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.
From me. Members of the site can gift articles for others to read. You can share the link with others as well. Don't think it has a click limit but I think it has a time limit. I think the link is good for two weeks so through 10/28.
Hall also saved it by no letting it spiral further. Maybe the Brewers still get to 6 runs either way but that's a much different game entering the top of the 7th if it's 3-1 or 4-1 Dodgers.
I'm linking a gift article link so even if you don't have a fangraphs subscription you can read it.

Which feels kind of silly. Like Triolo graded out as a pretty much average defender this year and he played 27 innings at 1B, 80 innings at 2B, and 25 innings in the OF. Feels silly to value those 132 innings so highly.
Matthew Wood has a .692 OBP with 6 BB to 0 SO through his first 3 games in Arizona. I was a bit surprised to see him sent to Arizona in part because I thought he was too advanced of a prospect to be there. Part of me wonders if it's intended to try and stir up some trade interest in him.
I really just don't think this is true. The #1 play on the Top 10 today was a Wisconsin volleyball play if you're trying to imply there's some anti-Wisconsin/small market bias.
