March 1, 20188 yr The Pirates with an excellent "shove-up-your-ass" statement in response to the grievance... A statement issued Tuesday by Pirates president Frank Coonelly: "The MLBPA's grievance against the Pirates is patently baseless. We look forward to demonstrating as much to the Arbitrator if the MLBPA continues to pursue this meritless claim. As indicated when the MLBPA first expressed its "concern" in a press release, the Pirates have always invested its revenue sharing receipts in a manner entirely consistent with the Basic Agreement. As previously indicated, our revenue sharing receipts have decreased for seven consecutive seasons while our Major League payroll has more than doubled over this same period. Our revenue sharing receipts are now just a fraction of what we spend on Major League payroll. We also have made significant investments in scouting, signing amateur players, our player development system and our baseball facilities. It is regrettable and that the MLBPA would react to a free agent market that is apparently not to its liking by filing a frivolous grievance against a Club that has continued to invest heavily in all areas of its Baseball Operations notwithstanding steadily diminishing revenue sharing receipts."
March 1, 20188 yr The Pirates with an excellent "shove-up-your-ass" statement in response to the grievance... could the Marlins say the same thing ?
March 1, 20188 yr Author could the Marlins say the same thing ? Probably plagiarism or just frowned upon to do that. May want to issue a statement in their own words.
March 1, 20188 yr Probably plagiarism or just frowned upon to do that. May want to issue a statement in their own words. Now I like you again.
March 1, 20188 yr could the Marlins say the same thing ? I'm sure there's something similar they could say but that Pirates statement had some pretty specific details about their revenue sharing receipts in relation to their payroll numbers, which was my favorite part of the statement. How they say their payroll has doubled while their revenue sharing numbers have decreased. If that's true the MLBPA is so full of it using this weak free agent market as a basis for a grievance.
March 1, 20188 yr The Pirates are a fucking joke. Cheaper ownership than Loria ever was. When Loria saw something that looked like playoffs he at least 'went for it'. Very poorly generally but went for it still. Pirates never did shit really.

Wholly ignores that their national revenues have increased by the same amount or more as their payroll has gone up.

March 1, 20188 yr Author so now you like Loria? Sounded more like he is saying both are shit but Pirates shit stinks more
March 1, 20188 yr Sounded more like he is saying both are shit but Pirates shit stinks more if he's saying just one thing in favor of Loria , he's admitting he likes Loria
March 2, 20188 yr Loria is gone. Shouldn't Das be a Marlins fan now? You sure are obsessed with ole Das.
March 2, 20188 yr so now you like Loria? Loria spent money stupidly but at least he spent money when he perceived they had a chance. It's too bad Pirates ownership was cheaper than Loria in general, never giving a quality front office a real chance.
March 2, 20188 yr You sure are obsessed with ole Das. Not sure you understand what the meaning of the word obsessed is.
March 2, 20188 yr Not sure you understand what the meaning of the word obsessed is. No pretty sure. Luckily you dont know more about me or I'd be more concerned.
March 2, 20188 yr No pretty sure. Luckily you dont know more about me or I'd be more concerned. Ok cool. Still not sure why you think I'm obsessed with you. Plenty of others here mention you a lot more than I do. Matter of fact I've been here so long and post plenty enough that I'm pretty sure I mention, bring up, talk to, and joke with/about virtually every single member on here. Not sure why you think you're the one I'm singling out. But if helps boost your ego then by all means run with it.

March 5, 20188 yr Ok cool. Still not sure why you think I'm obsessed with you. Plenty of others here mention you a lot more than I do.

Not sure why you think you're the one I'm singling out. But if helps boost your ego then by all means run with it. You've become extra obsessed with ole Das ever since Jeter took over. Fact.
March 5, 20188 yr You've become extra obsessed with ole Das ever since Jeter took over. Fact. Come to think of it, I'm starting to think it's the other way around.
