''The last 5 years have been very difficult on revenues given the pandemic.'' - Rob Manfred

??!?!?!

2 years is now 5 years apparently. And they did everything in their power in 2020 to screw over the players by making the same garbage offer 10 different ways, resulting in only 60 games because that is all, they claimed, they could afford.

Rob Manfred crusade to kill the game I love is going strong. f*** that guy.

He's the worst. Just one bad thing after another with this guy.

He's writing the book "How to Kill a Sport: 101" right before our eyes.

 

[Filthy Dangles]

Wonder what scores Robbie shoots, Jupiter is a hotbed for golf

 

[Terry Yake]

Manfred is doing a damn good job of killing the game

He's by far the worst thing to happen to baseball in a long time

 

[mundyc3]

Cheap owners ruin the game. Minimum team salary and higher luxury tax thresholds are something that players want. It isn't all owners that are against it. It is the worthless owners of middling teams that see profit far more important than winning or building a legacy.

So first two series being roughly a week.

Next deadline not that far away

[John Price]

lmao

 

[BMOK33]

I assume they'll likely redo the entire schedule right? Even if you start 4/20 or 5/1 you'd have a huge imbalance in play within some divisions

Manfred came to the podium smilling and chuckled.

What an arrogant ass.

This is what happens you have corporate stooges running sports leagues and not guys who are fans or played the actual game.

[Halladay]

No one should be suprised by their actions in 2020.

 

[NextBigThing]

Why is everyone blaming Manfred/the Owners? The players deserve more of the blame imo. players should just shut up and play. Half of them aren't even good enough for the big leagues.

Ooof this certainly is an opinion.

If this is what you really believe, you should still be blaming Manfred and the owners for having double the number of teams there should be.

 

[Sniper99]

God forbid he watches college football and gets some ideas from its pathetic new OT rules

No, we dont need that, bad enough hes got the runner on 2nd to start extras in. Sorry if you like church league slo-pitch, than thats probably for you. I dont mind if a game goes 15-16 innings. Real baseball.

This post was meant to do one thing and one thing only. Nice try though.

 

[TheTotalPackage]

Not that anyone believes Manclown, but the proof is in the pudding. What an ignoramus.

Braves are the only team whos finances are available and they totaled over $100 million in cashflow last year.

I'll assume you are really young and haven't held a legit job yet.
