    And that could become the problem. If they have Mize, Skubal, Manning, Torkelson, and Greene hitting their primes, they're going to want to keep what they can and they'll have a declining value contract in Correa on the books (if he's still healthy, let's not forget that part of his resume). It's wise to construct a contract that way, a bell shaped curve that offers some financial protection. But if a contract has a base value that high, even bell curving it makes it awfully risky.

    Manning is the 5th SP. Let's not assume he is more than that until he shows otherwise. Greinke is interesting because of his ability to pitch as opposed to "just throwing". There is a minimal amount of MPH that a P is going to need to get through a MLB outing. Whether or not he still has the minimal amount and can sustain it through the season, I don't know. And I don't want to compare their careers because Greinke has had a much better career than Kenny Rogers. But this kind of seems like it could be a similar kind of free agent move for the Tigers if the velocity isn't an issue.

    The 4th was garbage, but they probably shouldn't have been in the game then considering the lack of bench. 2/15 FG including a bagel/6 on 3s. But, despite that, the first 3 quarters were a blast. There was some serious back and forth, and it made for a compelling watch if you didn't have a rooting interest. This has been a different team since the addition of Bagley. I don't know that all of the credit for that should go to Bagley, but they've been in every game after they gave up 132 to Memphis and 141 to Charlotte in back-to-back home losses in mid February.

    I bet MLB moves the whole week that was missed onto the end of the season. I think they’ll find shoehorning that week into the current season with only adding 3 days becomes too problematic. The logical days where Detroit is out west don’t coincide with days off for Seattle/Oakland. They can try shuffling series and all of that, but it’s probably too much of a puzzle to deal with.

    Everybody knows that's how bull riding was created.

    But it only rewards division winners. It doesn't reward a situation like last season where the Dodgers won 106 games were seeded worse than the Brewers (90 wins) and the Braves (88 wins) because of geography (Giants, 107 wins). Seed the teams according to winning percentage. 1 & 2 get byes, 3 vs 6, and 4 vs 5. Then rerack things for the next round like the NFL does it instead of having the rigid bracket that they are planning on.

    Collusion.

    True. But have they mentioned what the dimensions on the MLB jersey & helmet adverts will be?

    Detroit Pistons (18-48) vs Boston Celtics (40-27)

    Lee for commissioner.

    That’ll be a trip to the A’s or Mariners. So are they keeping the schedule and just folding the missing series in all willy nilly? Two single day doubleheader trips out west to make up the Seattle series will be joyous.

    That’s the actual memo? I expected crayons from Manfred.

    I agree with you, the playoff structure and game play are what I consider the priorities to me as a fan. The money is too big for me to be concerned about. I don't think anyone is worth $30M/season, but I sure as hell would take it if offered. And I don't want to hear the owners crying poor; sell the team and get out if its that bad. I would like to see minor leaguers taken care of better financially, but that's not going to be a part of this CBA. MLB wants to have more control over the minor leagues. It would seem like the MLBPA would be wise to help establish a union for the group of baseball players that could actually use some improved salaries, but that ain't gonna happen. I want to see the current service time loophole taken care of. I think I consider that a financial aspect as it has been used as a mechanism by trading a handful of games for an extra season of team control.

    That won't be the patch. That will be the actual uniform.

    Chicago Bulls (39-26) vs Detroit Pistons (18-47)

    Seems par for the course.

    Ugh….. we jinxed Hayes.

    5-5. He had a three in the first half, but it was later ruled to be after the shot clock. He’s having a nice game.

    So a middle infielder will just be up the middle, or will stay off of the line a bit and time themselves moving to the other in tandem with the windup so that they cross the imaginary line legally but are still in a shift type of alignment. Seems ridiculous to govern since that extra IF is pretty close to the middle anyway. I guess keeping all 4 IFs on the grass will be a bit different. Those shifts have the 2B or 3B out in short RF for LHHs, but RHHs typically have all 4 IFs on the dirt. But again, if that's what the defense wants to do, have at it.

    Rutgers is a #4 seed in the Big Ten men's basketball tourney? Strange times, indeed.

    You're right, but it doesn't fit the current grip it & rip it offensive culture.

    Atlanta Hawks (31-32) vs Detroit Pistons (17-47)

    Don’t eat from the one that Moises Alou brought.
