Mind you, Sports Science already determined that a MLB player would succeed better in Cricket, than a Cricket player in the MLB

Pro cricketer goes up against a retired MLB pitcher throwing soft floaters. It went about how you’d expect. Imagine if the pitcher tried even a little.

Austin Hedges said after the game he didn’t have a problem with Caminero’s celebration.
#Guardians Clubhouse didn’t seem to care. You’re seeing a change in how the game is perceived. Some “old school unwritten” rules are going away. Probably a good thing.

The people who are shouting down a salary cap-and-floor are one of three types of people:
1. Intermediaries who derive their value from agents and players
2. Fans of teams with payrolls in the top-half of baseball who enjoy having more resources as a strategic benefit
3. Stupid
There is no economist or data-informed person advocating for maintaining an inequitable system. It doesn’t matter who wins the World Series this year, or how many different teams have won it over the last 20 years.

I get the logic behind the shorter season. That said, absolutely hate it. One of the best things about baseball is the history / all time stats and milestones. Watching Pujols chase 700 and Judge chase 62 was unbelievable. Cut off 8 games a year and you can kiss that goodbye.

Sample is limited to this year of similar swings. Balls down the line were definitely close calls, but this wasn’t a no doubter.

imagine a country giving you a credit score while it's $40T in debt
BREAKING: The US Government officially posts its largest July budget deficit in history, at -$432 billion, due to an acceleration in federal spending.
Interest on US debt rose +$26 billion from last July's levels to an alarming $118 billion for the month.
This puts total interest expense for FY2026 up to $1.17 trillion in FY2026.
As a result, interest expense has officially surpassed both National Defense and Medicare spending.
In other words, the US government now spends more money just on interest than it does to fund the entire US Military or to provide healthcare for seniors.
We cannot afford higher interest rates.

Every mock for the Pirates involves them overpaying with Seth Hernandez while large market teams are headlining with blocked players.
These buffoons at the national level want you to believe the system is fair when they can’t even cover the sport fairly. GTFOH and #LetsGoBucs

For the first time in All-Star Game history, the game’s top offense won’t have a hitter representing the team. The two pitchers the Pirates sent won’t pitch tonight. Regardless of how your team is doing, why watch if your team’s guy won’t play?

It’s absurd! I love it! #LetsGoBucs

LOL this is dumb. The Marlins made $320 million last season INCLUDING Revenue sharing. Dodgers $850 Million, Yankees $710 Million, Cubs $550 Million, Boston $520 Million, Giants $500 Million. If the lower earning teams tried to go the route of the big spenders, they would be bankrupt within 24 months. This model is not sustainable. Even with the MLBPA proposal, without a cap, the gap just continues to get wider and wider truly only benefitting the large market. Without a Cap, anything agreed on will only be a Band-Aid.

I’m not sure why MLB fans are so stuck on being pro owner/billionaire or pro player/millionaire. Nobody here is a victim, both sides are greedy and want more money. Intentions are obvious and honestly not important to how fans watch the game. Give us better competitive balance.
