The funny part is if he'd be willing to go the other way he could drop a hard bunt or chipper pay 3rd and have a chance at a double if it goes to the outfield.

He's probably still hurt about this:
Is editing a thing anymore? One of the times he writes "shifts" he mistakenly writes ****s

Given the number of strikeouts and unwillingness to just go for a hit, you could probably pull the fielders off if the field and he would still have an issue hitting .250.
Having the guy who struck out 213 times last year proclaim that he doesn't understand how he's supposed to hit is pretty fantastic.3B Paul 97 said:

Gallo is an idiot. He's already on record that he thinks his best value is not to change his approach and to hit HRs. He refuses to change.

They can't even afford to cut the grass, it seems. Tough times for the rich and privileged...
I love Texas Aggie sports, but I love Texas A&M more.
I was there for the Bagwell cycle as well and it is my favorite regular season moment at MMP.
You could stump a lot of people with the trivia question that Andujar Cedeno once hit for the cycle.EastCoastAgNc said:July 18, 2001: Jeff Bagwell hits for the cycle against St. Louis.

Thought I needed to clean out my ears watching that clip, but the Cardinals did in fact have 38-year-old Bobby Bonilla playing left field in that game.
were the Mets still paying him at the time as well?

Meetings are done. Progress was minimal. There are four days left for MLB and the MLBPA to get a new labor deal or regular-season games are going to be canceled. They've had four days to move and there's been next to nothing -- just incremental. And that's that.

What a joke

I rather rehash the Josh Reddick vs Kyle Tucker debate

Do not believe the lie that baseball teams are not extremely profitable ventures. They are. And the financials of the Atlanta Braves, as @EricFisherSBG noted, illustrate that. A $104 million profit in 2021. A $6 million-per-game revenue stream. As a business, baseball is superb. pic.twitter.com/OXlMCdOKNn

Not saying baseball ownership is a losing venture. But taking the world series champions and basically implying that they're the norm for all of baseball is stupid.
That number isn't even correct… they had a $104M adjusted EBITDA. Depreciation and Amortization are real costs as well. They're not cash costs this period but they represent cash spent in a prior period.
Really they've had $51M in EBITDA combined over the last two years, 104 this year, ($53) last year. On a payroll of $153 last year (ranked 11th). Looking at income they've lost $90M. One additional "star" player on a $25M contract and it'd have been a break-even venture the past two years BEFORE accounting for investment or capex.
Those financials don't show what he thinks they do. It may not be a bad investment, but let's not pretend owners have extra mega-contracts to hand out everywhere. If the Braves were top 6-7 payroll spenders, even their EBITDA would have been in the red.

Dude I know, totally thats ridiculous!
But really I get the gist but no clue about the details you just said
EBITDA - Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization.
Capital expenditures (CapEx) are funds used by a company to acquire, upgrade, and maintain physical assets such as property, plants, buildings, technology, or equipment.

Freeman & Correa tweets the last few days. Why are there FA signing rumblings when there is no deal? Are they getting closer than they're letting on? We're very close to missing games and the players and owners start losing money.

Why do I sense it just makes it worse with him there
Commissioner Rob Manfred, who has been in Jupiter, Fla., all week, joins the negotiations in person for the first time today. Three days remain before MLB says a deal must be struck to avoid delaying the start of the regular season. https://t.co/LaUFwe52Wj

Maybe I'm naive but shouldn't the commissioner be in most/all of these meetings if they are of any importance to the owners?CFTXAG10 said:

Selig is why we are in this environment to begin with. He ushered in the owner-dominated CBA era since the last work stoppage.
