The second the Brewers chose to sit out I thought "I wonder how Rob Manfred is going to screw this up" and sure enough, my guy delivers in spades.

There is a special beauty to the GM of the Mets saying "this can't leave the room" as he sits in front of a camera, but it's superseded by Manfred's inane idea and just the blatant lack of respect for him.

This atrocity feels weirdly normal. I guess that's the joke.

Now Brodie statement says he misunderstood, it was actually Jeff Wilpon (not Manfred) who pitched the one-hour delay idea. So this is becoming more Metsy by the hour

The Mets credited Miguel Rojas with the 42-second idea

lol, of course this got screwed up.

I feel like we're falling into this weird dystopia and nothing makes sense and everyone in charge of everything is a complete idiot.

Maybe I'm getting old or something, but what the Hell happened to basic competence?

That was actually pretty powerful.

I know we have a long way to go, but it's nice to see how far we've come.

Is this the future for baseball? Obviously gonna suck if a team makes it and gets home field advantage, but I guess that can happen in the Super Bowl too. Not sure playing in cold cities in October is worth it anymore.

I think neutral field playoffs could happen and they could rotate to dome or warm weather cities just like the SB does.

So the dodgers are gonna go like 45-15 and then play some under .500 team and not even get home games.

They have a better record on the road this season. Funny that a lot of teams seem to have a better road record, guess no fans influence that.
