Some people are making sense.   The hate for commissioners has always baffled me.

 

Apparently, this was a skit.

Still agree with Middlebrooks.

Don't tell that IDOIT that thinks negotiating was going exactly as it should. He might start trolling Trout too.

It isn’t resolved yet.  It’s March 2.  The whining about this being still unresolved, like the sky is falling, is hilarious.

I think if anyone really thought this would be super easy with no danger of any games getting missed, they probably were not being realistic.

what date will you admit that you were wrong?  

[ScottT]

If 20-25 games are missed, owners aren't guaranteed tv money.   I'd be surprised if more than that is canceled.

Wrong  about what?

That it is normal and expected for negotiations to have little or no progress early and then heat up to being serious when a real deadline with real consequences are at risk?

I was 100% right.

WTF are you talking about? The real consequence you’re referring to has already  come and gone. 
 

Is it that hard for you to admit you’re a bafoon with absolutely zero comprehension as to how a business operates?

Caramel swirl. 

Don't care.

Fans having emotional tantrums over this not being resolved in March 2 isn’t proof of me being wrong about how we should have expected this kind of negotiation to occur.

You (and others) can pretend otherwise all you want, but sorry your disappointment today doesn’t make me wrong.

Many, even most, normal business negotiations get the most done late, with an actual deadline looming.

The original dispute was specifically the idea that had they just started earlier more would have been accomplished and I said (maybe 100 times) that just isn’t true.

Nothing has changes on that point.

Sorry if you can’t keep the details straight.

And I laugh in your face over the idea I know nothing about how a business operates.  If you only knew.

This really isn't a conversation any more... it's a peeing contest.

No intention of it going that way.  Yeah, I have my strong opinion but it is pretty stupid that people being (clearly) upset about it being unresolved turns into a dishonest “you were wrong” lash out at somebody that simply has a different assessment of how the timeline/pace of normal business negotiations go.

Fucking weird.

Context matters. 

Those were all player strikes. Fans were pissed off at the players, not MLB. If the MLBPA plays this right, they'll have the fans on their side.
