Watching the 30 for 30 now, they just started the intro of Sammy being interviewed. The stained glass mural he has behind him has what looks like him with a white face.
Sammy wth man?! When did he go crazy

Rob Manfred might be catching all the **** right now, but he's a glorified mouthpiece for the owners.

We’re not going to see normalcy in MLB until 2023. Wouldn’t be surprised if the owners try to lock them out in 2021 in hopes of hoping the mlbpa gets desperate and folds the longer players go without getting checks. I hope this sees its way to an arbitrator though. It’s despicable how the owners have went about stuff.
How Manfred (the owners puppet) keeps trying to frame it as “the owners are 100% committed to having a season this year” without including that this applies only if it’s 100% on their terms is an insult to the intelligence of anyone with half a brain.
In terms of winning the fans back, there’s not going to be a steroid era/home run chase to bail them out this time.

Manfred is the worst, like really. Forgot how bad he was.
30 for 30 was cool, definitely could have been better but I’m not mad at it.
I didn’t realize that Chicago hadn’t invited Sosa back which is foul and they need to fix that ASAP. STL did the right thing with having McGwire in their HOF.
Sosa’s numbers were stupid
Didn’t they say Babe Ruth would have had like 80+ one season but they didn’t count hitting the foul pole as HRs or they didn’t have foul poles.

Also, all we need to know about MLB is that there are anywhere from 5-10 owners that don't want to even play this year because it would be a better option for their business. That's basically leaked in several outlets.
Maybe I am naive, but can we honestly picture NBA and NFL owners being in that situation, and financially passing on any sort of season? (I'm not talking about this year, I'm saying any year).
These "small market" teams will always play up that they are basically minor league teams and can't compete with the big boys 90% of the time....and it brings down the entire league. And that is the league's own fault.

What a shame. For weeks now I've come to personal terms that we won't be getting baseball this year. I'm mentally over it. Here's to a (hopeful) fresh, on-time restart in 2021.

I was hoping for some baseball this season.
Giants could've had a chance lmao.
But really, at this point, I would like to hope for a full-season in 2021. The risk of the virus spiking around Playoffs. Then, what?

Not surprised. Viewership and attendance is down, owners are greedy, teams/players cheat, on-field product on the decline.
This could be good for the game if it demands and produces a little bit of reform.
If not, yikes.

Possibly dumb question: is the CBA still valid? Im guessing there’s no pandemic clause, but wouldn’t both sides be under breach of contract?
Kurkjian and Olney brought up a point Clark is baiting the owners with the “tell us when and where” as soon as they set something the union will hit them with a grievance and take it to court. Both sides dirty

SNY's Mets booth ranked No. 1 in MLB
In a survey of 6,200 readers of The Athletic that ranked the TV booth for all 30 MLB teams, SNY's Mets booth of Gary Cohen, Keith Hernandez, Ron Darling, and Steve Gelbs came out on top.

In a survey of 6,200 readers of The Athletic that ranked the TV booth for all 30 MLB teams, SNY's Mets booth of Gary Cohen, Keith Hernandez, Ron Darling, and Steve Gelbs came out on top.
The broadcasts were ranked on a "1-5 scale in terms of play-by-play, color analyst, field reporting, pre- and postgame shows and technical quality."
Here's what The Athletic had to say about the SNY booth:
The trio of Cohen, Hernandez and Darling has anchored SNY's coverage of the Mets since the networks' inception in '06. The Mets edged the Giants for top spot in our rankings (4.91 to 4.8
in large part because of Cohen (4.96), who anchors baseball's best booth and earned top marks in the play-by-play category. "GKR" is on top for a reason: "Being a Mets fan is a tough lot in life, but one thing we've got going for us is Gary, Keith and Ron," wrote one respondent. "It's a golden age for us." The consensus is Hernandez (hitters) and Darling (pitchers) are best when it comes to explaining "the mindsets of their respective positions, and Gary ties it all together seamlessly." The three seems to strike a perfect chord of what fans want: Knowledge of the game, history of the team, camaraderie in the booth and enough wit sprinkled in to make it all work. I still think Cohen's call of Bartolo Colon's first career homer is easily one of the most fun calls in recent memory.
stop it ... YES because i'm a Yankee fan ... but, stop it ...
