    well, i want it at 15 seconds...that's an extra 10-12 minutes a game. lol. and the point of getting rid of the shift, large bases, etc, is to get the ball in play more which would hopefully reduce the number of walks and foul balls. when teams came to the conclusion that the most effecient way to win was to take pitches, walk, and hit home runs, the game became immesurably slower. if they can make it easier to win another way thst involves speed, putting the ball in play, and running, then maybe it will change.

    honestly, i dont care either. except the pitch clock. i want to be able to watch a 2-230 hour game again.

    they can "believe" it all they want, i dont think theyre correct. and it doesnt do anything to create a floor where teams like the pirates or rays have to pay salaries. look, this current system is a great deal for the owners now that they've finally figured out how to manipulate it properly. the players seem to have this visceral reaction to a "salary cap" of any kind. as long as it comes with a revenue split % and forces more revenue sharing with the owners they should take it. and i hate salary caps in principal but it would solve a lot of this nonsense.

    i dont know how you address it in baseball because the revenues between teams are so different because of the media deals. the only way to really address it and make all teams pay salary money is to have a real cap and floor, but the players will never accept that. then have more revenue sharing and a guaranteed amount of revenue going to the players every year, but the owners wont accept that.

    the red wings should issue an apology for having the Russian Five on their team.

    the goal was to get more action back in the game and to incentivize teams to do more running and less station to station three true outcome baseball. the theory being if they make the bases just a little bit bigger, it will incentivize teams to steal bases as well as putting the ball in play more becsuse it will be easier to get things like infield singles, etc (because the bases will be a little closer to each other).

    they already cut that from 2 45 to 2 15. and that's not the real delay. the real delay is the delay in between pitches.

    maybe you should start a gofundme page for poor schoop, considering he's only made more money in one year than 99% of the people on earth will earn in a lifetime? how does one live on $31 million in career earnings? i just dont understand the heartlessness of the american public in their disdain for the troubles of the working man.

    wishful thinking. that said, when the bears traded up from 3 to 2 to get mitchell "biscuit" trubisky, they gave up #3, #67, #111, and a future third. so a first, a third, a fourth, and a future third. that may be too rich, but that would be around the expectation for a move up to #2.

    they revised it up.

    tiny hands, as well as short arms and a small wingspan for a guy his height. pickett is weirdly built.

    if anything it hurts guys like schoop. less money for him. every team has a payroll from ownership, there's only so much salary to go around for the schoops of the world.

    the negotiators are meeting again. one can only hope that they are aware of how important their mission is to the world and that none of them are smiling.

    rob manfred didnt allow them to counter because he is evil. EVIL!

    rob manfred is not allowed to smile because he is an evil chariacture of a person. how dare he smile when isaac paredes barely has enough money to eat?

    agree to a cap with a floor and you get a % of revenues. like other sports do it. but if they do that they will give up 10 year 360 million contracts that 1% of their membership gets so they wont do it.

    me too, and they tried some stuff there too. but the real driver is the time between pitches. keep em in the box and make them throw within 15 seconds and the game speeds up dramatically. the average time in the 70s was 2 hr 30 mins. the average games now are well over 3 hours.

    i didnt know our old friend martin mayhew is back as the gm for the artists formerly known as the washington redskins. also, washington tried to trade a first and third for stafford last year? huh, i dont remember reading that either.

    what we need to do is get rid of gambling and fantasy baseball and return the game to its purity! only people who love baseball and are willing to sit through 4 hour games need apply for tickets. that will definitely solve baseball's problems.
