@Owl_Bob_ @MichaelaB_22 However there's a WHOOOOOOLE bunch of case law since 1972 regarding the NBA, NFL, and NHL in regards to labor anti-trust in professional sports. The only reason MLB hadn't followed the case law is because congress hadn't passed a law.

Congress passed a law.

[Baseball's Not Dead @dead_baseball]

@Owl_Bob_ @MichaelaB_22 The Supreme Court ruled in the Curt Flood case in 1972 that since Congress hadn't passed a law to overrule the 1922 Federal League v National League, they wouldn't overrule precedence.

Congress later passed a law.

[Baseball's Not Dead @dead_baseball]

@Owl_Bob_ @MichaelaB_22 Look up the Curt Flood Act of 1998.

Might wanna do YOUR homework over.

@CBKimbrell @BarelyTrying92 So the product available on the shelf is 10% more expensive due to tariffs...

[Baseball's Not Dead @dead_baseball]

Makes sense because based on copyright claims in the last two years it's clear MLB Advanced Media has been replacing employees with AI.

[Evan Drellich @EvanDrellich]

News: In what appears to be a first for a major sports league in the U.S., a group of workers inside the commissioner’s office at Major League Baseball has unionized.

@erat_perfect @fintechjunkie You underestimate how many people would turn to payday loans, rent to own plans, refinancing, and other methods to get money that are more predatory than credit cards.

[Baseball's Not Dead @dead_baseball]

@kylebittner9 @MarkVance6 @MiniMegal They still gave players on 40-man rosters credit for games missed in 1994. It's why the Mariners lost a season of team control for ARod.

@DSzymborski These guys should be pitchers because they POUND the zone.

[Baseball's Not Dead @dead_baseball]

@DrewFisonfire17 I don't know if Made has better range. Their range factors in the minors at SS are 3.61 for Made and 3.68 for Pratt. Pratt also has a MUCH better fielding percentage at .977 versus .951 meaning Pratt gets to slightly more balls in play and performs better on balls he gets to.

[Baseball's Not Dead @dead_baseball]

I'm sorry but anyone who says Pratt should move from SS to 1B because he's tall fundamentally doesn't understand baseball.

[S. KEBASU🧢 🇰🇪🇺🇸 @Shadrackc0ps]

Cooper Pratt's future is an exciting puzzle. In my view Moving the 6’4” shortstop to 1B maximizes his frame, but FanGraphs suggests keeping him at short best uses his great natural skills. In your view which position fits best this player? Source:https://t.co/yls9c0lB7s

[Baseball's Not Dead @dead_baseball]

@iLikeSeanDaily Made has the body type of Miguel Cabrera. I doubt he sticks at SS.

[Baseball's Not Dead @dead_baseball]

@GreenGi37474670 @tgags123HD Pratt is a better defender than Made.

[Baseball's Not Dead @dead_baseball]

@AndrewPetcash @RossChaifetz "it's how long the games have become with TV breaks, replays, halftimes, etc"

NFL games have taken the exact same amount of time for the past 50+ years.

[Baseball's Not Dead @dead_baseball]

I watched the 2021 World Chess Championship match between Magnus Carlsen and Ian Nepomniachtchi. It was 19 days long and I kept track and there was only 3 minutes of actual chess action (when they actually move the pieces).

"If you sit down to watch soccer for 45 minutes, you've watched 45 minutes of soccer"

This guy has a point. If you sit down to watch baseball for 45 minutes, you haven't watched 45 minutes of soccer.

[Charles Erb @charlescerb]

For all I love my American sports, this drives me absolutely crazy.

If you sit down and watch soccer for 45 minutes, you've watched 45 minutes of soccer.

That's not true of our sports at all.

[Baseball's Not Dead @dead_baseball]

Somebody hire this man.

[Dominic Cotroneo @Dom_Cotroneo]

Good morning!

I’m writing to share I’m testing free agency for the offseason.

I’ve left WTMJ on my own accord. This was 100% my decision.

My content for the offseason can be found on YouTube and I will still host Brewers and MLB content there too.

[Baseball's Not Dead @dead_baseball]

@coach_turnage @petesmolin @NFHS_Org @CIFSS @scfafootball Did that AI really say that in the NFL if a QB kneels it the play isn't dead?

[Baseball's Not Dead @dead_baseball]

@ThaOfficialTJ Huh?

[Baseball's Not Dead @dead_baseball]

It's really a miracle that the Brewers never had the worst record in baseball considering how many bad years they had in the 70s, 90s, and early 00s.

[Extra @extrastats]

Has your favorite team finished a season with their league's best record, worst record, and perfectly .500?

[Baseball's Not Dead @dead_baseball]

@infl_jm @grantstern What specific county are you talking about?

[Baseball's Not Dead @dead_baseball]

@infl_jm @grantstern Yes, that's how they have to use the money. However, if there's less money available to cover what those things cost now, they're going to have to make cuts in those things.
