As expected, MLB is expected to announce a delay to the start of Spring Training as early as Thursday. Financial pressure of that starts as soon as games with fans are lost.

By saying this, Manfred is trying to make the owners the victims.

I think it means anyone following the CBA negotiations at all expected spring training to get delayed.07ag said:"As expected, MLB is expected" what does that even mean? i expect this guy doesn't actually know anything and is expecting to expect more clicks to his social media, expecting expectations to increaseFarmer1906 said:As expected, MLB is expected to announce a delay to the start of Spring Training as early as Thursday.

At this point a delay in the regular season seems inevitable.
I'd put the over/under at 120 games played

I hope baseball returns soon because they will have my money as always... but I also hope that IF games are missed, both the owners and players pay a heavy price for their stupidity.
I love Texas Aggie sports, but I love Texas A&M more.
Yep. They already had a "lost season" IMO with 2020. So having 2 in 3 years is a bad bad look
Damn...Odor has gained some weight!!
I know the players haven't heard jack about the season. Basically just get a weekly update every week saying no progress has been made.
MLB and the players better get this **** figured out quick. messing up my summer already and its still winter.

Also, there will be a draft lottery and no draft compensation for free agents, which affected teams signing free agents offered a qualifying offer.

Zach Grienke... The last pitcher to get a hit at his position
Universal DH is a good move
@lmccullers43 good news, it is official... you are the last pitcher in MLB history ever to record an RBI during the World Series.

How long do you want to ignore this user?
I guess Ohtani batting for himself remains a possibility. With apologies to @BenVerlander. https://t.co/NGuPaiLZuN

always felt like the 'stros were at a bit of a disadvantage in NL parks...since DH is one of the team's significant strengths

I feel you buddy, due to my job when I see "journalists" who can't use the language it ticks me off. Congrats on the 1 year old. Eventually they start sleeping, in another 5 or 6 years.
thanks! bothers me too, but just a personal quirk for me, lol. tbh, we've been pretty lucky with the 1 year old, but she has been in a phase the past few weeks where most nights she'll need a diaper and a hug some random time between midnight and 4amhelloimustbegoing said:07ag said:"As expected, MLB is expected" what does that even mean? i expect this guy doesn't actually know anything and is expecting to expect more clicks to his social media, expecting expectations to increaseFarmer1906 said:As expected, MLB is expected to announce a delay to the start of Spring Training as early as Thursday.

It's kind of funny to think back to this board 10 years ago and how much the idea of a universal DH was loathed here. Most considered themselves traditionalists/purists. That's because we all grew up watching the NL but the DH has been a good change. I'd rather watch Yordan bat than JV any day.tjack16 said:

I 100% did a flip-flop on this.
Deshaies was 33-for-373 in his career for an .088 batting average. All 33 hits were singles. https://t.co/nem0qAKqLb

Honestly I'm torn on the universal DH.
I don't like the universal DH in a sense that it creates different strategies and styles of play across the two leagues. I like the decisions a manager has to make without the DH.
I like the universal DH because it levels the playing field in the WS.

How often are there real tough decisions to make? Most of the time it's a fairly obvious choice to bunt, PH, or leave the pitcher.Ag_07 said:

The statement wasn't that the decision is hard, it was that it has to be made
NL Pitchers as hitters in 2021..

4157-AB
.108-BA
-22-wRC+
45%-K%
That is absolutely horrific lmaoooo I could not be happier that the Universal DH is finally coming to both leagues
These stats are horrendous
I liked the idea of tying the DH to the starting pitcher so you lose the DH when the starter is pulled. Leaves the manager batting/double switch decisions in place late in the game, DH still has a role, and would be a major downside for the use of openers.
Yeah not so much about tough decisions but just about different strategy.
It also trickles down to sac bunts, double switches, etc etc.
Just a different style of play that while I don't prefer it to the AL it's cool to have the difference across the leagues.
