MLB is currently in a labor dispute. The owners have put the players in a lockout. Will there be a baseball season in 2022? Or is MLB cancelled?

Ok
rip MLB
I'm good
nah
The Farmville company? Interesting
With the way things are going between the owners and players, your channel name might actually become true…
Edit: Nevermind we good
It's a prophecy
Very true…
Unfortunately
I want to ask how does 14 teams works that 7 teams per division a odd number if they play against each other without separating that 7 teams left a odd number just like the 7 per each team being odd so how would this work

Kinda like NFL playoffs
It is legitimately impressive that Rob Manfred is so bad at his job that he makes Goodell and Bettman look like competent commissioners.
Yeah... Let's not get crazy here.
Hell, he makes Bud Selig look good.
Careful now, baseball never had a glowing ball. Bettman is a piece of shit and the poster child for term limits on commissioners. Fans hate him, players hate him, the only people that even tolerate his weeniness are accountants. Rob Manfred is unpopular but he doesn't get booed the way Bettman has been booed at every Stanley Cup Final for well over a decade.
And I hate Goodell soooo bad
Adam Silver is the only commissioner who isn't widely hated/ridiculed in American sports. What does that tell us?
Thing is Manfred represents the owners which means the owners are probably just as bad. You get rid of Manfred they’ll just get a guy who acts the same way as him. Remember the owners are writing his paycheck
Exactly. The last four or five commissioners all come from the same tree and were just close friends of the commissioner that came before them. The slimier the better too especially Selig and Manfred. They especially suck!
Yep
I hate this commissioner more than I hated tge former commissioner. Manfred is killing the & he is listening to these fans that not really fans. I agree no pitch clock,but yes to a draft lottery.
Giamatti seemed different but he really did have a chance to show us.
@@demonkingbadger6689 He certainly could’ve been the one to take us off this timeline we are in now. I think his heart attack showed us that he stressed over things with more empathy than the slime we would get after his far too short run as commissioner.
On the optimistic side, most similar labor disputes in baseball history have ended with the owners realizing they can’t make money without the players, and concede to the MLBPA
And most of the time that happens, they don’t lockout the players for months.
@@inflatableman9185
This is still off-season tho, I think the owners will break by March
@@warlordofbritannia yeah because the owners have the advantage right now because since it’s offseason they’re not losing a dime

For me, as an avid baseball fan my whole life, I stopped caring about the regular season for the most part aside from occasionally checking up on how my teams performing, and skip to the playoffs. Football really nailed how to engage the fans with nail biting seasons and meaningful games that make it worth watching.
So true
I basically start paying attention after the All Star game. That's when you start to really see if your team has a chance.
These days, I only watch my team's games until VERY close to the end of the season when scoreboard watching becomes necessary.
And even then, I don't pay much attention until all the other sports are done.
No you just have a low attention span
I miss baseball so much. Im almost depressed by seeing it disappear in the moment
well right now its offseason
@@mbdg6810 thanks bro had no idea
I mean you haven't technically been in a time when baseball would've been played this year tho
You explained the current and '94 labour dispute better than I have ever heard. The detail that you go into is unmatched, great stuff.
Nobody is going to cry for players making "less than a million dollars a year." They need to unionize the minor leaguers and negotiate to treat them fairly. That is the sympathetic group and the biggest fear of the owners. That would require the MLB players to support minor leaguers when it doesn't help them. But that's the right thing to do and there is some recent history of unions doing exactly that. Most minor leaguers never make it to the majors. They spend their prime years making nothing and learning nothing and then retire young, broke, and with no prospects for future work.
The MLBPA is the strongest sports player Union for a reason, and making common cause with the minors would only further cement that fact-I’m surprise they haven’t realized this and done so before…
Making nothing? Most of those minor leaguers make more a year than I do and I make between 75-100K a year and work way more hours than they do
@@aaronsanborn4291 are you sure about that? The average salary for a player in triple a minor leagues is $15,000…. The teams don’t provide housing or anything like that. So you’re left to pay for an apartment on that small salary. I make more then a AAA baseball player and make $18/hr…
@@aaronsanborn4291 obviously if you’re good enough you can get sponsors and everything but the majority of minor leaguers aren’t. They don’t make enough money.
@@aaronsanborn4291 no they don't what are you talking about. They literally make less than 20k a year and they have to have roommates just to afford rent
I got to see the Braves win another World Series. I'm cool with that being the last game in MLB history.

