Fuck this Universal DH BS

 

 

That poll needs a 3rd option. A shortened season would definitely be a huge asterisk but "yes its baseball" because I want a season even if it's a shortened one so I want a middle option. 

MOVEMENT

 

 

I am confident they can't mess this up, the sides are very close.

 

This is OK. We're very close here. 65 or 66 games in the end.

66 lets go

 

Mutual waiver of grievance. This is good, owners want that waiver in there. So that's already even closer than I thought.

 

It's 10 games, a-holes, suck it up.

$300 million, 30 owners, works out to $10 million a team. They are so upset over that? They hand out bad contracts worth more than that constantly.

If Rob Manfred fucks this up, he will be fired.  

Book it.

It's cheaper than a #4 starter. Lol

and that's what's going to KEEP happening...the NFL is going to be a MESS if they proceed.  part of me will be surprised to see them make it out of preseason games.  i understand the burning desire to see sports again but man...it's just going to spread and spread and spread no matter what when you have people in locker rooms and in dugouts sitting near one another.  There are tons of false negatives and a lot of people are asymptomatic so yeah, it's going to be a hot mess until someone figures out a vaccination. 

Cancel the 2020 MLB season and postpone the other league seasons for now. Cancel remainder of NBA and NHL seasons. Just keep things locked down a bit until October and then cautiously open up.

3,822 new cases in Florida according to today's numbers. 3,207 yesterday. 2600 and 2700 roughly the previous two days. We're going in the wrong direction here and for some reason we're still opening up more things.

Looks like the TB Lightning had to shut their down as well in addition to the Blue Jays.  Florida and Arizona are blowing up with cases.  Tampa's mayor just recently mandated masks to be worn indoors but people are harping about trampling of rights again. so on we go.

Yep.  I remember saying something like this back in March or so on here and I know it was probably one of the few times most of ya'll agreed with me haha.

Pushing for this now only potentially ruins the chances at having full, NORMAL, seasons in the years to come.

 

 

 

So stupid that the gap is 10 games and they can't get a deal done.  10 games, really?

Meeting in the middle at 65 (or 66) makes so much sense. This is ridiculous.
