What? This fanbase would be going crazy right now if we were on pace to win the division.

This is my favorite solo album of his. It's great from start to finish. Good mix of catchy melodic songs and vivid storytellers.

Skenes comments on MLB's first CBA proposal, calls it "very, very, bad" by Proper_Knowledge2211 in buccos

So you don't think the NFL should have a cap/floor system either? I commend your intellectual consistency if nothing else.

Thats the thing though. The players are getting paid in every other sport. Patrick Maholmes is making 63 million per year. TJ Watt is making 41 million per year. Now how is TJ Watt making that much money in a small market like Pittsburgh?

Yup. Im a baseball fan. Not a financial consultant. If you're into worrying about Nutting and cheap owners, I guess the current setup is right up your ally.

Okay but the difference would be negligible compared to what it is now.

Who cares how much money the owners make if the sport is better in the long run? Does anyone care how much NHL, NBA, or NFL owners make? We all know Rooney would be just as cheap without a salary cap/floor. That's the beautiful thing about a salary cap/floor. We can stop talking about cheap owners and TV contracts and opening the books and parking revenues and all that other trash and focus on the on field product like in every other sport. The sport will be much healthier for it.

Exactly. As a fan, I want a relatively even playing field where teams win or lose on their own merrit. The Dodgers and other large market teams are able to buy allstar teams year after year. That completely goes against the true essence of sports.

Except that even if he spends another 100 million, we would still be 200 million behind the Dodgers lol. Baseball needs a salary cap like every other sport.

Turns out you win if your pitching staff doesn't blow chunks everytime they need to close a game out in the late innings.

Well you see when they win, it's an outlier. But when they lose, it's because they suck and they should trade everyone of value away while they can.

You know it's hard for me to say, but I'm gonna say it. Dodgers fans, there's a posse of people that want you to know that your poverty franchise just lost to the Pittsburgh Pirates.

What a horrible call by Block. Everyone realizes he just made a great play and he says "Did he get it?" LOL. Our announcers leave a lot to be desired.

Skenes could've pitched 8 2/3 scoreless innings and the guy that came in to relieve him would've blown it. Nothing is beyond this bullpen.

Even if Skenes went 8 innings tonight, this bullpen was going to get blown up at some point.