It's almost a relief to hear this - it will save me the frustration of watching my team fall short yet again, and give me an excuse to stay away and pursue other interests. Both sides take the fans for granted.

@@PallazzoPodcast the Tigers haven't been relevant since 2013 when they lost in the ALCS.
@@chrisshook8471 No doubt about it. 2014 against BAL was the death knell but I see your point.
I'm at the point where I literally do want them to cancel the season. That will wake the owners and players asses up to realize that their sport is dying and fans are being turned away in droves.
I'm with you. It's time to show these rigged pro sports leagues who REALLY calls the shots around here; the fans. If the powers-that-be are constantly rigging games for the sake of gambling or low-balling player salaries, they aren't even games anymore. I wish we could all work together to boycott the MLB/NFL/NBA, to hit them where it hurts.
Not to mention that maybe they will realize just how good of a thing they have. One thing that irritates me is the seemingly utter lack of gratitude from either the players or owners about either being able to play this game for too money, or being able to own a team.
Perhaps a hit in the pocketbook will open their eyes. Then again, maybe monkeys will fly out of my rear. I'm not at all optimistic.
@@DaDitka Agreed but owners pay their salaries.
I would not give in and threaten to cancel entire season. Owners need to stop with ridiculous contracts, especially for pitchers. They don't even play every day and no longer pitch complete games. I would not give in to players demands after giving them enough already.
Let them go out to the real world and see how it goes.

