    Good new...

    BREAKING: Major League Baseball and the MLB Players Association have reached a tentative agreement on a new labor deal, sources tell ESPN. While it still needs to be ratified by both parties, that is expected to be a formality. Players can report to spring-training camps as early as tomorrow. Opening Day is expected to be April 7, as ESPN's Jesse Rogers first reported.

    Never in doubt it was going to happen this week. I’ve been watching hotel prices in Phoenix/Scottsdale. They’ve been sky high!

    Regarding the first week of games the rumbling is, and what I'm getting from Ken Rosenthal is the first week of games is 'cancelled' and not going to be made up. That's just hearsay for now.

    About time they ended it, do I dare say it, the MLBPA were the assholes this time.
    I'm glass half full guy and I was starting to think we weren't going to get a summer.

    Now instead of writing about mind numbing business minutia on a daily basis I can concentrate on real baseball matters.

    Such as who is Freddie Freeman going to sign with?

    two problems with moving the season is that the world series would interfere with midterm elections and that people have trips planned to ball parks already

    cant they just put some of the games as doubleheaders or something? the interleague ones would be the only real problem

    actually just saw that they are planning to put in some scheduled doubleheaders as makeups for the lost games

    Like last season.
    First four days, nine aces were -200 or better, eight of them lost.
    Oh the humanity, chalk players were leaping out windows like it was Black Monday, October 28, 1929.

    I'm anti DH but let's face it, the DH is not going away in the AL so might as well make the DH rule universal.

    MLB allowing advertising on uniforms and batting helmets now. NFL only major league to not allow it, so far.

    I hate that they banned the shift. If some stupid left hander can't learn to bunt to third base, he deserves to make an out.

    Yep, and you know I'm on record as saying such.
    A professional hitter is not a professional if he can't hit to all fields.
    And I don't want someone in my lineup day in day out if they can't, unless they can put up numbers like 48 homers and 118 RBI on a consistent basis.

    Playoffs are hosted by higher seed best of 3 series. That’s the new wild card round. The playin games are done at the end of the season if someone is tied. I’m glad, you don’t need that with 12 teams in the playoffs. I have to see how it’s spaced out though. Apparently, there is going to be 3 more days at the end of the season and the rest of the missing games will be doubleheaders

    Next year, every team will play each other in every season. Going to cut down the divisional games. So you figure roughly 54 series per team, 16 Inter league (home/away against rival), home away intraleague that’s 36 series total. That leaves 18 series against the division. Basically cutting about 30 games out against the division and making them Interleague. I kind of like this actually.

    Its all great. I was pretty mad about it yesterday, when they delayed it again, all over the stupid international draft.

    Universal DH, awesome.
    No more 2nd base in extra innings, awesome
    No more 7 inning double headers, awesome.

    Going to be a good summer.

    From your lips to God's ears.

    Now I can go back to writing about key free agents remaining and where they might wind up instead of writing about pre arb bonus's and international drafts.

    Took nine months to come together.
    The founding fathers put together the constitution together in three months.

    Sad when you think about it.
