Damn I really should have stuck with baseball.
I dont believe washed up old players who now run their own "hitting coach" services that they run out of someone else's facility...get the same chicks as McCullersSW-14 said:CFTXAG10 said:

It's actually quite an old religion and even quite large
MLB contingent just went to another part of the stadium so looks like a break. No one is leaving in their cars or anything. They talked for about 1:10.

Yes. Still going. https://t.co/37vF2m0V82

We going on 4+ hours now....
No revised CBT proposal today. That’s an area of major importance to both sides.

Does that mean like the top 4-8 picks would be a raffle amongst the bottom 4-8 teams?

This is a fun read:
If you are all lockout-ed-out, may I suggest reading about fake baseball, specifically the "games" that are used as background audio in television shows https://t.co/wRjFjt2Vv4

First meeting of the day between MLB and the MLPBA has ended. Started around 1:20ish, so about an hour. Now, intermission.

Those stone crab claws dont just eat themselves. Gotta have a lunchtime break!

The second meeting between MLB and the MLBPA today was a smaller group meeting, two to a side: lead negotiator Dan Halem and Rockies owner Dick Monfort for the owners; lead negoatior Bruce Meyer and executive subcommittee member Max Scherzer for the players.

On minimum salary that MLBPA proposed today: First year of the CBA remains $775,000. Each subsequent year, it goes up by $30,000 now, instead of $25,000 previously. So it’s now:
— Evan Drellich (@EvanDrellich) February 22, 2022
2022: 775k
2023: 805k
2024: 835k
2025: 865k
2026: 895k
MLB believes players took a step backwards today, bc of proposed raises to the minimum salary. Union saw those increases as a counter-weight to drop in arb eligbility (80 to 75). PA believed its moves to be equivalent in effect to those MLB proposed a day earlier.

It's pretty clear that they are just staring at each other and waiting for the other side to make a large move.

MLB reps staring at Scherzer's eyes and not paying attention to what is being said.

At my youth group for church we watched an inspirational video on this guy and his testimony too as part of the "I am Second" movement.
Hamilton is a complete POS. The dude has been given wayyyy too many chances in his life. Prime example of how addiction can ruin people.
Wait until he releases another book in a few year.s....How Jesus saved my life.....again. He's a total fraud

While I don't doubt he's capable of finding repentance again, I agree he's well beyond the point of being given the benefit of the doubt. He's certainly forfeited any right to have any kind of redemption tour. It's really sad for his kids, they do not deserve this at all.AustinCountyAg said:

McCullers said he is disappointed and frustrated in MLB’s handling of the lockout and keeping players from trainers.
— Michael Schwab (@michaelschwab13) February 23, 2022
He mentioned that during the NHL lockout, injured players will were able to work with team trainers.
You would think there has to be some sort of loophole around this
The real concern here is that if spring training is shortened, Joey Gallo won't have time to get in shape and go after the strikeout record.
JV doesn't look too worried about this lockout mess. Dude is living his best life.

She is really something
That was a surprisingly good interview. I respect Maanav Gupta's hustle. He's kind of guilt-tripped some major athletes into giving him interviews.
After hearing that interview, I don't want to see LMJ on a Minute Maid Park bump until mid May. He can still get in 20 starts that way and be ready for the playoff run. We have enough arms to get by with JV, Framber, Urquidy, Garcia, Odo, Javier, and any rooks we wanna call up (Solomon).

I agree, but he comes off as super slimy and willing to use religion as a quick way to make a buck.
I hope I am wrong and he can finally turn his life around though. That dude has some serious demons in his life.
Five days before the deadline MLB says will postpone regular-season games, here's the gap between the sides in their latest proposals:
— Jeff Passan (@JeffPassan) February 23, 2022
CBT: $31M
Pre-arb bonus pool: $95M
Minimum salary: $135K/player
Draft lottery: 3 picks
That's a lot to cover in less than a week. Like, a lot.
MLB spokesperson said February 28 deadline is firm. If there’s no deal by then, games will be cancelled. Players won’t be player and the games won’t be made up.
— Chelsea Janes (@chelsea_janes) February 23, 2022
MLB applying the pressure
There's no added pressure.
That's always been on the table and look where that's got them. Pretty fkn far apart
