well sure, but you're not going to get Taiwan's semiconductor foundries by invading them - I would guess the Taiwanese would destroy them before they let Xi have them. As Muad'dib would say "He who has the power to destroy a thing controls it absolutely"

Saw this at the game Friday. Great use of jersey!

I'd give it 90 seconds, but if it was that close that looking at it for 90 seconds doesn't change it, then it's not clear evidence. And no New York. You hire a retired referee and a tech expert and put them in each stadium and make sure that neither one of them has any ties to the teams playing. Whistle blows, clock starts, if there are technical glitches, well, too bad. Lots of historic games were decided on close or bad calls. It's the human element. Even the idea of a retired ref brings me pause, because I don't think they want to make their referee friends look bad, but they do have the credibility and they know the rules (hopefully). You only need 16 of 'em.

At a single point in time there you can always select of a subset of your customers willing to pay a higher price and then maximize revenue at a sales point with fewer, higher value sales. But that is at a point in time of an established market. But for pro sport its the TV that creates the market in the first place. Cut back on the wide desemination of the games and the overall customer base shrinks, and eventually the numbers willing to pay the premium price begin to fall as well. So long term it's self-defeating for the sport as a whole, even if a manager can boost his quarterley revenue short term. Given the nature of US corporate governance, it's easy to understand how this kind self-defeating strategy becomes the order of the day. People confuse 'Market Economy' and the particular organzational evolution of US corporate structure and management. They are not the same thing, and you can have a market economy and its benefits with a vastly different set legal and organizational structures than the particular ones that have evolved in the US and no doubt a better one at that.

Well, the idea that wanting fewer people to have access to your product is a good idea is absurd. This isn't diamonds here, this is baseball, it's not elitist, but if that's what they want, well, good luck with that. More viewers = higher commercial royalties = more profit. Why do you think they charge so much for a Super Bowl ad. (oh, sorry, Big Game, don't sue me, NFL). When it was Fox Sports I could watch the Tigers, every single game. Sinclair came along and took that option away, so excuse me for celebrating their downfall. I hope they rot. If they had a great business model, then they'd be in a better place. I even paid for their stupid streaming channel for one month. I thought $20 was worth it as a Tiger fan. It was nothing but issue after issue. It was one of the most poorly designed apps/streaming channels I've ever dealt with, so I cancelled it. Couldn't log on half the time. I'd have to change my password, it would suddenly stop, I'd try to log in again and I would have to go change my password --- again. Plus, on more than one occasion, it got stuck in a commercial loop and I had to shut it down, and login again. Couldn't get any response from them at all. Oh, it doesn't play nice with Amazon Fire Stick. Are you kidding me? Nobody uses those things. And your idea that Sinclair radio and TV are different? They are run by the same people at the top.

That’s not censorship. Not even close.

They're not going to do it with a tag though. Cruzer is way off base with that... like... in outer space. We get an affordable contract with Chark, or Holmes moves on. It's that simple. Either with a different FA that replicates Chark's ability... or a later round draft pick flyer that the FO likes. IMO.

Cossa stops 26 shots an route to his 2nd shut out at Toledo

There's not a lot that Holmes & Co. could do to piss me off and make me say "what a stupid move". Tagging an injury prone WR3 with a Spotrac of $9.5MM AAV after a 2022 season where he recorded 502 yards, playing in only 11 games (because, again, injury prone)... That would piss me off and make me say "what a stupid move". I'm not even sure he needs to be replaced if he walks. A Mike Evans type is a bit of a luxury when you have your outside speed in Jamo and your sure-fire slot in ASB.

Well current tV contacts for airing games aren't based on how many people tune in on given day. Start there. Step 1a) why should youtube pay for carrying 30 rsn at their current rate? Step 2 it's silly silly to compare it to thr nfl. Football has a salary cap and 17 games a year they can make one national contract and share revenue equally. Baseball can't cause teams like the Yankees have no reason to agree to it. Step 3, Sinclair radio is different than Sinclair TV. Step 4 adding more viewers isn't always the best business deal. Crazy to say but think about it. Putting diamonds out there so everybody can have them doesn't make them more valuable. Step 5. This bankruptcy was inventiable. And something a host of media companies have done in the past decade. Step 6 Blackout rules do present a challenge bit they are there because of Step 1 and Step 4. Putting them to the side creates more challenges such as decreased subscription fees, decreased cable desire and potential oversaturation.

Well, I do understand that I can't see Tigers games on You Tube TV and I am not alone, there are thousands or hundreds of thousands of baseball fans shut out. That's dumb. You want to make deals that have MORE viewers not less, but I am familiar through some radio friends about the cultish aspects of Sinclair. They play themselves off as religious, but they are devious.....

No way. He’s not worth Kenny Golladay money. 😂

He looked like a decathlon competitor, and probably had the talent too.

Encarnacion had a good look for a baseball player. Especially at that time. That’s before players began working out to the degree they do today. Slim. Muscular. Looked like an athlete.

cross hanas with shoulder surgery. out for the rest of the season.
