This is a great win. Lots of basehits with risp and everyone contributing without the longball.

We are currently a playoff team.

Duran is an all star at this point.

Agreed on that.

I'm an Evan Carter fan, but my hope is that if he doesn't get his avg around .200 by the end of this week, send him down and let him prove that he can hit. He has had so little time in the minors ai think it would do him well.

This winning streak is very encouraging. For obvious reasons, I think teams going on winning streaks of 4, 5 and 6 games are the mark of truly good or great teams. Yes winnign every 2/3 is good too and leads to a winning record, the playoffs and the lot, but winning streaks of an extended nature just show me more.

Just was looking at the schedule and shocked to find out we're already almost a month out from the All Star break. Feel like this season has gone by pretty quick.

That's probably exactly right. And the thing is, the players are likely going to lose this particular fight. There's too much empirical evidence that salary caps work. The NFL, NBA and NHL have all seen big boosts in revenue since salary caps were implemented.

I'm not typically on the side of owners, and I'm very aware of the history that drives the suspicious nature of the MLBPA, but at some point it goes from being relevant to just being paranoid. The owners have submitted a plan with a salary floor, which I think is a really positive step. Maybe the number needs to be negotiated upwards, but the players are so committed to no cap, I don't think they can see the forest for the trees.

Long story short, I don't think we have baseball in '27, or at least for a big part of it, and at the end of the day the MLBPA will be accepting some sort of cap. JMO

Yeah, I expect a half-season at best and won't be surprised at all if the entire season is canceled

Not only is the union against a salary cap, they are demanding a salary FLOOR where teams get penalized if they don't hit some minimum team salary.

I don't want to sound like an Owner defender, because for the most part I am not. Most Owner's are greedy, dirty business men or groups that value the dollar above all else. However, in this instance, I think the players are going to have to check themselves in a major way. Stop being the petulant, entitled group of dudes. Put your big boy pants on and work with the owners to get something done that BENEFITS BASEBALL. What's good for the players isn't necessarily what is good for BASEBALL. Have some sense of gravity and the best interest of the sport in mind.

There needs to be a salary floor. There also needs to be rules about deferred compensation. There also needs to be a cap. This is going to be a trainwreck of labor strife for MLB