Baseball has already been canceled in my household thanks to Rob Manfred. Free runner on 2nd base in extra innings??? Are you kidding me??? Totally delegitimizes the previous 9 innings. Can't wait until a pitcher or pitchers have a perfect game going into the 10th inning, yet there's now a magically-appearing runner on 2nd base. Moron.
The effort and research that goes into your videos is much appreciated my guy. Your solution to the players and owners wants sounds like a pretty good compromise to me. The only thing I really hope doesn't happen is the pitch timer. Baseball is a long and meticulous game and that's why we love it so much, imo a timer would change the fundamentals of the game too much.
Nah, MLB is losing viewership year over year while salaries and expenses increase. Pitch clock is great. IMO - They need to do MORE to compete for eyeballs these days.
@@VeriStrawberi people who don’t like baseball, don’t like baseball. A pitch clock isn’t gong to make them suddenly like baseball...because guess what? THEY DON’T LIKE BASEBALL.
How about we stop catering to and pursuing people who “just aren’t that into” us?
I mean, really - who do we think we are? The GOP (to blacks)?
@@bogme Thank you, been saying that for years! Rushing the pitcher isn’t going to change anything 🤷🏻♂️
@@VeriStrawberi I agree. Baseball was more popular when there was more fast paced-action.
Pitch clock is actually a great idea imo. Games are too long and pitch clocks are already implemented in some minor leagues and it’s been going fine
If baseball wants people to return to stadiums, listen to radio broadcasts, and follow teams daily (as we did as kids and young adults), put all TV games on free antenna broadcasts, and slash ticket prices in the traditional "cheap seats". Fans will return in droves and those who earn higher incomes will pay more money for good seats.
I just started watching baseball last year. Honestly this is all confusing but very interesting
Here I am thinking the 2022 season would be cancelled because of bad UMPing 😂 (maybe I'm watching a little too much Jomboy)
Everyone wants to play by their own rules.
same, good way to start
Dude same here!
The thought of taking away luxury tax and having no kind of salary floor means that the disparity you already see in the game is only going to get more 1-sided between the teams with owners that actually spend and owners that put together barebones operations like John Fischer of the A's.
Players don't think about that or the fans of that organization that get hurt by this. All they care about is getting theirs. The top players don't really care about the bottom players either tbh. If they did, they would have Tony Clark fight more for those players instead of the 1%.
@@walker1984 The disparity is not a problem with the players. It is the owners fault.
If the owner does not want to pay for a competitive team, then that has nothing to do with the players.
If the owner wanted to promote his team, pay for stars, and market all of that, there is no issue.
It is owners who don't care about the team but just want to say they own a team, that is the problem.
@@the_algorithm Without a cap there are too many teams that simply can't afford to compete. Owners have to choose between going broke hoping to get lucky or manage the team for profit. There needs to be a floor and cap. Without a floor there are owners that won't field a competitive team and without a cap there are owners that will vastly outspend others. At least half the teams are basically a minor league system for the big market, big spenders. This is a big reason why fans are checking out and not watching once you get outside of places like the northeast corridor and California.
@@kamX-rz4uy the level of parity isn't the reason fans are checking out otherwise The NBA which since 2000 has had 5 repeat Champions while the MLB Hasn't had 1 repeat champ since 2000. The Reason people aren't paying attention to baseball is because baseball is too slow paced for people.
But the NBA had a record dropoff of viewers because of those repeated champions so not sure your point is valid since it just recently recovered
I think your history of labor negotiations grossly misrepresented that history. MLB has a unique legal status in the US that allows the league to dodge federal anti-trust laws. Free agency didn't exist until the early 70's when SCOTUS finally decided that some monpolistic behavior the MLB did was illegal. Salaries skyrocketed relative to where they started, but those salaries started near the median national household income at the HIGHEST level of baseball. Owners were "losing" through the 90's in the sense that they were being forced to abide by more (but not all) of the federal laws governing labor that every other business in the country follows.
Also, the league is not legally required to remove player likenesses from their websites. This is shown by the league continuing to sell merchandise bearing player names and likeness. The league does not license player likeness from the MLBPA because the MLB never negotiated away that right.
So does the mlbpa or MLB license rights for video game rights
@@666jt Both. That's why your copy of MLB the Show has an official MLB logo and an MLBPA logo. For baseball cards, Topps had both licenses, but the MLBPA also licensed their rights to Panini.
Well said!
Do u know why they tooke their pictures down from the site ?
@@not_jon_vendi It's not clear, but it seems like a tactic meant to draw attention to the lockout. MLB probably wants people to conclude that the MLBPA is so petty/greedy as to not allow MLB to show the likeness of players on their website during the work stoppage. They want to turn popular sentiment against the players like they did in '95.
Please don't expand the playoff format.
Why not???
I think an expanded playoffs would be great for baseball.
@@davidharrison7014 How so?
@@homerj.simpson7562 More exciting games to watch, and more revenue for the teams and their owners.
Players and owners will whether you like it or not, question is will it be 12 teams or 14 teams.
This really didnt age well...baseball will play a full 162 game season
Back in 94 the slogan I remember was “the billionaires vs the millionaires.” Honestly I’m dissatisfied with both sides. Ticket and concession prices are ridiculous all because of the high salaries. People wake up, it’s a game that people get rich off of. It’s simply just entertainment. I’m tired of all of it. During natural disasters and crisis, we need real workers and real skills from people that don’t even get a fraction of what these overpaid entertainers get yet are risking their very lives.
A lot of the low level guys aren't really millionaires (at least in the 90s), but I take the point, they're pretty comfortable. But I'm not sure player salaries are driving the costs. If you froze the players salaries, you'd change nothing. The owners will charge what the market will bear, not what's "fair". If they can keep charging more and more every year, they will. Players at least pay a higher tax rate, so I'd rather it went to them. Maybe those billionaires should pay more tax too, but that's another conversation.
Oh good, another person who has absolutely zero clue how free market capitalism works.
Why do sports players make so much money? Because that's what the market pays them. There are few of them, therefore the demand is higher.
Why do firefighters, nurses, and teachers make less? Because that's what the market pays them. There are many of them, therefore the demand is lower.
That's just how the free market works. You don't want the sports players making so much money? Convince every person to never go to a game, never watch it on TV, never buy the merchandise. All of a sudden, they won't make nearly as much because you aren't giving them your money.
Watch on tv?
@@ryanchase9332 if you genuinely hold the belief that we operate in a free market here in the US then im afraid you don't understand either my friend lol
I feel you 100% on this. This goes with every other sport too. Same with Hollywood.. F 'em all.

