The Lockout Diaries: Week 11

When I read your headline, Nick, the first thought that came to mind was that nothing has happened this week.  They met for a short time last Saturday, then nothing.  Good to hear that they are meeting this weekend, but unless there is some major movement on both sides and a big change in attitude, we will know by Monday whether there is any chance of opening day happening as scheduled.

Hopefully, the minor league kids will get into camp and MiLB will begin as scheduled the first week of April.  Expect the Saints will be a much different team than we expect with lots of AA guys filling in until that dozen or so players on the 40-man are allowed to play.  

Enjoy your vacation!

This work stoppage is a big slap in the face to MLB fans.  It's disgraceful given these difficult times while people are dealing with pandemic and economic hardships.  I've been a fan for 60 years but am very close to giving up on the game.  The state of the game has become a joke as rule changes and over analytics has made the game unwatchable.  Now greedy owners and players are only concerned about how best to line their collective pockets.  The fans?  Well it's time we start realizing that they don't care about them; only how they can squeeze more money out of what has turned into a large video game:. Major League Baseball.
