Thanks, MLB, for putting baseball games on Netflix, Prime, Apple TV, Peacock, and The Dildo Channel, pretty much everywhere except the MLB network, because I enjoy paying for shit I can't watch.
You may think this is a ruse to get me to subscribe to all this stuff, when in reality, it just makes me hate baseball.
Well done.
Some announcers squeal and hype like deranged basic training drill sergeants. ๐ฃ
With @TimNeverett itโs like sitting next to your favorite uncle and watching a ball game.๐

A salary cap is cost control. Franchise values are the real jackpot.
If MLB wants โcompetitive balance,โ start with an owner appreciation share: X% of team value growth goes to players/benefits/community.
Cap the windfall, not the wages.
@SCK4068@DodgerFanWeekly@kendallbaker Umโฆ not quite sure what youโre trying to say here but I think the point is if you want competitive balance, maybe just donโt look at the salary aspect. But consider the equity aspect. Turns things on its headโฆ makes a good point.
They essentially took baseball away from poor people and the elderly. Taking Vinny away for several years. But thatโs how they got the big TV deal. Business is business I guess. ๐คทโโ๏ธ
This is so beyond stupid. The Dodgers $8.35 billion TV deal is a major advantage, but the truth is that contract was 100% earned. Thank Walter O'Malley for having the vision to move the Dodgers to the second largest market in America. Thank Vin Scully for being the greatest sports broadcaster to ever live. Thank Sandy Koufax, Tommy Lasorda, Fernando Valenzuela, and so many other Dodgers that captured the imagination of millions and millions of fans. Most of all thank a dedicated fanbase that fell in love with a team and has passionately supported them. That deal wasn't a hand out. The Dodgers earned every single penny of that deal.