My Tigers finally signed an AS level shortstop and looked like they might show the promise they were building up last year and then this happens :(
I’m a padres fan but I’m really excited to see what the tigers do after signing Eduardo Rodriguez and Javy Baez
I’m a huge tigers fan too but in my opinion this could possibly be the worst time ever to be good in 2020 and 2021 the playoffs and world series just didn’t seem the same in my opinion and it just seems like it going down hill I’m so happy that we’re signing good free agents and our good prospect are have an impact at the big league level but scared it could be wrong time
I used to be a Tigers fan. But 2006- 2014 seasons just took too much out of me. I just bet $ on the games now. No favorite team.
Everything about Detroit is pissing me off this year
All snow storms avoid us; yet the temperatures stay below freezing constantly. I want to beat Mother Nature
Lions always do bad and then win the last games so they won’t get a first round pick. Their future looks promising. However, they will probably find a way to screw up
Pistons sign Cade Cunningham and we were excited. Of course, we are the second worst team in the league
Tigers sign amazing recruits and then this BS happens
Redwings seems to be really improving and is the only team with a winning record as of today
Local Detroit area baseball show here! We will have a season eventually and Miggy will get 3000! Just might not happen until June.
I fully agree with the players wanting shorter free agency times. Always thought 7 yrs was way to long.
I remember when Josh Donaldson won MVP at 29 but was getting paid like 3 mil cause he only had a few years of service time
@Brian T technically yes but it's often manipulated to basically being 7
It's absurd and a relic of the distant, segregated past. Completely agree.
@RedArc We the fans (which I am NO longer)...are the ones paying their ridiculously hefty salaries by paying an outrageous price for cheap seats and $8 for one beer. Why defend these overpaid bums?
@@middlefinger1565 why defend the billionaire owners? You're right we pay their salaries and if the owners paid them less they would just make more money for themselves.

As much as I'd like to see MLB work out its labor problems, if they can't get it solved and put a product out there on the field, SO WHAT?
Every team needs to have a salary cap period. Otherwise teams like the Yankees will be in the playoffs and world series every year and smaller market teams will never be able to compete.
Yankees haven't won the WS in 13 years
@@anaihilator The Yankees make the playoffs pretty much every year. Every team should have a players salary cap to help keep things fair. The luxury tax is a good thing but a salary cap would be better. That way when a team wins a world series it's not because they bought the best players other smaller market teams couldn't afford. The large market teams can out due the smaller ones in managing, scouting, developing players. and having better minor league teams.
@@truthcrusader4521 you're assuming it's the goal of every team to be competitive every year
I'm not from MN but I live in Minneapolis now. The owner of the Twins are the Pohlad bros. It is well known by the Fandom that those owners do not really care about winning because they refuse to pay for top quality pitching and they do not have a history of developing quality pitchers.
Cuz we could talk about how small market Tampa the past 6 or 7 years have regularly developed pitching talent and have made the WS and gone deeper in the playoffs in recent history than the Yankees.
The KC royals won a WS(because they scouted, drafted and developed their players well) not but 5 years ago and then had a fire sale because they didn't want to pay anybody (the Miami Marlins won 2 WS following that same script)
But no, the Twins owners won't pay for premium pitching and they are known for keeping players in the minors as long as possible to delay when they will have to pay them. So even if they have a hot prospect they stunt their growth and the ability of the team to compete and win because damn a WS, they don't want to pay anybody unless they absolutely have to.
And here is the deal...the Pohlad owners are worth more than the Steinbrenners. But the current Stejnbrenners are not like George who didn't care how much he had to spend because he only cared about winning. The current owners are content to just be good enough to compete and make the playoffs and make their money from concessions, the fans, and the yes network
So I can't give every owner of a smaller market team sympathy , because there are owners who absolutely can afford to compete but don't want to spend the money because they make money if the team is mediocre or not
@@anaihilator Doesn't matter if the owners care or not. Every team should have the same amount of money to spend on players. Maybe small market owners would care more.
@@truthcrusader4521 like ok..do you not understand its the owners who fund these teams
So it's completely moronic for you to say it doesn't matter what the owners want because clearly it does matter and it affects what teams actually spend money to win, vs owners who do the bare minimum and still profit and that is good enough for them

Lifelong hockey fan here, casual on and off baseball viewer. Getting into this channel has been a really interesting insight into a sport I don't know much about.
One thing that boggles my mind is the amount of grudges that are held for the silliest of reasons. Like, the Major League players strike, so you, a Minor Leaguer, are called up to play in the majors. And for some reason, thats a negative that you carry with you your wholr career? What? If any player in the AHL or even the ECHL was given an opportunity to play in the NHL, for any reason, they'd do it, and I'm sure they wouldn't be ostrasized for it.
That petty aspect of this sport really confuses me, but also makes it more interesting honestly.
Why can’t the best teams from all over the world create a super league at this point . Have the best teams from the us , Mexico, Japan , and etc play each other. It could be a win win . Not only that , it expands the game and popularity.
the best mexican team is mebbe aaa lvl. ditto japan. drop a bit for korea, venezula, dominica, phillipines. any otha place that even has organized leagues [europe? snicker] is low minors. @ best.
0:35 I'll keep saying this: Enforce Rule 8.04, and give umpires postseason assignments based on how quickly they move games along.
At least baseball exists now.

