To me it is simple, you want to work someplace you follow their rules.

If you have a problem with them being involved in gambling and you not being able to then don't work for them.

No its not that simple because MLB has a government sponsored monopoly. You can't seek meaningful employment outside of MLB in baseball.

Look how Kevin Millar was treated by MLBPA.

I'm fairly optimistic based on what I've seen, but his K numbers are pretty scary.

I know velocity isn't everything but he is our best in house depth in 2016.

I wonder when they pull the plug on Wright and start working on him being a reliever.

Last year I worked with a guy from Columbus and even he said he gets tired of all the Ohio State hype and he is a fan. Maryland can't even beat Bowling Green.

Northeast college teams(cities) have crap teams. Ohio has two crap NFL teams and a powerhouse college team. Hence the hype.

You can't make a living far above that of the average American playing the the NPB or KBO?

Pretty sure you can.

I am not sure what relevance there is to how the UNION treated a player?

    • Mayo coming back from injury could have his debut in Baltimore delayed. 
    • Wasn't a huge fan of his swing for that last out today but coming in to pinch hit with 2 outs isn't easy.
    • Interpreting Malike's comment that way is theoretically possible, but I didn't take it that way--didn't feel that shade was being thrown on me at all. But thanks for the concern.
    • People are being a bit ridiculous with the holier than thou takes criticizing a little humor. I am not saying what happened couldn’t cause a significant concussion, but it would be a bit of a fluke if it did. Mullins barely hit him with the bat and he had a helmet on. The fact that it was in the back of the head did make him more vulnerable, but this wasn’t the type of thing you see and think he was lucky to be alive.  Guys have probably hit their heads harder on the top of the dugout or on the fence making catches.  And note this comes from someone whose son has suffered severe concussions and who is well aware of the dangers associated with them. In short, people need to lighten up a bit on guys like Roy.  It was a little gallows humor. 
    • Yeah, you read that wrong. LA2 is one of my favorite posters here and he knows it. No harm, no foul. If you aren't familiar with the game threads, it doesn't matter what the team is doing, people complain about it and people did make that same joke in the game thread long before Roy said it here. Game thread in summary - when the O's are not doing well, it's insufferable, when they are doing well, it's mildly less insufferable. There, that wasn't hard. I'd appreciate it if you didn't assume I'm throwing shade at people. I'll leave that up to you to do, you're really good at it.
    • Comp a. Like Gunnar, and beavers…
    • Wasn't Westburg a 2nd round draft pick?  It's a little early to judge last year's draft.
