CBA Musings (12/17): What’s Happening and What’s Next?

Quote

Too bad back has to be against the wall to get anything done.

Why should these people be any different than our elected officials in Washington.

Remember manfreds letter to the fans ...

We owe it to the fans to get a quick resolution to the new agreement ...

What a crock .....

Does he think that baseball fans are stupid ... he writes a letter to the fans and then eats his words ...

We need a more neutral commissioner that doesn't work directly for the owners ...

Manfred has no passion for todays game or even the history of the game ... 

That's proven with all his stupid new baseball rules to speed up the game , rules that take away strategy during the game ...

IMO it doesn't speed the game up enough to change rules , now adding DH to national league will add time to those games ...

What a crock ...

Let's play two

Who do you propose hires this person?

Owners appoint a commissioner,,, in the beginning it used to be a president for both leagues , then after the black Sox scandal I believe they were ousted and the commissioner office was formed for the integrity of the game  ..

Todays commissioner works exclusively for the owners .. Selig was more subtle  but Manfred has not ,,, Vincent was the last commissioner that was neutral for the office of commissioner  ,  , 

He should stay neutral between the owners and players and hash out an agreement for everyone's benefit  ....

If the commissioner was more neutral we might not have had such a problem with steroids , but the steroid era was exciting and the commissioner knew what was going on but didn't put a stop to it soon enough because it generated fans interest  and lots of revenue for the owners  , so the steriods era puts a tarnish on records that were broken ....

IMO ....

Hank Aaron is still the leader in homeruns  ,,,, no I won't get over it