Here is a story about Bud Selig, the old commissioner. I was a kid, about 10 years old back in the 90's and I went to a Brewers game at County stadium with my Dad and his friends. When we were leaving, we are trying to get autographs from players who were coming out and heading to their cars (A lot of them stopped and signed a bunch of balls/items for people, even the Texas Rangers players like Pudge Rodriguez and Juan Gonzalez) One guy that wouldn't stop was Bud Selig. My Dad's friend knew who he was and started heckling him and yelling drunken insults at him. He came back about 5 minutes later and walked up to us, he had a box full of baseballs, he came up to me and gave me a ball and signed it, then he stood there chatting with my Dad and his friends for a while. Turned out he was a good guy, a lot better than most people think he is
Whaaaa?!
its getting harder and harder to defend baseball. i love baseball and that baseball has a long season. somthin to watch on tv or live everyday. but adding more playoff teams is a joke.
That's why I primarily support independent leagues now, like the Atlantic League
And this is why I am becoming more of a fan of Strat-o-Matic.
At least the owners and players do what they do best- play and shut up. Lol
ZZZZZZZZZZ......Who really cares anymore?! I have played and coached baseball most of my life (53 years old) in one form or another. I love the game of baseball, but the MLB, not so much anymore. MLB's version of "baseball" has become so dull and boring that it is painful to watch. A 9 inning MLB game used to take around 2.5 hours (or less) to play. Now the same game takes closer to 3.5 hours (or more). Why? More commercials, pitching changes, umpires that don't know the strike zone, replay reviews, and crazy rule changes. Now we have ANOTHER MLB lockout? What this amounts to folks is nothing but millionaires arguing with billionaires over money, period! These "players" are paid millions to hit a ball with a stick, and they whine because they aren't getting paid enough, while the rest of the country is struggling just to get by?! Give me a break! Now MLB wants to expand the playoffs to 14 teams? Why even play a regular season? Just start with the playoffs and be done with it. This is the MLB, not the NFL or NHL or NBA, where almost every (crappy) team makes the playoffs. The playoff expansion is, once again, all about revenue and profits for the owners. Some of the rule changes MLB wants to implement make sense, while some are just ridiculous, depending on your point of view. What it all comes down to is the all-mighty dollar. However, what the MLB players and owners always seem to forget is that it is THE FANS that put the money in their pockets. Without the fans going to games, MLB would be finished. Ticket and concession prices are so ridiculously highly now that the average person cannot even afford to go to a game any longer. I may be aging myself here, but I can remember when GOOD SEATS at a MLB game were around $4.00. An MLB.TV subscription is around $120+ now, and a loyal fan cannot even watch their favorite local team, due to MLB's ridiculous and greedy "blackout rules." What is the point of getting a subscription if you can't even watch your favorite team play?! MLB wonders why they are losing their loyal fan base. Well, part of the reason is the lack of attention-span of the younger generations. However, most of the problem is their own doing, and it will eventually be their undoing. Maybe it is time for the fans to go on strike and boycott MLB. Maybe then these players and owners will remember who puts all of that money in their pockets year after year. After being a life long baseball fan, I am personally done with MLB, and I am sure many other fans feel the same way. From now on, I will be spending my summers giving my valuable time and money to other forms of "quality" entertainment. MLB, I am done with you!
man, you know how messed up that was for ken to lose his job. that man would do triple what manfred did in half the time, and still write all his articles

Do an episode on the fall of Montreal due to the '94 strike, pretty please.

Just subbed, good content and keep up the great work. I’ve been watching these non stop too
The name change🤣🤣
Can’t cancel baseball, but we can cancel the MLB.
Looking forward to new rules that benefit the game , and also want the players to return happy and ready to play ball

I'm looking for the season to start in June. There will definitely be a season in 2022.

