I think there is a case to be made for Miami and Tampa teams relocating or contracting. The Pirates stadium isn't old. The underlying issue in Oakland was that they played in the worst stadium in professional sports and the City over 30+ years never would co-operate in getting a stadium done. Stadiums aren't the issue in Miami or Pittsburgh. Its an issue in Tampa just due to repairs needed from hurricane... These are not apples to apples.

Dear Commissioner Manfred, As an Oakland A’s fan, I’m asking, why did MLB support abandoning a loyal, diverse fanbase when viable stadium plans and serious investors existed? Waiving the $500M relocation fee sent a message: ownership profits > community. Do the right thing.

There are some officials that do a great job, unfortunately there are officials who don’t. No contract should include rewards just for seniority, they should be tied to performance. There are still too many games decided by bad officiating, part of that too is there are too many bad rules and the league needs to quit treating these guys like they’re playing flag football.

The NFL’s collective bargaining agreement with the NFLRA expires May 31. The league sent a memo to each club last week prohibiting public comment on the situation. But as owners, league officials and team staffers in Phoenix at their annual meeting, sources painted a dire portrait of the likelihood of an agreement before replacement officials are hired.

NFL is set to hire replacement officials and begin onboarding them in the coming weeks, via @SeifertESPN and @kalynkahler. espn.com/nfl/story/_/id…

@EXM7777 Really, I am actually not sure it’s worth the $200 I already spend. Does some great things but cowork is slow and clunky.

@49ersDrea Not certain I would say great yet, productive, sure. They’ve done well at addressing some areas of deep concern but we’re barely past the end of Q1 of this offseason. They need to do more and I want to see them have a good draft and fill additional holes.

49ers were aggressive in free agency, researched the substation (even if it’s silly), and are investing into the training/recovery facilities. Someone knock on wood… But this has been a great offseason.

Yeah same plan, I think there have been issues with updated versions and not transitioning. Mine lost a whole days worth of context in cowork. It’s functional and has had better success for me at execution than my openclaw agents but I have yet to get to be truely pro-active, think for itself. Openclaw still ahead on that for me.

I'm on Claude's $200 plan, and for some reason it's getting dumber. I'm talking simple contract review stuff where it COMPLETELY misses important details. Did it get nerfed? What's happening?

@TomPelissero I certainly don’t think they’ve earned any raise at all. These are “full time” officials, why is there any “dark period”. There are some good ones out there, I don’t deny that but I don’t think as a body they were good enough to earn what they’re asking for.

The NFL has offered its game officials a six-year labor deal with a 6.45% annual growth rate in compensation, while the NFLRA is insisting on 10% plus $2.5 million for marketing fees the league regards as worthless, sources say. The union also continues to resist changes the NFL is insisting upon, including shortening the “dark period” after the Super Bowl, deploying underperforming officials to spring leagues for extra reps and ending a seniority-based system for playoff assignments. “We want to pay for performance,” source said.
Tom Pelissero@TomPelissero

The NFL plans to begin hiring replacement officials before the May 31 expiration of its labor deal and deploy them in training camps to have them ready if no agreement is struck with the NFLRA. As one source said today: “Our direction (from owners) is not to be unprepared.”

I really do think there is a case to be made for contraction of teams that under perform on attendance. Clearly there are a combination of factors, ownership not putting a quality product on the field, local communities not supporting the team. @MLB should buy out those owners, and then look for options where teams might be successful. Portland might be one of those options. I favor contraction more than relocation because that just moves bad franchises to new areas. Moving a Marlins franchise, for instance, to Portland would leave the ownership intact to perpetuate the same problems in a different location.

@JeffPassan I think the system itself works perfectly, not a fan of the challenge part though. Personally I think the ssytem would be better and go faster if it was used exclusively to call all balls and strikes. That should be the next effort.

There are moments that offer a pretty good sense that something new is going to work. This feels like one for ABS. The Cincinnati crowd’s reaction was thunderous. And the situation itself — twice it salvaged a bases-loaded opportunity. This system plays.

@OT2pointO Is it really on ownership? City of Oakland should shoulder much of the blame for that…

@JonnyRoot_ I detest all the national games and broadcast teams, they’re all so obviously biased towards NY, LA, Boston, and Chicago. I refuse to watch any of them.

C.B. Bucknor could be the worst to ever do it. Through eight innings, the Reds are 5 for 5 on challenges against him.

@OaklandRooted So then conversely when you have teams that under perform in revenue and attendance (the As in Oakland) MLB should just contract them and fold them right?

Relocation should never be the default when expansion is on the table. If leagues want new markets, add teams.
Don’t rip them away from the communities that built them. This goes beyond Oakland. Across all leagues, expansion grows the game. Relocation leaves damage behind.

Vitello said Devers is still feeling the hamstring “a little bit.” He could play first base if needed, but there’s no reason to push it right now. They expect Arraez to see time there at some point, but it’s Schmitt for now (with Encarnacion an option as well).

The 5 worst NBA teams have a winning percentage of sub 30%. The NFL had 7 such teams last season. Did it dominate NFL coverage like tanking is for NBA? Nope! Because the NFL knows how to market the good stories and ignore the bad whereas the NBA often seems to do the opposite.

@MetsGirl333 Totally agree, if we pay for MLB TV or NFL Sunday Ticket we are paying premium and we should get every single game, no blackouts, no restrictions. Including playoffs!

That’s actually the second dumbest thing MLB does… putting the first game of the year on Netflix and the other teams second game of the year on Apple TV is dumber. Those of us who pay for MLB TV shouldn’t have to pay for all these streaming services to see games and local market teams shouldn’t miss games early in the season because they’re on streaming services. There’s MY rant!

The dumbest thing Major League Baseball does is schedule an off day right after Opening Day. They build all that hype, then they immediately hit pause. Lol. There's my rant.

@UnderdogMLB Better than 50%, I honestly didn’t think it would be north of 50% mostly because I didn’t expect as many challenges.
