Ammat The Ankh posted:Fun Fact: apparently Gibson needed glasses Sometime in the mid 80-s I found a biography of him in the elementary school library and it included some old family photos and there was one of Gibson in some full on Poindexter Coke bottle glasses. Funner Fact: Bob Gibson played for the Harlem Globetrotters before making the majors. https://www.cbssports.com/mlb/news/just-because-bob-gibson-basketball-star/

Poque posted:there is literally no way any team is offering $400M to any player ever again after 2020 and the threat of 2021 Now is the winter of our discontent at the number of one year deals being offered, and probably accepted. Between cost cutting, fear of the new CBA, and unknowns for 2021 in general it’s going to be a bloodbath this winter.

MrMojok posted:. This is exactly what they want, and why they want it. It might end up helping some mid-tier free agents, but would absolutely crater the top end. Everyone agrees the playoffs are a crapshoot, why pay for wins 85 to 100 when there’s no added value?

Bip Roberts posted:Also front loading the playoffs with a short series is really annoying if a 105 win team is now two hung sliders from gone. Owners won’t stop swinging till the golden goose is paste. The downward salary pressure is the goal here- tv money is the cherry on top. We’re talking billions of dollars compared to a few hundred million on top for the other round. In 5-10 years when nobody except the degenerates cares about the regular season (Which leads to less investment in the post-season, which leads to...) that’ll be the next guys problem.

bawfuls posted:Contract two teams, move to a fully balanced schedule (27 opponents * 6 games each = 162 games) and play the World Series between the top two teams each year Once things are back to “normal” MLB is going to expand ASAP if for no other reason than the quick infusion of cash. They’ll want to keep some form of interleague though, for the rivalry bullshit at least.
