[sarcasm]I wish the Brewers had an owner like this:[/sarcasm]

 

Yeah that's going to go over real well with his players. Makes you appreciate Mark A, Stearns, etc and how well they run the Brewers.

 

For real, say what you want about the spending...we could have the Rockies, Pirates, Marlins, etc owners...and now obviously Mets. Big Yikes.

Maybe they should fire their hitting coach again.

 

I completely forgot they did that. How many times do you have to fire a hitting coach to get the team to hit is now the question.

 

It's interesting that the Brewers' management did the complete opposite by giving Haines a vote of confidence rather than blame when the offense was last in the league. It's hard to argue with the results of that decision.

Rockies now have the 2nd best home record in baseball….

 

That 14-45 road record, though.

 

Colorado should be drafting Top 5 with Baltimore, Arizona, Pittsburgh & Texas, but they won too many games at home so they would be drafting 10th if the season ended today.

 

Front office can't even lose right.

The Rockies appear to have so successfully created a team built to win at Coors that they're truly terrible at winning anyplace else. Bewildering.

 

The Brewers on the other hand are doing a much better job of winning just about every other place then AFF…..lol.

 

But I guess when you are over .500 at home and dominant on the road that works out ok….:)

Fine with me. But there should be a cap also. Either that or revenue sharing increases because you just cannot keep having the differences you do across the board with resources.

"This is a very simple game. You throw the ball, you catch the ball, you hit the ball. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, sometimes it rains." Think about that for a while.

And lowering the luxury-tax threshold from $210 to $180. 7 teams are currently under $100 and 9 teams are over $180.

The MLBPA will also need to approve this but I don't see why they wouldn't. $100m minimum salary cap with the tax starting at $180 seems fine to me and actually rather aggressive by MLB but you never know with MLBPA what they will do. I could definitely see the MLBPA wanting a higher ceiling on the tax and also wanting to know what happens to teams that don't meet the minimum salary. The penalties for not meeting the minimum are unknown at this time. Should make for an interesting off season if the minimum is implemented but unknown also on when that minimum would start.

I laugh at the Padres because I knew their empty the minors + spend $200 million strategy would never work, but it is really bad for MLB if the Padres flop and miss the playoffs given the huge fan interest and support in San Diego. Tatis is going to end up stuck on a perennial loser like Mike Trout. It's very bad for the sport.

The article says they won’t approve it……

 

It's only August. There's going to be a ton of back and forth before anything gets anywhere. There's no way anything either side is offering at this point is a final offer. Also worth noting, any labor fight is a bit of a 3 sided fight. Big market owners vs small market owners vs players...a different dynamic than sports with a hard cap.

Not terribly inaccurate, but it's like this guy made a bad call at the most opportune times to help the Cardinals multiple times this game. I'll again go back to, umpires need to stop throwing players out of baseballs games. At least 95% of ejections should not happen in my opinion. These grown men are the most sensitive bunch of ninnies to ever walk the planet. In this case, this umpire screws up so bad in a critical point in the game...gets called out for screwing up...and gets to eject the player that called out his screw up. It's maddeningly backwards. In reality that umpire should get ejected from the game for being such trash, or his pay for the day should be cut in half. Something.

 

Robo umps please and thank you.

Everybody knows the Cards were getting the corners because Yadi was framing the pitches and saying who-knows-what to the umpire when he didn't get the calls. It's total BS, but part of me has to tip my cap for how effective Yadi is at controlling the game...

 

As Nick Castellanos said: "That guy could punch me in the face and I'd still ask him for a signed jersey."

The Narvaez one he didn't even frame it as Yadi had to reach back out to actually catch it. That one was on the umpire.
