Pirates finally agree to pay PNC Park workers and lower level club staff. Only took Nutting more pressure than a sealed Coke bottle with a mentos in it to get it done, but that's good regardless.

I have been following the current situation with MLB and the MLBPA. I know MLB wants to resume play but after seeing what the Player's Association is "demanding," it makes them look really bad. I know the league told the PA that no player will get screwed out of pay but as this situation progresses, the PA needs to make concessions and realize the league too, is losing money. I am trying not to spin my head around this so I'll end it here.

I am trying not to spin my head around this so I'll end it here. It's a tough situation. The players would be the ones taking all the risk and sacrifice. Why should they take less pay, risk their health, have to be away from their families for however long the season would end up being just to appease billionaires who are losing an amount of money that won't even put a dent in them? Gerrit Cole should be away from his wife who's going to give birth to a baby in a few weeks? Not see the kid until October or November or risk giving the baby or his wife Corona virus if he does live with them? Baseball isn't going to go out of business and no team will have to shutdown due to the season being cancelled if that were to happen. I'm on the side of the players on this one. It's easy for the league and the owners to try and paint the players in a bad light because "everyone is losing money", but it's the players that would be risking their health and the health of their family. It's real easy to want to put somebody else in that position when they (the owners, league execs) don't have to do it.

It's real easy to want to put somebody else in that position when they (the owners, league execs) don't have to do it. I wanted to wait for more things to develop before I responded to your post. The reason the league wants players to take a pay cut is because of the massive loss of revenue. I read that the longer we wait, the more the league is losing cash. Additionally, I heard MLB could lose up to four billion dollars because of the loss of play and revenue. The players and the Players Association are just too greedy expecting the players to get half of their full salary. This is just going to get uglier the longer this progresses. These players should be glad they have a ton of cash when millions are struggling because of this pandemic.

I'm super psyched for the Red Sox season to start. It's a bummer not having Mookie on the team, but a 60 game season where every game matters is pretty cool.

I have zero feel on who'd win. 60 games is more of a sprint than people realize.
As long as it's not the Astros, I think people would be ok with anyone winning.

With the recent developments going on with MLB, they didn't plan their 60-game season all too well. Playing a 60-game season in a 66-day span left them with little flexibility in the schedule. Bickering back and forth between the league and the Players Association is really biting them in the ass.

Should’ve immediately moved to a Yankees/Orioles series this week, they could’ve played 3 games starting tonight instead of 2 starting tomorrow. Fortunately the way the schedule is set up it makes things a little easier than normal for flexibility. And it’s kind of perfect because next week is scheduled for NYY/BAL and PHI/MIA as the early week series. As long as Philly and Miami are cleared to play they can just swap the series to what it was supposed to be now, NYY/PHI and MIA/BAL.

I guess Joe Kelly should have cheated instead so he wouldn’t get suspended at all.

Hell, the Dodgers manager got more of a punishment from last night for his player’s actions than any player on the Houston Asterisks received for their own actions in cheating in multiple games on their way to a tainted trophy.
