Baseball is broken and they’re too dumb to see it. Imagine going to a poker game with $50. Another friend has $50. Two others sit down with $500. Now who’s going to be going for the win at the end nine times out of ten?

The players will never accept a salary cap, and the fan bases of once great baseball cities will keep shrinking
Agreed. Baseball is broken. Possibly beyond repair.

There was a Twilight Zone episode about a robot baseball player.

Wrong. Nolan Ryan was the first million dollar man. Look it up.

The Royals season in 2023 last place again:
WL PCT GB Home Away L-10
56-106 .346 31.0 33-48 23-58 6-4
I’ve been there, pretty much every seat had a butt in it. They lost bad this year, again, I would surmise the franchise made money.

Reminder: Tell John J. Sherman of the Royals to look at Kansas boys. I believe there’s three or four out there. Texas too.

In baseball if I hit a double and then steal third base do I have 3 total bases? I got two with the hit. Don’t know.

Thanks. That’s an exception to the general rule.

Apparently there are no shortage of fools who will pay $10 for a hot dog and same for beer. Plus, what, $100 a game ticket and $50 parking?

He will never pitch again, and his ability to hit must be suspect as well.

Knees, BLM and drag queen nuns being honored killed baseball for me.

the fan bases of once great baseball cities will keep shrinking....they know they have zero chance of ever winning.
In the later golden age of baseball, there were plenty of cities with loyal fan bases who showed up even though chances of winning were slim. Boston (AL), Philadelphia (NL), Chicago (both), Detroit. The AL teams got to watch the Yankees run away with it half the time, and that was with only 8 teams in the whole league!
MLB's greed with pay TV for mostly late games kept several whole generations of kids from the exposure necessary to become a fan. The expanded playoffs water-down the regular season product as well.

how about Koufax and Drysdale holing out together.
To: kawhill
a double and a steal gets you 3 total bases. You get 1 more double and 1 more steal on your stats and I believe they also count total bases.

This is peak mammon culture. Only one direction to go from here.
