I'm a little sad. Seems like a weird concession for the league to make to the players at this time.


Small consolation is that it means Blanton will always be the last pitcher to homer in the World Series.

Again, it seems pretty clear that the MLBPA does not believe they have an agreement. They continue to negotiate. And it seems that both sides leak every single aspect of every single negotiating point.

Unless Ohtani does it. However, what are the chances the opponent throws a pitcher as bad as Andy Sonnanstine?

Maybe it's time to look at independant leagues. Can we dig up the grave of the Camden Riversharks?

If there is baseball in 2020, looks like they are going to use the runner on 2nd rule to start the inning in extra innings

It almost seems like the owners were purposely throwing out garbage proposals in order to stall long enough for Covid or time to make the decision to cancel for them.
