    Easily the Sox. I don't even dislike Cleveland except for their ownership, which has really let down the fans. They should be spending $50m more than they are right now and could be a real powerhouse in the AL. Francisco Lindor is on his way to a 7 fWAR season with the Mets. Had the Guardians signed his extension, their payroll would still be under $120m. Fans should be so pissed at ownership for what they're doing. In comparison, Milwaukee has a payroll over $130m this season. There's no excuse for what Cleveland ownership is doing and has been doing for the past several years.

    Baseball could have maybe pulled this off 20 years ago but hard to see owners doing that now. TV revenue is just too big now. For the owners to pass anything, they need 24 owners to agree. I think they could convince 24 owners of more revenue sharing but hard to see that happening with a single pool of revenue.

    I'd like to see younger players get paid a lot more faster at the expense of massive guaranteed contracts to 30 year old free agents but yes, as currently configured a floor that high could pose a problem.

    I've advocated for a long time that local TV revenue should be shared the same way gate revenue is shared. This has a few effects that I believe improves the sport drastically: 1. Division competitors who play one another a lot receive extra parity. No longer will Tampa be forced to run 40% or less of the Yankees or Red Sox payroll. When they play each other, Tampa gets 50% of the gates in those games. 2. This retains some large market imbalance, which is probably a good thing. The Yankees are simply more popular than the Orioles, having them spend more money is probably the right decision for the sport as a whole. But it closes the gap between large markets and small markets considerably, which is necessary. 3. Doing this would allow the sport to aggressively pursue both a salary cap and floor. Fix the cap and floor as a percentage of total revenue, just like they do in other sports. In this scenario, the floor and cap would still be far apart from one another - say $125m floor and a $250m cap - but that gulf still pales in comparison to what we see right now, which is $60m payrolls going against $275m payrolls.

    My submission for consideration. It's subtle yet effective, IMO.

    I finally watched Moon Knight. It might be my favorite Marvel show thus far. WandaVision and Falcon & Winter Soldier might be better but Moon Knight was exactly what I wanted from the adaptation. Complete and utter lunacy throughout with a very superhero feel to it.

    Between watching the Twins and Brewers mirror each other at nearly every step of the season, I keep coming back to this scene from the Buffy movie. It pretty much nails my viewing experience of this baseball season.

    Super cool that so many are HAPPY to deprive this site and its creators of their sole revenue source. Anybody who brings up specifics about ad blockers is getting warning points. Using a tech workaround to take away 100% of the revenue that literally dozens of people use to keep this site operational is ******, especially because WE OFFER AN AD-FREE VERSION. I'm so ****ing sick of freeloaders, especially ones who boast about how awesome they are for doing it.

    This. All of this.

    First, Johan Santana's career basically ended after he threw 130 pitches in a no-hitter. I chalk that up to a bad coincidence but it has happened before. Second, Joe Ryan has averaged over five innings a start. I'm not sure where you're getting "hardly pitched more than 4.2".
  11. Brock Beauchamp
    Sure, and if you swapped literally the healthiest roster in baseball with the third least healthy roster in baseball, I suspect the records of the two teams would look a little different. It's pretty easy to win when your roster has lost 660 days to the IL. It's a lot harder to win when your roster has lost nearly 2,000 days to the IL. I'm not even defending Rocco here, I'm very frustrated with him and his performance this season... but the Guardians are just above mediocre while having the most fortunate health in all of baseball in 2022. Maybe, just maybe, Rocco would be a "better" manager if the front office stopped trading for injured pitchers.
  12. Brock Beauchamp
    Why are we propping up the Cleveland front office when literally all they needed for about four years was an outfield bat and they failed to pick one up year after year after year? Yeah, they're really good at developing pitching. The team could be a powerhouse if the front office was even a little bit capable of developing a bat and/or the ownership wasn't a cheap dumpster fire. When you step back and take a bird's eye view of the organization, Cleveland isn't that different than Minnesota, they're just the inverse of one another. One develops pitching, the other hitting. Neither does a damned thing in the postseason.
  13. Brock Beauchamp
    To be fair, the players are just flat-out wrong about not voting for the pitch clock at the very least.
  14. Brock Beauchamp
    *blank stare* Are we in the multiverse?
  15. Brock Beauchamp
    And the players voted against everything. Sigh. The MLBPA can't get out of its own way at times.
  16. Brock Beauchamp
    Ding dong, the shift is dead.

    He is not a fast man.

    Hell of a comeback after the Judge homer.
  19. Brock Beauchamp
    Judge is just a beast. What you do is try to contain him and not let him beat you. Solo homers won’t beat you most of the time.
  20. Brock Beauchamp
    Well that was bound to happen.
  21. Brock Beauchamp
    Well that was a generous zone against Correa.
  22. Brock Beauchamp
    The devil is going to be in the details, for sure. I think the most likely solution is to operate as two semi-separate unions with overlapping goals. There are so many instances where MiLB and MLB don't see eye-to-eye that operating as a single entity could be really difficult.

    Holiday weekend. I have no idea what day it is anymore.
  24. Brock Beauchamp
    I don't fault the Twins for being forced to start Varland here in the sense that they've suffered an enormous number of injuries but I'm starting to really question their medical team. Year in and year out, the Twins have gone into September looking like a shell of their April selves. Yes, injuries are way up in baseball but why do the Twins always seem to face other teams still rostering most of their original squad in September and October while the Twins look like the third act of a zombie movie?
  25. Brock Beauchamp
    Making his MLB debut in Yankee Stadium during a September run for the playoffs. I'm going to avoid the heartbreak and skip the game tonight. Godspeed, Mr Varland.
