History and all, eh? Nothing they haven’t done before. Baseball Labor Issues Trivia: Who won the 1994 World Series?

This bargaining agreement won’t come quickly, won’t be easy and won’t leave the sport undamaged.

They can stay out until July for all I care. Hell, skip the entire season.

I don't know what I'll do without 19 nationally-televised Yankees-Red Sox games that last 4 hours, but I'll think of something.

MLB owners were trying to role back gains made by a union in 1994. That is the level of issue any union will strike over.

There is just nothing substantive like that in this CBA renegotiation.

Maybe I'm wrong but I still don't think we'll see a major delay. They know ST is too long anyway, so they are happy to use a portion of it as the sacrifice to get the deal done, imo.

At least I hope so. I'm ready for a "normal" year of sports.

With ESPN Plus I've got all the college baseball and softball I can handle. Then when MiLB starts up I can get my live baseball fix down at Huntington Park. FUCK the MLB Owners and Players Union

One thing that impressed me about Votto when he's got it going is he hits it everywhere. Of course when he's derp city it doesn't matter.

Pitchers are good enough to make you hit it where they want if you are dumb enough to let them by not swinging at your pitches instead of theirs, ala Ted Williams. He'd rather take a perfect called 3rd strike than hit into a DP on a bad pitch. That's why there is only one Ted Williams.
