Someone tell Coach that beating one team he wasn’t expected to beat and losing to ones he’s expected to beat doesn’t give him license to pretend he’s his own boss. #FightOn
Yes, for now. But when the bigger guys figure out the smaller guys are beating them by playing “small ball” (what used to just be known as baseball) those bigger guys will follow suit, and the same gap of inequality will again be loud.
Major League Baseball wants a salary cap and says it's to ensure smaller-market, lower-payroll teams can win in the postseason.
Milwaukee, Cleveland and Tampa Bay are winning without one.

@DanClarkSports Dodgers style of baseball simply got exposed. Their inability to just work the count, hit for contact, get on base & do all of the not so little things most of the league has pushed aside for launch angles and analytics beat them. Kudos to the brewers for reviving actual baseball
@uscpsycho@ChaseRobbie Anyone old enough to remember what we’re supposed to look like when fully firing just can’t fake positivity right now…This is SC.
@NFLonFOX Going for 2 on a play you only needed to kick the extra point for changed the whole game, you then were 8 points down late and in effect made Dak panic down the field thinking ahead of the 6 he needed in case the second 2 was unsuccessful again. A bad head coach hired by a bad GM
He did everything wrong but hoist a USC juice box.
The fact that nobody even tried to stop him is as big of a red flag about our culture as the fact he was acting this way in the first place.
I resigned from Anthropic today. I spent the last three years doing pretraining research at both OpenAI and Anthropic. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives. More thoughts below.
The Yankees won 3 world series in a row. Also 4 out of 5 and it took the greatest closer ever blowing a 9th inning lead vs a four year old franchise not to win 4 in a row and 5 out of 6. Why wasn't baseball ruined then lol.
Three things can be true:
1. Baseball needs a salary floor and a salary cap
2. Cheap owners are ruining the sport
3. The Dodgers exploitation of deferred payments has ruined the sport
Baseball moving forward needs to figure out a fine line between punishing cheap owners and also making the sport more competitive from top to bottom. Every other major sports league in America has a salary cap, and it’s time for MLB to implement one as well
