@FranmilsEyebrow Convince me a salary floor will actually make a difference and won’t just raise all contracts.

People need to understand that the art of negotiating is setting a pretty extreme initial proposal, to leave room for compromise.
Yes of course I know both MLB and MLBPA proposals “won’t pass,” but if the end result is somewhere in the middle, I really think it will be good.

Does that shit say $171.2M?!
Jesse Rogers@JesseRogersESPN
BREAKING: As expected, MLB proposed a hard salary cap to union officials today as part of the next CBA, sources tell ESPN. The salary floor for teams beginning in 2027 would be set at $171.2 million which includes player benefits with the ceiling at $245.3 million.

In my view, the only oddities within DeLauter’s swing occur post-contact
We tie ourselves in knots sometimes worrying about swing aesthetics, especially when there doesn’t seem to be concern in the getting barrel to ball chunk of the process
David Adler@_dadler
I can't believe our own MLB Pipeline scouting report literally says "he doesn't have a pretty left-handed swing" because Chase DeLauter has my favorite swing in baseball right now

@jasonrmcintyre @jisaacraymond Saying the NBA runs laps around the NFL might be the most baseless thing I’ve ever seen on this app.
English
@jisaacraymond How are you quantifying “cultural lull”
What metric?
Jersey sales?
Tv ratings?
Or is this mostly centered around tweets on a Saturday afternoon?
If social media is the metric, nba still runs laps around nfl & mlb
English
It’s very notable that baseball has surged out of a cultural lull by just addressing things that annoyed people. And then you contrast that with basketball - paralyzed by tanking, free throw hunting, having too many games, etc.

This might be the first time in the history of pro sports that players have the opportunity to humiliate the umpires/referees with home fans getting to cheer it on — baseball’s doing everything right these days.

@ZackMeisel Can’t wait for the DeLauter IL stint from a sword injury.
English
The Guardians are going medieval in 2026. They have a new celebratory home run prop, a knight's helmet, and a new postgame ritual that involves an actual sword.
So far, ye olde gimmicks have been used exclusively on the noble rookie Chase DeLauter.

@SaraForTexLege Exactly why I’ve always thought this No Kings thing was an op.
Nothing was accomplished but the below.

Did you seriously just post on the internet that the GOP is compiling an AI driven list of people who don’t agree with them politically?
What a complete psychopath. 😳
Rep. Clay Higgins@RepClayHiggins
Media: “Congressman Higgins, you’re a MAGA Republican, so why did you say that the No Kings rallies were a success?” Me: “Because we were carefully observing Ma’am. Liberals gathered predictably, weather cooperated, crowds were thin but they tended to linger and pose… it was pretty much a flawless operation. We have millions of digital images, billions of identifying data points. Height, weight, shoe size, tattoos, gait… all of it. AI eats that stuff. Success.”

@GuardsJoey Hey, it’s tied. You still “trying” to avoid overreacting?
My goodness.

I’m trying to withhold overreactions due to us facing the schedule of doom and despair

@GinaMuscato @theraymund I understand this feeling completely but you have to draw the line somewhere. If there was gray area something else would then become the new borderline.
English
@theraymund But that’s my point. If it’s a hair off the plate I’m against it
English
Unpopular opinion: I understand some ball/strike calls are egregious & the ability to challenge makes sense…but baseball isn’t meant to be so precise that you rely on a box. Grey area around the plate is part of the gm. Otherwise it’s just not baseball. Idk. I’ve mixed feelings.

One of the worst questions to ever be asked
Liam Blutman@Blutman27
“Have you ever warmed up with 7 minutes left with a trip to the Final Four on the line?” Is an all-time atrocious question

Eastern Michigan’s Mohammad Habhab will enter the portal, his agents @EthanCoury and Corey Marcum of @EZSportsGroup told @thefieldof68.
The 6-9 freshman forward averaged 14.2 ppg, 8.3 rpg, and 3.1 apg.
English
Its funny how some Guardians fans act like it’s the end of the world when someone says Indians, but people who still say Indians don’t care at all when someone says Guardians.
Chuck #D4L@ChuckGobrowns
I cannot believe people still get on here to argue over the name of the baseball team in Cleveland.

@jeffborzello @TomFornelli Leaving infinite job security for a similar amount of prestige and less job security is…something. Unless the salary is significantly more.

NEWS: Akron’s John Groce has emerged as the top target in Charleston’s head coach search, sources told ESPN. Nothing is done and steps remain for both sides in the next 24 hours, but there’s mutual interest. Groce has led the Zips to four of the last five NCAA tournaments.

@searstowersport @DraftExpress This is genuinely pathetic lol guys are just straight up lying

NEWS: Toledo's Leroy Blyden Jr. will enter the transfer portal, agents Brandon Grier and Rob Murphy of Equity Sports told DraftExpress.
The MAC Freshman of the Year averaged 16.5 points and 4.3 assists per game, shooting 40% from 3. Expect significant high-major interest.

@OrlandoNapoli22 Akron Kent State > USA Mexico.
USA Mexico is a meme.

Putting it modestly, there’s like 25 college football rivalries bigger than USA-Mexico
USMNT Otaku 🇺🇸@USMNTOtaku
This comment from IG is funny. No college football rivalry comes close to the USMNT vs Mexico rivalry.

@JordanZirm Got locked up on the first but I’ll give you the second one.

two stone cold takes from Chase DeLauter in two-strike counts against Logan Gilbert last night
English
That’s odd, I could’ve swore that he did something else in his MLB debut.. 🤔
Always the Jake@JacobsFieldRBW
100% accurate, it’s a shame he was one-upped by DeLauter just a few hours later
