I'm in my 30's too. I still play baseball, as do my 3 boys. Almost all the people I hang out with love baseball and do care about it. I also love basketball. I'd say half the people I hang out with love it too. I understand baseball isn't huge with the younger generation and that MLB needs to do a better job. I don't think 2 weeks of it being the only sport on TV is going to save the game. However, the original point was you said that nobody is going to care about a 48 game schedule. That is false. You never know - a 48 game schedule might actually engage the younger generation as every game matters (something the full 162 game grind doesn't give the impression of). -
To normal people - working less for the same amount of money would be viewed as a good thing. If MLB offered an 82 game season with full pro-rated salaries....would the MLBPA reject it because it's only 50% of their salary?
-
So all your complaining is about missing a 2 week window when there's no NBA or NHL to watch? c'mon man.
-
Why won't anyone give a damn about it? A 48 game schedule heightens the importance of every game. It may almost feel like playoff baseball for the entire season. While I understand that goes against tradition and the traditional strategy - it could make it very interesting for fans to watch.
-
Interesting thought. If there's no season - or just a partial season, we might end up with another Top 5 or Top 10 pick.
-
MLB just proposed a 76 game season with 75% of prorated salaries...

I finally watched it. Really enjoyed it and would generally echo was BlueRocky said. -
Veen's pretty confident to say he's been compared to Bellinger and then say he doesn't play the game to be average like him.
-
this seems most plausible - and I mean - we can almost see those results (TJ Zeuch)
-
I hear you man. I have to imagine it's the health concerns - and not the SSS 2020 results that are impacting the slide? Might be some of the analytics on his spin rates and such too? Might be teams over thinking it.
-
I agree on Hancock. I read in a mock yesterday how he was shaping up to be one of the best 1-1 picks in awhile after his 2019 season. That's high praise that now seems to be overshadowed by like 4 starts in 2020. The big unknown seems to be the report on his health, with some concern as to why he was shut down last year and was slow out of the gate this year. If teams get that information and it suggests a clean bill of health - he seems like an upside pick.

TSN re-aired it last night. I've taped it, but haven't watched yet. I suspect it will be on TSN somewhat regularly for the next little bit. -
BR - don't you ever apologize for your posts ever again you beautiful bastard!
-
It looks like Ginn is going to end up at the end of the 1st round...
-
Yeah - I see it in your YouTube link....but not as much in the 2 embedded videos. I see it a lot in this video from his time with the USA team Might just be camera angles.
-
Meyer looks like he lands so wide open when he pitches. Anyone else see that in his mechanics?
-
We haven't even talked about Robert Hassell. Kiley has him 6th overall now. Much more likely to stick in CF as a good defender. He looks like a future stud too.
-
Dozier was a 5-6 WAR player at his peek. I guess Metafor will have to rule on whether you're allowed to compare a potential top 5 draft pick to someone that good.
-
I mean in terms of a hitter. He's a .290 hitter with a 10% walk rate and 25 hr/year (until last year). That's essentially the hitter that BlueRocky described above. It certainly doesn't appear that he'll provide the defensive value that Rendon does, although his base running may be similar. Perhaps I should have said - does he have the potential to be a Rendon type player (probably with less defensive value)?
-
This is getting really interesting. Owner caved to the players and agreed to pay a full pro-rated salary right? Either they are just low balling it (while giving up the full pro-rated salary) so they can meet in the middle around 82 games (which is what they originally wanted) - or they are trying to 'miss' the 2nd wave. I still think this has to be viewed as a step in the right direction.
-
BlueRocky - would an Anthony Rendon comp for Gonzales make sense?
-
Interesting. It didn't look like hitting was his thing...

Same - I thought it started at 8 and went down to hit record at like 7:30 only to find it half over. I scrolled through and couldn't find any re-runs. Has anyone found it online yet? Please share. -
NHL and NBA start well before December. I did hear the NBA was thinking of waiting and opening on Christmas Day and making that the 'new norm'. So with that said - why don't you hear any of this from the NFL? They aren't negotiating salaries based on empty stadiums, they don't seem worried about playing in the fall, etc. If the NHL and NBA don't think they'll be able to start next year at the normal time - I would assume they'll end up in payment negotiations like MLB is? What a mess.
-
what about the NFL? I doubt they'll have fans in the seats and there's a chance the 2nd wave of COVID will hit right in the middle of their season.
