Regardless this is the proper take. MLB is a monopoly with Russian-style oligarchs somehow appointed over teams. There is no competition. It only works like this because congress considers it basically a national service. Then they get more greedy over their return with guaranteed insane multiples and deprive the country of an entire sport.

No baseball teams lose money. Is this guy insane? They 100% are not losing money.
EB is a nice guy but a serious dumbass. He doesn't watch or read fictional things because they "aren't real".

MLB profits aren’t shared. But if they were losing money, teams wouldn’t go up in value every year. They wouldn’t be sold at increasingly higher values every single time a team hits the market. These are big profitable monopolies.
With the Nats, there are constraints, like paying out initial investors. But they have never operated at a loss outside of maybe 2020.
People with any sympathy toward owners should read Lord of the Realms for a primer and dig into the business of baseball a bit more. This isn’t billionaires vs millionaires, this is corrupt owners squeezing everything they can out of their monopoly at the expense of minor leaguers, short-tenured players that can’t negotiate their salary, and the American public.

Hiroshima Carp are ass lately, so I am all in the Tijuana Toros. Train to the border, uber to the park. Easy peasy.
Not a great video, but you get the idea. 2 Tecates for $3 total, elotes, fried pig skin, tacos, weird-ass knock-off Disney princess cheerleaders (@goblue96 ), etc...
If they're locked out for some reason, I might need a KBO team, smh

I really hate how well Rob Manfred is playing his role as a human shield for the owners. So many people are talking about how Manfred needs to be fired and don't get that the owners would just replace him with another toadie.
The hate needs to be 100% focused on the owners. This is their fault. Manfred should basically be ignored apart from the scorn that he still deserves for calling the Commissioner's Trophy a piece of metal.

That's exactly my point. The people who are calling for Manfred to be fired are foolish if they think that will change anything.
He's deflecting blame from the owners and letting them get away with this shit. People will simultaneously blame Manfred and then bootlick and claim that it's a both sides issue to try to defend the owners when this is on the owners and not the players.

Assuming there is a season I plan to take the family to Boston for a reds redsox matchup.
Looks like there are options for $106 in the lodge area or for $60 in the infield grandstand. I don't want to get stuck behind poles to watch the game so I'm not sure where that risk is.
Is the lodge worth an extra $40/ticket

I would say probably not, Fenway isn't that big and the grandstand seats are fine views for the most part. Just check the seat views before purchasing to make sure you aren't getting a pole spot.
Honestly as a TALL I don't fucking fit in the built in 1912 or whatever seats so I spend most of the game in the standing room only areas anyway, which are awesome. Just roam around the concourse with a beer and watch the game. Realize that's not as possible with a family in tow tho.

How many times are you going to get to Fenway Park? I would go all in and get the nicest seats you can afford.
When I went we were in the outfield with like ten seats. Smoltz got SHELLED! As a tall those were some really small seats.

This. I’m not super tall at 5’11” and those seats were crazy uncomfortable. We had tickets about 20 rows up at 3B.

Can't let defenders stand where they think the ball might go, that's bad.

Same. I’d suck the toes of the lead off guy on 2nd to start extras, so of course MANFRAUD got rid of that.

Imagine football not being able to shift around pre snap lol. What a bunch of losers.
fixing a game that doesn't need fixing. Someone send Manfred to Nascar to ask them how that shit works in the longterm. Making bases larger? the fuck...lol. Next thing you know they'll have those dual bases out there where one is white for the fielder and one is orange for the runner.

I don’t understand the point of the bigger bases thing.
And your football example is always what I tell my friends when they complain about shifts. Joey Gallo can go fuck himself. Like he was hitting triples.

Safety bases totally make sense at first base and should be used at all levels. Almost completely removes the threat of collision.
