposal handles this.

The players, according to Clark, agreed to that back in March. The owners came back and said they wanted them to take less. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.cbssports.com/mlb/news/mlb-player-salary-an-increasing-concern-for-league-union-ahead-of-potential-2020-season-report-says/amp/

That’s what I thought. Yet, the players are framed as the greedy ones. Have GMs salaries been halved for this season?

Were the players vocal about not agreeing to the prorated salaries on games played when things were first delayed in March?. Or did they (led by the Tampa pitcher) start publicly complaining when the owners said they should get a prorated salary minus a share of lost revenue? I honestly don’t remember people complaining in March, but I admit I wasn’t paying too much attention to that.
