This is exactly why MLB never caves on blackout restrictions.

 

if it keeps me from having to use other...shady streaming services or screwing around with different VPN providers, or paying a stupid amount for legit tv streams then it's fine with me. They just need to move it along.

So the owners are bad because they have a handle on the profitability level of different numbers of games played?

Huh?

Haha. No owners are bad because they aren’t negotiating in good faith based on contracts they gave out, based on 162 game season.

So when a CBA expires, they are supposed to just accept whatever the players want to avoid losing any games, otherwise they are not negotiating in good faith?

Completely ridiculous.

If my 9 year old son weren't in love with the game of baseball I'd be done with MLB.

Nobody listened when I said to stop having children.

what does 'negotiating in good faith' mean?

[ScottT]

Owners are bad because they have more money.  Manfred is bad because he is a commissioner.

Ha. Beat me to it. People throw that out without any knowledge of what is actually going on.

...and then you summarized it in a way that didn't represent what was said.  So, yes, thank you for proving my point.

No and that’s an asinine thing to take from my post.

Apparently it starts by waiting 43 days to start negotiating….

My refund for spring training tickets is already processing.  Took the Angels 20 minutes to get back to me this morning.  Should be automatic, but you have to email or call them.

So now not negotiating is negotiating?
