    I'll call it right now -- no season.  The owners have decided that it would be more valuable to start the process of breaking the union than to play half a season fraught with risk and uncertainty for a fraction of normal revenues.

    That is an excellent point. The contact expires after next season.  But the MLBPA is pretty powerful and will be  a tough nut to crack. If main issue becomes revenue sharing, get ready for a strike. 

  2. The problem comes from not implementing a no-fan contingency in the March agreement to pro rate salaries. Now it’s a cluster fuck. Assuming the MLB claim that 40% of revenues is from ticket sales, concessions etc is true then you can conclude that team revenues will be down approximately 70% with a 81 game, no-fan season. That’s a pretty big gap to fill in negotiations.

    So where does he go, and who replaces him?  I usually don't start taking a look at who has contracts that are coming due, until the silly season really heats up during the summer break. 

    Ricciardo Is an option. Maybe things really get crazy and Hamilton goes to Ferrari

    So July 4th start....82 games most within division + Interleague with the NL West.  

    Looks like a great time to run Verlander and McCullers into the ground for another WS Ring

    I don’t think this deal is going to get rubber stamped by the MLBPA. There are some pretty big issues to be resolved when it comes to figuring player salaries.

    The MLBPA is the most powerful union in major sports. The owners are definitely in austerity mode. Look at what they are doing with MILB and the draft. Both sides have incentive to work it out. But it could turn into a dogfight.

     

  6. The owners have green lit a plan for the season and will send it to the union tomorrow. A big snag will be players salaries. It had already been agreed that they would be prorated over the number of gains played. The hang up is that this agreement was made without taking into consideration playing in empty stadiums and the subsequent lost revenue. Obviously the players don’t want to give up any more and the owners want a further reduction by pegging salaries to revenues. I understand both sides and hope they can work it out.

    Trying to make it through Fleabag, but the main character is extremely unlikable and it's just uncomfortable cringe scene after uncomfortable cringe scene.

    Lulz. All is right in the universe.

    I'm convinced TonyTexas is trolling at this point.  He's had some absolutely retarded takes on TV shows the past week.

    it is quite reassuring to me that my opinions don’t align with yours.

    If Bosch is run-of-mill I'm curious what other US-produced police investigatory shows you'd also put in that category? Maybe I'm overlooking some but I can't think of more than a few I thought were any good.

    I very much enjoyed S1 to S4. I thought S5 got tiresome, like they had to do too much to wrap up the loose ends. Hopefully that pays off in S6.

    I’d put Bosch way below the Wire, The Shield, Hill Street Blues, True Detective, Justified. I’d put it more in line with the CSIs, Law and Order, Homicide. Don’t get me wrong, Bosch isn’t terrible. But it’s not great either.
