We're already past the time when I most like snow, so if we're going to get anything of significance I really hope it's soon. Lol, you didn’t enjoy February 5th to 10th of 2010?

WmsptWx Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 The day pitchers and catchers report is the day I begin losing interest in snow, outside of anything that may be MECS or HECS. If you show me in April a nor'easter that guidance shows me receiving 20" of snow? Sure, I'm all-in. But once I see footage of baseballs hitting catchers mitts, this T-2" bullshit is just an inconvenience to me. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The owners aren't saints in this, but the players really piss me off to be honest. They want nothing to do with a cap and floor, but they also don't seem to understand a floor means league minimum guys likely make 2 million a year. Sure, you might give up some of the absurd 350 million dollar deals, but more to the minimum guys helps more people. Also, the players could get on my good side by fighting for minor league salaries to be raised, but they have not even tried to lump them in with the union. It surely is rampant greed on both sides, but people tend to forget that this isn't Walmart vs their employees that are making 13/hr....this is the rich vs mega rich so I have a hard time feeling bad for the "poor" players. Honestly, I wish people would spend more time being pissed off at banks and other big corporations rather than being so worried that Mike Trout makes 40 million rather than 30 million. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There isn't a player alive right now, Trout, Acuña, Ohtani, Soto, Seager, Freeman, none of them, who are worth these $250 - 350M over the course of ten years deals just based on the risk for injury alone. It only takes one injury to potentially detonate a player and they'll never be close to what they're being paid and now you're in the back pages of a 300 page document looking for an out because a failed leap to catch a fly ball sent you crashing into the wall (Acuña) and now you're no longer a 40/40 candidate, or a second TJ surgery (Ohtani) has you relegated to DH for half of two seasons and you're finished pitching and have to hope you're able to learn centre field like Rick Ankiel, or your production goes down because they ****ed with the ball again. There's just so much uncertainty that I wouldn't bet on any player I just referenced aside from Trout and to a lesser extent Freeman, to just keep at a pace that dictates such a large deal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My friends and I have been on a ballpark tour over the last few years. Citi Field was up next before the pandemic. I still have $300 worth in tickets to use from 2020 this year before I lose them. Now that I know the price to park, I'll stay in NJ and take the train in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad you agree. Most baseball fans though adamantly disagree. I’ll give you pirates fans as example. They CONSTANTLY want to throw stupid money at people even though these contracts for anyone over 26 or so often are disasters. They wanted to sign cutch to an 8 year 180 million dollar deal 4 years ago. They want to extend Bryan Reynolds, who I think is one of the best OF’ers in the game, to an extension without understanding he will command a 250 million dollar deal. They wanted to give ke’bryan Hayes a Tatis like contract based on 100 plate appearances in 2020. baseball fans are pretty dumb. They think bad owner of they don’t spend stupid money, and yeah some owners are cheap, but all one has to do is look at teams like the Mets, Phillies,rangers, or when San Diego a few years ago tried to buy a good team to see it rarely works.
