@MatthewMKE98 The other common denominator here is pitching vs hitting. He’s criticized publicly pitchers before, even this year for not being “prepared”. Whereas those hitters he’s not as publicly critical of. Might be a philosophy thing for him, and/or just knowing how hard hitting is

@GoldenPackBrews It’s not so much Perkins specifically As it is the inability to criticize Sal, Joey, Rengifo, etc But he’s so quick to say Sproat needs to produce

With Brandon Sproat, it’s “he needs to be better or he loses his spot” With Blake Perkins it’s “oh he’s trying his hardest and he’s just unlucky; but we’re gonna continue trotting out a guy who’s batting average starts with a ZERO Give me a break man, keep the same energy
David Gasper@dgasper24

Pat Murphy on Blake Perkins "Perk's been maybe the most unlucky hitter we've had. The numbers are ridiculously bad. He's hit some balls tremendously hard, especially right handed, so I wanted to get him some at-bats."

@dgasper24 Dont get me wrong, Perk hasn’t been good. But hes a fine 5th outfielder. He’s a good defender and a good teammate. Difference between how Murph talks about Perk and like Sprout is because of potential. For Perk this is pretty much if for him. For Sprout, it’s for what he can be

@Ben_Yoel This is really easy to say this when your team plays in the biggest market, and your owner has the highest net worth.

@SoFloBallKnower @Just_Carp Sure, he may want to go there. But what would make the 49ers just release him? It’s not like they are paying him so they have no incentive to let him go to another team for nothing. And that team is in the NFC

@JeffSpiegel “Playoffs are a crap shoot mathematically” is like the post I see from time to time here saying odds are 50/50 no matter is situation. Like saying either outcome has the same likelihood of happening (heads or tails). In reality, MLB outcomes favor higher salary teams

The team who had the best record in baseball *last year* had the 22nd largest payroll. Any smart person will tell you that the playoffs are a crap shoot mathematically, which is why there's more parity BAKED IN to baseball than any other sport.

@The_Cubbie1998 The funny thing with this take, is Brewers owner (Mark A.) has a net worth of around 1 billion $. Mets owner (Cohen) has a net worth of 21 billion. If Cohen wanted too (and he had tried, unsuccessfully) he could dump money in since he has the resources.

Cap will fix nothing. Look at the Brewers, the Mets. Billionaires want you to believe the Cap will cause more parity in the sport. There is more parity in MLB currently than NFL and NBA.
Jesse Rogers@JesseRogersESPN

The MLBPA's response, in part, to today's proposal: "The owners responded today with a demand for a salary cap system, something generations of players have fought against. The last time the owners made such an explicit push for a cap—over 30 years ago—it led to the longest work stoppage in MLB history. For generations, our members have fought against cap systems because they harm players at all levels, erode or eliminate contractual guarantees, pit player against player, lead to more work stoppages, not less, and get worse for players over time. Caps don’t lower ticket prices for fans, eliminate tanking or ensure teams are run with equal competence. They suffocate competition by offering owners an all-purpose excuse for inaction and mediocrity."

@TMAN2999 @MarinerMenace I’d be curious to see the actual stats, if the top does get affected. It might, but then it still only benefits the next 5-10% I do agree with you, they need a floor and would need to re-work the pre free agency years. But I’d say most fan bases want a more level playing field

@GoldenPackBrews @MarinerMenace And unless the cap is tied to league revenue amd there is reform for the 3+3 arbitration system, this wont help the bottom half of the league very much. If the union is ever going to agree to a cap its going to come with a rookie contract style is drastically different.

The MLBPA is threatening a work stoppage over a proposed agreement that would force 15 teams to dramatically increase their payroll because it would also force 5 teams to slightly lower their payroll. That doesn’t make any sense to me. Can someone who understands this explain?

MLB made a counteroffer to the MLBPA, and Jayson Stark shared his thoughts when he joined @975Unfiltered "They say this is about competitive balance. Should we look at who is in first place right now? The Rays, big spenders. The Guardians, they are big spenders. The Brewers, often confused with the Dodgers. Does that seem like a competitive balance problem? Ask the Mets. Ask the Angels. Ask the Tigers, and the Astros, and the Red Sox, and the Giants. They are all terrible, and they are all in the top 12 in payroll." 📸Patrick Smith/Getty Images)

@TMAN2999 @MarinerMenace The one thing I have a hard time understanding, it seems though the salary cap benefits the top 1% of the game, however the floor would help benefit the bottom 50% or so. Point being, how do those pro players just hanging on, benefit from no salary cap?

@Brandon_N_Wile 1. Just because your team is in a larger market shouldn’t mean you get a competitive advantage. However I thought I saw large markets keep their stadium $ which is fair. 2. They would get $ sharing from the clubs so it’s net new $ than they have now.

Initial questions for Manfred if I’m a fan of a high payroll team is why shouldn’t my team be allowed to spend the money it generates on the roster? If I’m a fan of a small spender, how can they have the ability to now pay 2x the amount they’re paying? Why not already do it?
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.

@tkwg0 @Bryce123317 @MarinerMenace MLB v NFL is apples v oranges at this point. If your point is big markets will be near the cap, and small markets near the floor, I don’t disagree. But to keep the system as is and think it’s fair is wrong. Big market teams can’t keep up with LAD, much less medium/small market

@chriswithans The product itself is great. Tons of great players and talent. However when I comes to the winning it all, it comes down to money. Only the Marlins 20+ years ago were bottom 1/2 in salary cap and won. All other teams the past 30 years have been above league average in salary

I'm as pro-owner and anti-players union as it gets but I don't want baseball to become like football. That's where this is seemingly headed. Baseball is not broken. It's better than ever. And not to get political but the owners are reminding me of Democrats who want to change the rules because they're not winning. That's just wrong.

@Bryce123317 @tkwg0 @MarinerMenace FWIW, I don’t think the purpose of the cap/floor numbers were to ‘level’ the money. Just a rough guideline at this point. Agree with my fellow brewer fan, the top of the market will still be at the cap, while most small markets will be above the floor in some capacity

@tkwg0 @MarinerMenace I agree. If they would have at least made it equal then the PA loses the losing money argument instantly and outs them significantly behind on public perception. But also the owners need to leave room to negotiate as well.

This is what happens when you don’t have veteran leadership in clubhouse. Some people think it’s funny, I think it’s horse***t. If he was my teammate, he and I would have a major issue. Kids come to these games and emulate us. That is a responsibility we must uphold to the highest standard. This isn’t the WWE.

The Brewers crack me up. They took all of those pieces *and* added a sinker *and* tweaked Drohan's changeup to get some kind of ridiculous knuckle/splitter movement. Just moving differently than the rest of the league.

Kyle Harrison will get the headlines, but I'd bet Shane Drohan was the selling point in the deal for the Brewers. High-vert cutter ✅ Multiple breaking balls ✅ A straight-CH (with incredible Whiff Rates) ✅
