Post-Season Thread

Dave Roberts said in the trophy presentation let’s get four more wins and really ruin baseball. I hope it will be worth it to him when we see yet another MLB work stoppage by around this time next year, if not sooner. I hope I’m wrong, and I don’t use hyperbole like this often, but I’m afraid the coming work stoppage could rival 1994-95
 
Indeed it was. He is truly a unicorn. No need to rag on the Brewers. If the Dodgers' starters are healthy and are going to pitch like this, they won't be touched by anyone. They'll probably sweep the World Series too after the Jays and Mariners exhaust each other.

All the crybaby whining aside, we just got to witness the single best baseball game ever played by any human in the history of baseball. It was very likely the best single baseball game that will ever be played by any human ever. It was amazing.

Agree. I'm old. I've seen almost all my favorite teams win championships and my favorite players do amazing things. Sometimes, you just have to sit back and enjoy greatness whenever it happens and realize how special that performance is. We can hate on the Dodgers for the size of their wallet (Funny. We didn't complain about Ted Turner's wallet.) and the deferred money angle, but that shouldn't take away from what Ohtani did last night.

League doesn’t need a salary cap. They need a salary floor and to make the AAV of a contract count against the luxury tax for the duration of any deferred payments. That will cut out these ridiculous contracts under wraps pretty damn quick.

agreed. teams like the marlins, pirates and athletics being allowed to run their pathetic payrolls every year is much worse for fan interest than the dodgers spending $300 million
 
My question is how does the NFL make a floor/cap system work? Does their revenue sharing model make it possible for all teams to afford staying at 90% of the salary cap?

Would a floor/cap system in MLB require the rich teams to send the poor teams enough money to afford $200M payrolls?

Probably the insane tv money. MLB should just make all tv money distributed equally

Hard cap.

NFL owns the TV rights and splits it equitably.

The draft is more impactful because it's easier to evaluate players, who are immediately ready to play.

When franchises cannot spend infinite money and everyone is flush with cash, small market doesn't matter as much.
 
The pathetic Reds offense is the only offense that's been able to hit the Dodgers.

Dodgers SP is really good, but they're probably due for some regression in the WS. I hope Raleigh hits 6 homers in the WS (assuming they t get there) and I hope the Dodgers go cry into their $10k dollar bed sheets.
