After the 1st that place was quieter than many regular season games.

If the hope is praying they have 4 bad games in the next 6... what's the point of even playing the games.

Eliminate arbitration, pay young players more, and stars less. I could see a neutral scenario where that wins owners a lot of goodwill, without them having to give up a ton of political capital and probably wins them a considerable amount of the players union.

The MLB already pays like 45% or something like that into revenue sharing, sure some owners pocket that money but its not THAT far removed from the players. I think a big part of helping the players in this system would be eliminating the arbitration system for something better for young players.

Turang and Yelich have both looked lost at the plate this post season. Yelich had a good game 2, but his swings have looked non-competitive for the most part and Turang has had like 2 good ABs.

The thing about refusing to chase is you will never know if you were wrong, and can always claim you were right.

The problem with chasing is you know when your wrong, its a phycology that always favors the meek with righteousness.

A completely uninspiring minimalist win vs a team they should have beaten… the MLF way.

What if you think they could get back to what they were a decade ago but never sustain it? To me NIL is an equalizer in that it allows traditional less schools to surmount their lack of history with $$$ and build a great team for a few years. However the decade long power houses are gone imho.

I can’t speak for Canada but property taxes do lock a lotta folks in the states outta being able to afford homes. Taxes & insurance are equal to the payment for the home in many places. I agree we need to tax for local services but I’m more inclined to think income would be a better measure.