Hope this situation ends soon. I would love to watch the Rays make an attempt to go to the world series
I would love to watch my O's make an attempt to win 60 games.
@@dcxxxx for real 😭😭😭
Of course the fans don’t have any representation at the meetings. Both sides serving their own interests and it’s the fans who love baseball as a sport not a business who suffer
Why should people not part of an organization have a say in it?
Remember "fan" is just another name for customer.
You know what I love? A 2.5 hour baseball game. You know what I hate? A 3.5 hour baseball game.
And while you’re trying (failing) to make it interesting, max two throws to any baserunner during an at bat. If you don’t get him out on try 2 he can essentially walk to the next base. Make basestealing great again and actually interesting.
Never side with the owners. Always side with the union.
Why?
@@msscott22 because it's crazy to support billionaire hoarders
@@CNep99 Sorry, I support the owners on most of these issues, and it has nothing to do with how much money they have.
@@msscott22 all of this has to do with how much money the owners have lol
@@CNep99 No it doesn't. It has to do with rules, operations, and procedure. I'm guessing quite a few owners would love to see the luxury tax threshold raised higher so they can spend more without being penalized.
Thank god this didn't happen and we got baseball back!
I'm surprised not even one team owner/GM would be like "No signing any free agents....got it. ....SIKE!" 😂

Lol that would be great. Sign like 10 players on the same day
Petition to replace every major sport commissioner with Adam Silver
Today's baseball has no stars. I asked some friends that don't follow baseball... they had no idea who Mike Trout, Ohtani, etc. were. But they all knew Griffey and other huge stars from 'back in the day'

