It is also anti-union. Try to square that one.

And millions voted for him anyway (or stayed home, unconcerned). The problem, therefore, is the public.

Can there be a deterioration of something that never existed to begin with? 😉

Not to mention: the vast majority of players voted for this. Make it make sense.

People ask me why I love baseball so much. It's this. The game requires such a disparate set of skills in order to be good. Witt is capable of this and then hitting a ball 420 feet, in the same game. Incredible.

Typical academic double-speak is what that is. Nobody should be shocked. And that's because nobody knows what to do with or about AI. All it's accomplished is making the job of teaching writing 1000x harder than it used to be.

Why did you use the names of heads of state except with Israel? Say "Netanyahu played Trump..." Let's stop this crap.

The anti-genocide crowd who stayed home or voted third party actually voted for more genocide. As John Mellencamp sang, "Ain't that America?"

I appreciate your TV takes...particularly on the things you think don't work. So I say: watch it so you can share your take.

Yep. Nit much has changed. But what has changed is our collective sense that what's going on is unprecedented.

I get that...but MLB owners are what they are. I expect more from union members. And plus: the sport needs a cap/floor system. 🍻

1. They are already getting a bad deal. The young players in their prime are underpaid; 2. I am pointing out that the MLBPA does NOT support your right to unionize and fully supports management in other fields to screw you. That is what they have thrown their weight behind.

You're not following thenline of thing AT ALL. Trump support is anti-worker and anti-union. And your ballplayers overwhelmingly support Trump. Period. There is nowhere else for you to take this argument, I hate to say.

You are confusing "whataboutism" with hypocrisy.

If the owners are serious, they need to offer a signficant increase in min salary and a quicker/easier path to free agency and arbitration. The younger players are getting screwed in this system.

What is now legitimizing it is that we have evidence that some teams (Twins and Pirates, mainly) who have lost money. And the Padres had to borrow money to make payroll. So the time is ripe

Um... They mostly support Trump who is anti-union and anti-worker. So you might want to rethink the idea that they represent the workers. They do not. They believe unions are for them but not for you and me.

Why do you think the owners influenced this? Fans see how a cap has had a positive effect in most other sports. They're not stupid.
