    Do you think these types of changes would improve the enjoyment of the game and league from the casual fans perspective? Or just make it more enjoyable for you and other baseball traditionalists?

    Probably not, but I still think removing some of the rules Manfred added would be better...  Baseball is not a game for TV, one needs to be at the park and going to a park to watch a game is to take EVERYTHING in, not just the game...

    what would you hope to come out of a strike that would improve the game?

    First, get rid of all the rule changes that Manfred has done since becoming commissioner...

    No deferred contracts…. If you want to sign Ohtani $70m/yr, that is what you are paying…. No grandfathering in, they must be paid immediately…

    All TV money is pulled together from all the clubs and divided evenly among the teams…. It is really unfair to the small markets…

    Contract by two teams…  Each division will have seven teams and top two from each division go to the playoffs…

    Now can get rid of interleague play with equal amount in AL/NL…  This will allow the NL to remove the DH that was added…

    Again, remove all of the rule changes that Manfred has made...  This is the big one that MUST be done...

    Ya mean, AFTER he played.  So don't vote him in as HOF manager. But a player?  Apparently, the HOF isn't only about stats, but also what kind of person they were while they played and after.  I'm more black and white - just show me the stats.  Otherwise it gets too convoluted.

    His stats are HOF worthy, but he did have drunk driving accident years later, though he did seem really sorry about it.  Gee I don't know.

      :rolleyes:

    He was a player-manager for his first three years of managing…

    Every sports HOF should have 1 voting opportunity.  They're either a HOF player or they ain't. WR Art Monk wasn't HOF material the first seven tries, but on that 8th try... suddenly those same stats were HOF worthy!  Ridiculous. 

    And I understand excluding players who cheated while they played (Bonds, etc.), but excluding players for stuff they did after they played?  That's insane.  Rose not being in the HOF is absurd. 

    Rose bet on baseball while  manager…. He broke the rules and should never get in…

    Plus he is a pedophile…

    Cartoonist Scott Adams has died after a battle with prostate cancer.

    Adams' first ex-wife, Shelly, revealed the news during a live stream on "Real Coffee with Scott Adams" ... reading Scott's final message to his fans.

    The letter -- dated January 1, 2026 -- reveals he's still of sound mind ... and that he's converting to Christianity because of the "risk-reward" calculation.

    We broke the story ... Shelly told us just yesterday that Scott entered hospice earlier this month and was receiving end-of-life care amid his rapidly declining health. She said nurses were going in and out of the home while she, her daughter, and her sister were providing care as well.

    Scott even recorded a podcast episode during which he acknowledged it may be his last ever ... which feels even more poignant now given his passing.

    Adams announced he had prostate cancer last year, which had spread to his bones and paralyzed him below the waist.

    In the late 1980s -- while working at the Pacific Bell Telephone Company -- Adams launched the "Dilbert" comic strip with United Media.

    He became a full-time cartoonist after "Dilbert" was picked up by several hundred newspapers ... and, at its height, the strip appeared in 2,000 of them across the country.

    Newspapers began to drop the comic strip in 2023 after Adams advised white people to "get the f*** away" from Black people in a controversial podcast episode. Scott posited his commentary on "wokeness" was why the comic strip was cut.

    Scott was 68.

    People are genuinely confused about who really suffers from "TDS". Imagine posting a thread like this and thinking it's anyone else.

    TDS is running out-of-control on both sides of aisle...  Neither side is worth it...
