Guess we will have to be satisfied with either or.

Waco Kid will not be satisfied with more canceled games.

Didn't think so. If I run across him in Hico, I will buy lunch and get an extensive interview.

He's renowned for the opinionated hills he will die on.

Has the Crawler been on lately. Have not seen him and wonder if he and others may have been locked out as I was?

MLB really wants expanded playoffs so I think they will be more flexible today. That way they can still get in a full season, which the players have said is necessary for an expanded playoffs this season. The question is, will they be flexible enough for the players?

Buckle up for a long day with a lot of back and forth proposals.

12 is already expanded though, and many would say too much. I haven't seen anyone that thinks a 14 team postseason is a good thing.

Definitely too much. I never liked it going to 10 a few years ago.

Yeah, I just meant the only way they could expand the playoffs at all in 2022 would probably be to get a deal done today. If they don't agree today, the earliest would be 2023 that they could go to 12.

agree to maintaining the existing playoff set-up for 2022 and then expanding it to 12 teams in the following years

Jeff Wilson on Josh Jung at spring training.

"The injured shoulder is being protected by a massive sling that holds his arm in place near his hip. Jung said he has to wear it for two more weeks, and then for two weeks after that when around large crowds."

"He’s not quite ready to talk formally to the media, and it’s not like he’s going anywhere. But he was present on a few different back fields Monday, with much of his time spent talking to whichever Rangers personnel would lend him their ear."

"Jung spent time talking to fellow prospect Justin Foscue, who is nursing a sore lower back and is taking a few days off. Foscue also watched the workout and did some shagging in the outfield."
