The Royals scored five runs in the first inning. They gave up 1 run in the final 8 innings. They lost.

nobody cares about texas tech. it has nothing to do with the school

stop acting like you’re the new texas

[Andrew Doak @AndrewPDoak]

The Texas Tech and Brendan Sorsby outrage is hilarious.

He wagered a total of $850 on Indiana football while redshirting, placed 40 bets ranging from $1-$114, and never bet on a game he played in.

@tipping_pitches why would broadcasters pay to show a game that is also on another network

[Joey Wagner @TheTruthSwagner]

I am SHOCKED at the amount of baseball fans that do not understand the basics of a salary cap system.

For EVERYONE...
1. There is a floor.
2. There is a cap.
3. There is revenue sharing.
4. All teams MUST spend between the cap and floor.

That is all.

calm down karl marx

this is a non-contact sport played to entertain people. the fans should solely be interested in what makes the game better for them

[Tyler ~Bibee's Glasses~ Griffith @tgriffith1992]

The owners have to be loving how much they have the average baseball fan believing that they're the good guys.

Players are the labor. End of story. Support labor always. Just because you're too dumb to understand economies of scale doesn't change that.

[Brewer Sooner @BrewerSooner]

This is how they want MLB to operate BTW

[Mr. Ferguson @nathan_sass]

here are the facts supporting this. The @MLBPA is run by, and for, Boras and his ilk.

I see we are in the “lying to the public” stage of the negotiations

[Bob Nightengale @BNightengale]

MLBPA interim executive director Bruce Meyer says that the players would actually be taking a $500 million paycut if they accepted MLB's salary cap proposal, and reiterated that they will never agree to a salary cap.

[Handre @Handre]

There you go.

[p @pt_03_]

@Boomskie Love the idea that all guys on smaller market teams are held hostage until free agency. because there are definitely 0 active HOF players on either Cleveland or KC 🙄

[p @pt_03_]

@TJStats player compensation would go up significantly in the owners proposal

[Dylan Short @dylanxshort]

Going further: they don't care about the other players. 85% of players would benefit from the proposed floor and wouldn't be affected by a cap.

[michael bode @michaelgbode]

Reminder: MLB players are not your friends

They are going to hammer home that a floor is what the fans want to even the playing field. Don't let this fool you; these millionaires couldn't care less. It is about maximizing contracts. Always has been.

[Matt Menerey @MenereyM]

@BNightengale And 17 through 30 payrolls have to increase from $1.6b to $2.4b. Total player money is actually $6b compared to $5.5b but you know, full picture and facts are hard

[Dylan Short @dylanxshort]

Eagerly awaiting hearing from players how a owners offering a 50/50 split and a 170+m floor is taking all the money from the pockets of every player and would ruin the game forever, and how the answer is just forcing every team to spend a billion dollars

[p @pt_03_]

as a royals fan, I am so excited for the day our best player signs with one of these teams because we can’t afford to pay him $70m a year in a league that doesn’t have a cap

[Rational Yankees Fan @rationalyankee]

Couldn’t disagree with this more.

Take this number for what it’s worth, but Grok estimates that around 60 percent of MLB fans root for a team that is in the top-10 in payroll this season. All those teams have luxury tax payrolls above $230M.

A salary cap does not benefit those teams. It might benefit the owners of those teams financially, but it doesn’t help those teams win.

The majority of fans root for teams that would be hurt by a cap. Saying a salary cap creates a better fan experience is not true for most baseball fans.

[Thomas Nestico @TJStats]

Reminder: MLB Owners are not your friends

They are going to hammer home that a cap is what the fans want to even the playing field. Don’t let this fool you; these billionaires couldn’t care less about what you or I think. It’s all about maximizing profits. It always has been.
