But these youngsters are not happy with the relatively low pay for their quality output at a time when their own union has set the rules, with the owners, against them. Technically, all this does is allow the club to set the pay rate at whatever they want as long as the rate meets or exceeds the league minimum. We have high-quality pre-arb players refusing to sign their 2016 contract offers from their ballclubs, as a means of symbolic protest. It looks like we have a new cause, and just in time for CBA chit chat. Considering that baseball is a game of fail, that is hardly revolutionary.Īir Support: Hey, ump! What did you do when a flock of seagulls invaded the stadium during a Pirates-Astros spring training game? "I ran.". Put all these players onto all these teams and play out this upcoming season 100 times, with the same ages and injuries and everything, and most of the time the Royals don't even make the playoffs. They define what would happen if that same coin is to be flipped a hundred times. Statistics don't define what will happen for any given toss of the coin. We fans of LAA kind of understand, having watched our team outpace PECOTA year after year after year. Unclear on the Concept: People really want to struggle with the idea that statistics struggle with the success of the Royals. But I wonder about unintended consequences, such a the backup taking a dive in order to get the starter back into the lineup. I like the intent, and I love out-of-the-box thinking. It would allow for situations when a catcher, having been pulled from the game for whatever reason, could re-enter the game later due to certain circumstances. Clearly.įresh Take: Since we are talking about changes to the MLB rule book, why not go whole hog? The Sports Quotient suggest something beyond radical, but which makes a hell of a lot of sense. Which clearly has been solved by adding more rules and confusion to the MLB rule book. Something about the MLB rule book being too confusing at the time of Utley's slide.
The Chase is Over: MLB has dropped their plans to suspend Chase Utley in the regular seasons for his take-out slide in the 2015 playoffs. And, really, Clark already has his hands full. And over time, there will be far more folks sharing news and rendering judgment than there have ever been in the past, few of whom will have any reason to worry about whether or not a Tony Clark would allow them to share the sour aroma of used jockstraps. The clubby nature of the relationship between the newsmakers and the information exchange is ending. Thick Skulls & Thin Skins: I have news for MLBPA Chief Tony Clark: he had better get used to the idea that information is going to get published via the Internet with which he - and his constituency - shall be unhappy. investigators.*cough* during the Biogenesis fiasco, I cannot completely dismiss Mejia's accusations. And, unfortunately, after what we learned about the MLB and their *cough*. In his mind, this is because MLB officials were out to get him, and his own Union just rolled. Just because you're paranoid: Jenrry Mejia is banned from Major League Baseball.
