    It's greed to ask for a pay increase while the value of the product they are providing also increases? I mean.... the nerve!!!

    Given the salry structure of the NBA, this has to be cap space related right? Young is a UFA at the end of the season so likely wont be around anyways, Eubanks is already waived... What's the real upside for the future unless it's just more cap space in exchange for moving down the draft board a bit

    Kinda sad that something like that would prevent a father from being able to work with the son due to the lcokout, but yeah... technically wouldnt be allowed. Im dealing with my own situation of a stirke right now at University, the faculty is on strike as of 11am this morning. They've been working for nearly 2 years without a contract and finally said enough was enough. So now I don't have class until it's resolved. Hopefully it wont be too long.

    AVERAGE: In 2000, the average value of an MLB team was $238 million. In 2019, the average value is $1.735 billion. This is an increase of $1.4097 billion (728%). Even cherry picking what's probably the lowest valued teams (Tampa, Oakland, Pittsburgh, Cinci)... They all show pretty nice valuation increases: https://www.statista.com/statistics/194639/mlb-franchise-value-of-the-tampa-bay-rays-since-2006/ https://www.statista.com/statistics/194631/mlb-franchise-value-of-the-pittsburgh-pirates-since-2006/ https://www.statista.com/statistics/194629/mlb-franchise-value-of-the-oakland-athletics-since-2006/ https://www.statista.com/statistics/194607/mlb-franchise-value-of-the-cincinnati-reds-since-2006/ For the big boys: https://www.statista.com/statistics/194628/mlb-franchise-value-of-the-new-york-yankees-since-2006/ https://www.statista.com/statistics/194621/mlb-franchise-value-of-the-los-angeles-dodgers-since-2006/ And Toronto https://www.statista.com/statistics/194642/mlb-franchise-value-of-the-toronto-blue-jays-since-2006/

    Summary of the owners new offer: We’ll fill all the Coke machines, for free. Deal?
  6. John_Havok
    I hate you for that
  7. John_Havok
    Another example of revisionist ******** catering to the unintelligent masses who are too dumb to speak the language correctly.
  8. John_Havok
    You split your infinitive though, which just makes you look dumb.

    Fergie is classy. He tried to ring Joe West to congratulate him on his retirement. But Joe missed the call.
  10. John_Havok
    Sure. I think he will be a quality bat. What kind of quality is subject to debate.
  11. John_Havok
    True, but Bichette is already doing it at the major league level and truly only for 1 season. We've yet to see if he can make the adjustment longer term. I think he will, but it's not a given. The way I see Bo is that 2021 was pretty much the best we'll see from him (which is totally fine... not saying it's bad or disappointing) unless he can make adjustments to laying off those pitches we can all see he has no business swinging at. Make that adjustment and he's easily superstar calibre rather than just all-star. Moreno hasn't done anything at the major league level yet, so forgive me if I hedge on the side of unproven. Can't really count on the 90th percentile outcome without having sniffed a major league pitch. It's possible... sure. Anything is possible.

    "Eric Logenhagen was saying he doesn’t see 30+ homer potential in that bat, but with his innate ability to make contact combined with his reported exit velos, I’ll have to disagree with him there." Well, that innate ability to make contact on bad pitches is what could actually prevent him from getting to the game power at the big league level. If he makes contact on pitches that he shouldn't be swinging at, he's much less likely to hit it for a HR. And when that scouting report gets around the league, he'll see even fewer pitches in the zone. Kinda like Kevin Pillar syndrome - except Moreno does have enough power to mash the mistakes.
  13. John_Havok
    No. he just forks over the money for whatever length of games the suspension would be for and it's over.
  14. John_Havok
    Any suspension would be retroactive to his admin leave start date. It's likely he'd be eligible to pitch on day 1 when the season starts.
  15. John_Havok
    Yes, it's possible laws MAY have been broken but they have little chance of conviction due to "insert factors here", but it could also mean the prospect of conviction is low because no laws were broken. We, not having all the info, should not make assumptions either way.

    Cheeky bastard, you stole my line.

    THis is my favorite so far:

    Hey, you learn something new everyday. I was not aware it was the owners who had originally pushed for arbitration, and it used to start after 2 years, with no limits on how often if could be gone through. https://www.cbssports.com/mlb/news/mlb-lockout-examining-baseballs-precedent-for-arbitration-eligibility-after-two-years/?fbclid=IwAR1lyjOCc0ruztSmMzGLqbViJ6fuIYcqHtr6j2jeyZLUIdYTUwS90N6TgtQ

    Yeah, there are stories from back in December that dont go into details, but basically state he is not expected to return to the team this season. Maybe he gets traded at the deadline, but otherwise will be bought out at the end of the season. He just doesnt want to play for Toronto for whatever reason.
  20. John_Havok
    Yeah. Gotta love it. Some other umps retired too, Fieldin Culbreth, Kerwin Danley, Gerry Davis, and Brian Gorman along with Joe West.
  21. John_Havok
    That's his point. The MLB statement is worded so that it puts the blame on the PA for Spring Training not opening on time, when the only thing currently stopping it is the lockout, which is 100% on the ownership group.
  22. John_Havok
  23. John_Havok
    Damn. I never even had the thought that Davis might have been on steroids.
  24. John_Havok
    Only the lockout is currently preventing spring training from moving forward. Kind of an important word to have been left out. If the owners ended the lockout, there's no guarantee the player's wouldnt strike.
  25. John_Havok
    Of course, but like I said. its all about perspective.
