    So,you would have been OK with Clinton? Fear of Clinton was the reason Putin campaigned for Trump.

    longer games = more opportunities to place bets.

    Maybe. I think they bigger question may be whether fans will come back after discovering in the Covid era that there are other things they can do and even like better. On the other hand, attendance did drop for a few years after 1994 until they juiced up the balls and bodies.

    It's the summer game and they'll still go to the games, but they'll lose a small percentage on top of losses they've already encountered. I think they'll lose money through TV subscriptions too. I think what may save them is gambling, but even the gamblers might not like baseball as much as other sports. It's too random. I do agree they need to speed up the game, but they are still competing with sports that are more exciting to new fans than baseball.

    Unless the field for the 2024 presidency changes substantially, my only concern is Trump re-assuming the presidency. I am not enamored by Democratic leadership, but I trust they'll let the miltary experts inform them as to the best course of action. I can't trust the former guy to do that. He'll just make it all about himself.

    It's more a criticism of Manfred than what he said. He's one of those people who I can't stand listening to because I know it's all BS.

    ? Do you mean "Do you think the players give a shit about the fans?" Maybe one, but probably not two. I am kind of neutral on the players position. I would rather they gain more money than the owners, but I don't feel bad for them. They are paid well. It's not a social justice thing.

    I still think it will be close to a full season. They'll play chicken a little while longer and start the season some time in April.

    I thought it was stupid and dishonest to the point of being hilarious.
  13. Tiger337
    No, I don't expect someone of his ilk to be honest or care about anything beyond money. I EXPECTED him to say something stupid and he did. That doesn't excuse him for saying something stupid.

    The pitch clock would be good. I am sure they'll find a way to screw it up, but there is potential there.
  15. Tiger337
    Right, an empty suit. He doesn't give a shit about the fans or the game except for the money he can get out of it. I'll never forget the day he said they were going to expand playoffs because Americans love brackets! I have never seen anyone care less about the game than him.

    This would have bothered me a lot more a few years ago. I still love the game but just don't get as excited about the season as much as I used to. It used to be a huge part of my life, but There are other things going on in my life that are getting my attention. I will continue to read and sometimes write about baseball history/statistics and hopefully watch more minor league games this year.

    Are you serious? Manfred sucks!
  18. Tiger337
    Oh my goodness, The very definition of an empty suit.

    I want to meet the 2% who have no opinion. They must not be on the internet.

    12 teams would work most logicallly with two expansion teams and 4 * 8 team divisions. All the division winners would get a bye and the first round would be all the wildcards.
  21. Tiger337
    I hope the shooter knew the difference between a clip and a magazine.
  22. Tiger337
    So, it looks like they have compromised on 12 teams. Still too many, but it feels different from 14.

    My new favorite non-Tiger:

    I want to be able to compare statistics throughout history, one of my favorite things to do, so there should be a similar number of games. They could cut off a few games if they think it's necessary, but cutting a whole month of games would be bad. As for who plays who how many times, I'd like to see fewer divisions and no interleague play and no wildcards. I am assuming there will be a million teams in the post-season tournament Let's make it 16. 16 teams is no worse than 14 and it gives us a nicer number. Take the top four teams in each division. Play 16 games against each divisional opponent and 6 games versus each opponent in the other division.

    Jobe has the face of a player that is going to be either really good or really bad. There will be no in between.
