Why should those things not be considered part of the pie? Would those things exist if it wasn't for the players and the games? Certainly not but this is where the subject gets messy. You can't accredit all of that revenue to the players and they will never agree on what portion of that revenue is accredited to players.
The owners aren't taking that position to level the playing field. The owners are taking that position because they want costs to be much more fixed and planned to help boost franchise valuations.
There's never going to be a salary cap because the owners and players will never agree to what constitutes baseball revenue especially so with the popularity of mixed-use developments around stadiums likely to continue growing.
I just don't think Joey can handle the pressure of the playoffs. He's been so bad every postseason for us. He's back to swinging at anything within a foot of the zone. He had two plays at 3B tonight both routine and both times he threw the ball in the dirt at 1B.
Yeah I really don't like the Hicks AB looking back at it. 5 straight sinkers all middle or away. Need to change it up whether that's a breaking ball or coming inside with a sinker. Can't throw 5 straight sinkers all to the same area and not expect to give up hard contact.
Anyone else really dislike this strategy? Feel like 3 outs away from winning the WS with the tying run on 1B you should not be trying to pitch to contact.
Don't think I'd go that far but it definitely wasn't great. JoJo, Hall, and Megill should all be full go tomorrow. Ashby and Uribe both likely available for an inning. We are starting our SP on 4 days rest compared to Tampa's 3.
Feel like Murphy's short sighted pitching management earlier in the game came back to bite us in the 12th. Only using JoJo for 3 outs and only using Megill for 1 out both in tie game scenarios.
