October 21, 20214 yr After the impact of the shortened 2020 season, I believe MLB and MLBPA just not stupid enough to have a lockout in the 2022 and they better not try to test the patience and loyalty of the baseball fans. Edited October 21, 20214 yr by taiwanmarlin

October 21, 20214 yr And it will be over the smallest of things. And it will be very public because of finger pointing. And it will get very ugly. And in the end, they'll get something done but it won't be optimal.

October 22, 20214 yr I'm not convinced any games would be lost as of yet. But spring training probably gets delayed at the very least. Owners are assholes. If players dont take a hard line stance, owners will keep on pushing things more and more to keep players down and make them essentially indentured servants for longer. But players are assholes as well allowing owners to fuck over minor leaguers for as long as they have, BUT they arent members of the union so... Fuck them?

October 25, 20214 yr Author If a lockout is can not avoid everytime when the old CBA expired, why not just have a CBA with valid period of 100 years !? it's really very frustrated.

October 25, 20214 yr Author No new CBA, no winter meeting, no hot stove season, no 2022 season, fxck you Manfred, fxck you MLB and fxck you MLBPA !!!

October 25, 20214 yr This is IMPOSSIBLE. @Das Texan said no animosity from either side in 2020 would carry over to CBA negotiations.
October 26, 20214 yr May be a will and desire to agree but also a will and desire to publicly sling as much mud as possible at the other side until the agreement is made.

Basically what I said 😄 thank you, Das.
