Comissioner Rob Manfred tells me “We are playing. The players need to be better, but I am not a quitter in general and there is no reason to quit now. We have had to be fluid, but it is manageable.”

60 games, full salary, expanded playoffs, playoff revenue for players. 70 days/60 games, small window for rainouts. Player safety priority. Regional games. Season ends late October, early Nov. Are we good? Wins and losses-thats baseball. Let’s play ball!!! We’ve missed you-a lot!

Wow. Jon Lester dealt with cancer and beat it. He pitched for two historic franchises and won World Series with both. His NVRQT acronym for his charity is so symbolic of his DNA and he walks on his own terms. Awesome. Congratulations to Jon Lester.

If MLB has a view that is exclusive to them, that needs to be a part of the explanation for the call being upheld. I did not see one replay which showed Bohm’s foot/toe touch home. Appeared to pop right over the plate

Sources tell me MLB counter proposal today will move towards a season of roughly 70 plus games with a salary percentage on the 80-85 percent of pro rata. Playoff pool bonus. My concern are the recent spikes in COVID -19. Worst case would be to start and stop. Will players move?

It is becoming increasingly apparent that we may not have a Major League season in 2022. Both sides believe they have made significant concessions to the other-each side points at the other as having not done nearly enough. As has been reported, the word of the day is deadlock.

At the Little League World Series the final play of every game is automatically reviewed. Major League Baseball should consider the same. And yes a check swing call-if the final-play should be reviewable.

Immunity to players means no discipline but you punish by removing reward (Title) for cheating. We are so concerned about growing the game/next generation-kids have to know cheating is not a path to winning. I think we all agree Cheating and champions is an unacceptable message

While I believe the Astros title should be stripped, the immunity for players is the result of a negotiated agreement between MLB and the Players Association. Does the MLBPA bear responsibility in agreeing to the immunity and thus similar criticism from players with it?

I have heard from multiple @MLB managers that the pursuit of velocity-to throw a pitch as hard as possible as often as possible with as much spin as possible is going to lead to significant injuries, or worse. Quoting one, “we don’t pitch-we just throw.”
