I believe the MLB teams own the players and coaches contracts. The name, stadium, concessions, etc belong to the minor league franchise. If you control the players and coaches, you essentially own the team.

probably splitting hairs, but they don't own the team in that they don't have any vested interest in the profitability of the team.  that was the point i was speaking to when someone gave the hypothetical of MLB clubs shouldn't care about MiLB records because they're development leagues for the big league club.

Ok, I get what you were saying now and I agree.

I agree to some extent but I would assume that MiLB owners also care about fans in the stands. If the team is going 40-100 but continuing to send up MLB prospects, I would think the stands are relatively empty.   

Admittedly I've never permanently lived in a minor league town but I assume fans always care about seeing a winning team over one that just produces talent for the major league team.

 

I think it depends on how knowledgeable the fan base is.

”did you see x, y, and z this weekend? They went a combined 11-20 with 5 hrs. I can’t said till we see them with the big club” should always outweigh “man, we’re on a 10 game winning streak right now. Hopefully they can carry that over to the playoffs and we can win a minor league championship.”

That isn’t the case for any other level of baseball, or any other sport.

That’s exactly what I was getting at.

 

Sure Winning is better, but seeing a pitcher develop a 3rd pitch or a hitter closing a hole in his swing is a lot of fun too when watching the minors.

 

and jdging by the typical fan and club reactions when players get called up to the Show, it’s still awesome all the way around.  Nobody GAF what Round Rock’s record is in their league if they keep sending prospects to the Astros clubhouse.

Outside looking in it's a bitch move however in the 9th if I'm up to bat I'm not giving a fuck and trying to get on anyway I can

It was 3-0 not 10-0.  Damn right.

He didn't know the catcher couldn't use his mask to stop/field a ball?  

[gsoda3 3283]
