    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.

     

  3. 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.

    I understand that it isn’t technically a procedural hence the word seems. But it views like one. If it makes you feel better, I’ll amend my statement. It seems to me like a run-of-mill network police serial.

    It’s illegal for a car manufacturer to have own. dealerships in Texas. Must be franchised And Tesla doesn’t do that. What you think are dealerships are just showrooms. Sometimes repair as well. You have to order directly from Tesla in California and it will ship to you. You arrange your own financing and car had to be paid for before it ships. 

  9. I’m a big fan of the books. I think I’ve read them all. Not a big fan of the show. It seems to me like a run of the mill network police procedural. Acting is clunky. Haven’t been able to get through this last season

    I’d like to hear your explanation for this statement.

    Yeah, I'm waiting for that, too.

    So, six years after the show ends, it's Chase's fault he dies?

    Here we are going toe to toe with Lobo. At least he got the cunt-sensitive part right. 

  11. I can't believe the MLBPA okayed that $20K cap.  Looking forward to seeing how teams try to get around that rule.

    It’s not hard to justify with these numbers

    And it gets worse


    Looking at how many draftees end up serving as more than a callup/fill-in sees that number drops dramatically again. Very rarely are there 100 draftees in a draft who manage to produce 0.1 WAR. Only 9.8 percent of draftees who signed have managed to register 0.1 career WAR, which is roughly 83 players per season.

    College baseball is going to be stacked next year.  What a year for college teams that have top recruiting classes. They will get most everyone on campus. 

    You will see a ton of high school players go the Juco route so they don’t have wait until after their junior year to go pro.