Yay, another Baseball Doesn't Exist Video! Oh wait, lockout...
3-10-2022 update, baseball is back, agreement signed.
I like how everything turned out completely fine lmao
The players and owners reached a new CBA agreement yesterday. The 2022 regular season starts April 7, 2022!
I see the pitch clock as a minor issue, I rather see a pitch take 40 seconds to throw, you can reset the clock just by holding a running on base and it adds a little more speed to a game, look at basketball the shot clock was implemented so that teams would stop passing the ball around once they had the lead.
I’m completely fine with the pitch clock. But not ok with a DH in the national league.
@@adamlynch9153 I'm done if they bring the DH into the NL. It's a different game, and I've never been able to get into AL ball.
@@mfallen6894 I know I don’t even care about the American League at all really
As a laymen to the sport Lowering the season length would make me watch the Sox a lot more during the regular season and not when I just hear that they made it far into the play offs
I used to be an Astros fan. After I found out they cheated, I watched fewer games. After I saw the league’s weak punishment, I stopped following the sport entirely. Started watching UFC and F1 while also still watching NFL and NBA. Baseball could dip in popularity severely nationwide if they’re not careful.
MLB will never regain its status as America's National Pastime.
could dip in popularity? it already has lmao
ive never been a baseball fan but the way the astros were just slapped in the wrist was ridiculous. also seeing their fans parade around on twitter celebrating their cheats
I have no problems with the length of a game. It's the length of the season that should be addressed. Why do we need 162 games?
Also, I'd like to see more diversity in schedules. Facing the same four teams over and over again for half the season gets very repetitive / boring very quickly. As a Blue Jays fan I'd like to see teams other than NYY/BOS/TB/BAL more often.
The seven inning doubleheaders and the runner on second in the tenth inning have got to go.
Yes they do, as does the 3 batter minimum rule.
Great video! Can tell you put time into it, it was very well done and very informative
As a Braves fan, I’m glad we got a good one in before this. 😂
Agreed! Murphy, Andruw Jones, and McGriff to the Hall of Fame!
"One player whose brother is a minor league manager says that he had to ignore him during Christmas dinner because the two of them talking is now illegal."
Okay, I HAVE to know more about this...
Manfred sucks look at The all star game last year. Uniforms, at the asg? What ? Why are not switching from Al to NL. Stadium
More playoffs suck......why even play the regular season if it does not matter.it makes playoffs boring, and degrades reg. Season... if it goes forever. Like 2020 postseason was awful ..crumby teams get it, it takes forever, and.its bad for.the game.
Actually all baseball.changes since 2015 are bad.
When the talks where delayed, I knew the owners were planning on waiting to the last minute to put pressure on the players. Then try and win the PR game, by blaming players. This is probably gonna go on for a while unless the players sign a bad contract
Yep. Which looks like a possibility right now. Those players just can't seem to get it right lately. Disappointing.
For every single person in the comments thinking that the players are paid too much: if you are the absolute, undisputable best in the world in a certain craft, AND create billions of dollars in revenue for your boss, it is only fair that you get compensated considerably better than the average Joe. It's the same (if pro sports are not more lenient) for any other professions out there really.
Another "Scab" player from the '94 lockout that went on to win a World Series Ring was Damien Miller. He also hit the first Walk-Off Grand Slam in Chase Field/Diamondbacks history off Orel Hershiser.
Great pull Clifton! Are you a Diamondback aficionado?
@@PallazzoPodcast No, not quite. Just happened to grow up in the same town that Damien Miller did, and am distant relation.
@@cliftonmcclintock3931 Awesome! We have to have you on the show to share your story!
@@PallazzoPodcast I could probably only share the story of how a young kid from Wisconsin became a huge Diamondbacks fan, for no reason other than someone from the same town as me played for them.
@@cliftonmcclintock3931 We'd love to hear that! Join us on the live chat sometime when you can. We'd love to hear from you. Thanks!
SO GLAD THIS WASNT THE CASE
I want steroids back 😎
I agree. Hello from Montreal, what a shock, eh? A. Bartlett Giamatti was right, and Bud Selig, Manfred's mentor, is still the worst human ever involved in baseball. Suggestion for improvement: MLB PA should unionize and adopt at least some of the AAA minor leagues. They should also form a finance group to either buy all the teams of the current MLB in a package, or start their own league as a giant ESOP / community-owned cooperative like the Green Bay Packers.
Paul or A. Bartlett Giamatti?
@@SyndicateSuperman thanks, oops, corrected. Now I'm wondering if they're related.
@@acchaladka barts kid, yea ...
Its bad timing for a dying sport to go through this. With the rising cost of everything, gas, inflation, energy, housing and now a looming threat of war with Russia or rekindling the Cold War again I dont think too many Americans are going to be enthusiastic about a spat between millionaires and their billionaire overlords.
Baseball is dying a slow and painful death and I dont think there is a way to get it back without a fundamental shift in the game and the culture. Baseball is out of touch and comes across as snobbish, devoid of enthusiasm and purpose. The youth has lost interest at the recreational level, the minor leagues eliminated 43 teams in 2020 and there are just far too many better options on tv and the internet.
I will always side with those who do the work.
uh, managin a large business isnt work? /smh
I'm still surprised that last year my Hometown Atlanta, Georgia won the world series. It's been so long that My hometown Georgia has won the world series back in 1995.
Is it because nobody cares about BB anymore, and the players are waaaay overpaid
Great video! Love the historical side you showed and how it leads up to all this mess. Really drives the point home of why these sides are so at odds with each other rn
ruclips.net/video/iJvqVU8Iab8/видео.html
This didn't age well
Thankfully
This is not good for a sport that's already headed toward a slow death. The increase in revenues is TV money that will leave with the advertisers. Young people don't watch baseball, MLB may never recover from a season lost.
I want to ask how does 14 teams works that 7 teams per division a odd number if they play against each other without separating that 7 teams left a odd number just like the 7 per each team being odd so how would this work
Best case for baseball is a drive tot survive like program
@@MsSaskue360 i have an idea for 12 teams if expansion has to happen.
If the sport wasn't dying before according to alot of people it definitely will be now
We need to have a rival baseball to give MLB some competition.
@@thebigm4 I don't think that will happen and even if it did I don't think they would last very long
@@jackhammer2506 Well you never know and that is what they said about the AFL before the NFL and AFL had a merger.
That interview with Chipper Jones was not on Atlanta talk radio... That was from a NASCAR podcast called "The Dale Jr. Download." Other than that good video.
This sounds nearly identical to everything with Roger Goodell in the NFL, aside from the cancelled season of course.
People, however bad the commissioner may be, *stop shooting the messenger*. He is not in any position of power. The commissioner is essentially a hired goon for the owners, which are the ones actually causing all the problems. You want change? Attack the owners directly. Be that in the media, with your wallet, however you can and choose, the only way things improve is at the expense of the people who are really on top.
There will be baseball in 2022, and it will start on time. They know any stoppage will kill baseball, so they will come to a deal.
