    dumbest.

    I remember tuning into a pregame on the radio and Sorensen's letter of resignation was read on air, I think by Beckman. It was just a strange beginning to a ballgame. The situation itself was bizarre because I think it kind of came out of nowhere, at least for those not privy to the situation.

    Nothing wrong with MLB on the radio in the background whilst doing yard work or some other chore.

    With MLB taking more control over the minor leagues, at what point does the MLBPA extend into the minor leagues?

    Other than that....

    The DH thing should have been settled a while ago. Its just not practical to ask Ps to hit in the majors when they don't do it in the minors.

    I wonder who he prayed to when he lost stuff.

    Detroit Pistons (12-44) vs Washington Wizards (25-30)

    My bad, I wasn’t explicit enough. I was too worried thinking about how somebody can survive on an MLB wage whilst typing and got distracted. Let’s be clear on something here. This isn’t a typical union vs management CBA negotiation. It’s nothing at all like that. Biases regarding a situation were $25/hour jobs simply do not parallel to where top earners make $25M/year. They’re playing with silly gobs of money in the middle of an expletive pandemic with inflation at ridiculous heights. Both sides are at fault. Both sides are culpable for the delay. To blindly side with one side over the other in this matter is flat out asinine.

    It’s going to be part of the halftime show. Rob Manfred and Tony Clark are going to hit the stage with Snoop, Dr Dre, and Mary J Blige.

    It’s pretty simple. Both sides are to blame for the delay.

    I can’t believe Lee is the one making food jokes about Paredes. Any of most of the rest of us are the jerks that should be doing that.

    What position am I taking?

    If they could've gotten some range out of SS, keeping Cabrera at 3B would have been fine. Then again, there's more wear and tear at 3B than at 1B. Then again, had he been the 3B for longer, it might have forced him to keep up with conditioning better. There's an alternate universe out there where Cabrera is in shape and Hunter catches that ball in front of the Fenway bullpen.

    Looking at Cabrera's stats to see where he might land, and I guess I am surprised he had only 2 seasons at 3B. For some reason I thought he had a bit more time there. But I don't know, given the dearth of 3B that the Tigers have had over the years, that 14.6 for those two season might still get him high on the list.

    Nah, we can't do that anymore. Tik tok 'Murica won't allow that. (But, yes, you have a very valid point.) Edit to add: This is not to say that in this specific case that one side is more evil but also more right. Its just possible for nuance and layers to be involved in these cases. Case in point is the timing of the negotiations. Both sides are playing chicken with the other and its just going to screw over the fans and spring training economies. The lockout occurred in, what, the beginning of December and neither side put forth any official offer until the last few weeks? Come on, both sides are at fault here.

    Come on, you have to pick a side. Its either all in for one or all in for the other. Its just like politics. One side of the aisle is pure and saintly while the other side is the absolute worst of the worst.

    The owners might go for that, but the players goal is to get as much as possible, so that maintains the divide between them.

    It still surprises me that MLB minimum salary is lower than NHL minimum salary.

    I thought I saw/heard something about non 40 man roster players still showing up to camp. But I don’t know how reliable that (my memory or the source) is.

    A darn good CF for being a converted 3B. Another thing about Lemon, he led the league in HBP for 4 out of 5 consecutive seasons. And another thing…… happy 67th birthday, Chet.

    I think they can be separate, but a lot of times they are in tandem. Oakland has a low payroll, but they ain't tanking.
  24. casimir
    Come on....

    Every time I think of Lemon, my mind's eye has him catching a lazy fly ball with his mitt just barely over his left shoulder, right about the height of his head.
