Wonder if these guys are now oil poor

Wish we had this in the MLB.

MLB umpires are probably happy they don't work in the KBO

what a bunch of nasty low down skunks.

this is the middle of a pandemic. Refunds should be optional for families who are hurting.

tone deaf fuckers.

MLB owners to vote on historic revenue-sharing plan amid coronavirus

This would mean a very big percentage of Rangers games being played out west.

 

[Kelleyman]

Alternative viewpoint likely one @Nightcrawler will espouse. Tend to agree but think fans should get a break too

Through the same thing. Ouch

that plan is garbage.

I’d rather not have a season at all if that’s the best they could come up with. Playing no games doesn’t hurt us anyway. The team was going to stink this year regardless. It would get us 1 year closer to getting rid of odor and punish the astros in a way by not letting them compete for a championship.

MLB owners approve plan to start coronavirus-delayed 2020 season: report

I still have a hard time getting excited about this but may change my tune after I see how it all works out.

ESPN to televise South Korea's KBO games

It was fun watching one of the games the other night. Like going to a AA game.

Significant hurdles not only health related but a reduced pay.

Demand is up a tick as some countries start pumping more:

Crude Oil Prices Today | OilPrice.com

As the price goes up the energy industry here gets healthier.

I just think these executives see “half a season” and why pay the $$ for a full season. But as I see it, risk is higher and they should be investing more in the health of the players. Meaning taking that money to aggressively test and sanitize.

So many unknowns IMO. What we do know is owners made billions last 3 years and new CBA is forthcoming.
Hard to say what risk is to all. So much politics in all of this unfortunately from every angle.
I get that people have to work and do hope baseball makes it back this season. Sure don’t want something to backfire and don’t want games for Rangers primarily at West coast times

Not only MLB chomping at the bit to get going. My son is on a summer travel league. His coach is convinced we will have showcase tournament events this summer. They had their first “reduced” practice indoors today.

I wonder why the two Texas teams could not be placed in a different division?

I hope that is bargained for. Sure Fox Sports local would prefer

 

[Kelleyman]

Probably nothing official

 

[Kelleyman]

No real movement. Wonder if some players just sit the season out regardless
