Make no mistake: this I precisely why Manfred is blaming the players right now.

He doesn't have to, people are lining up to defend the owners and say it's the players' fault because they rejected MLB's bubble proposal (because let's just assume MLB was acting in good faith which they always do in negotiations)

When the time is right, you’ll see the usual suspects talking about how owners are “concerned” and “frustrated” and just want to play America’s pastime but those irresponsible players are making it impossible with their lack of discipline and selfishness. Basically the “Player just left Boston” playbook but league wide.

I wish MLB didn't have so much ready made ammunition to turn this on the players. Dudes c'mon wear some masks and stop doing stupid things

There was also a commissioner in the late 60s, William Eckert, who was also pushed out because of labor issues FlamingLiberal fucked around with this message at 00:17 on Aug 2, 2020 |

BigBallChunkyTime posted:Has MLB ever ousted a commissioner before? Fay Vincent is the most obvious one; he faced a blatant owner revolt after they believed he gave up too much to the union in the 1990 lockout, and he ultimately resigned after receiving a hugely stacked vote of no confidence against him.

Who could have possibly seen this coming? MLB is burning down and Passan is hanging out in Tightwad, MO https://twitter.com/JeffPassan/status/1289706739349065731?s=20 I've driven through there a bunch of times to get to a nearby Marina. It has a bank.

bees x1000 posted:I wish MLB didn't have so much ready made ammunition to turn this on the players. Dudes c'mon wear some masks and stop doing stupid things The worst part about all of this is that both Manfred and the players are at fault so when Manfred blames players he's not entirely wrong. After all, it's the Marlins players that decided to head to Atlanta's strip clubs. The problem is that he will solely blame them and will very much have very public ammunition for his case. The players are doing themselves a huge disservice in losing public good will. Many aren't even wearing masks and are pretending like the mandates that the general public has been going through since March are beneath them. This will not garner sympathy towards their cause and will only make Manfred look like the good guy.

Although situations like what happened last Sunday with the Marlins playing despite the positive tests is absolutely a failure by MLB ownership, because it's not supposed to be up to the players with something like this.

https://twitter.com/chandler_rome/status/1289692353670742016?s=21 In any other season this would probably cause me some panic, but I say bring it the gently caress on because this season is meaningless and we might as well try out some new arms while we wait for the whole thing to be cancelled. gently caress it, call Whitley up now. I don’t care how bad he’ll be, it’s PROSPECTS SEASON now.

Oh hey, remember when we were talking about how garbage RBIs are? I love Max, but do yourselves a favor and check out the br pages on these two, it shows exactly how misleading counting stats can be. I dunno how to get the last 162 games, but Judge had to be something like 20 to 30 points of OPS+ better over that same span. Also, I know you posted that for the fun of it, IcePhoenix, not to make any serious argument. This really just reminded me how great Judge is.

Angels had a sweet comeback win after blowing the lead in the top of the 9th to take their record from worst in baseball to barely bottom 10, securing the same lovely draft pick number they always end up with. They'll draft a toolsy highschool outfielder.

It's not like the Angels have ever gotten anyone worth a drat in, say, the late 20s of the first round

Yeah if you click through, people in the comments were pointing out that Judge's OBP is like 50 points higher so I would assume the OPS+ is about that different. Kepler probably plays better defense though
