    Hey, two runs!
  3. Brock Beauchamp
    I agree that it's less true but that's as much from big market teams using the luxury tax as a soft salary cap as any real parity in the sport, which isn't a great long-term solution.
  4. Brock Beauchamp
    No, Contreras' start in St Louis wasn't "disastrous" for any reason other than the Cardinals are arrogant and eagerly threw their new free agent acquisition under the bus in lieu of taking a long, hard look at their own organizational mistakes.
  5. Brock Beauchamp
    Oh, absolutely. The self-imposed limitations are nearly as bad as the necessary limitations. And that extends up to larger market teams like the Cubs, whom I feel aren't spending anywhere near their capability and haven't for quite some time.
  6. Brock Beauchamp
    Yeah, but smaller markets can only compete in brief bursts, they have to play by entirely different rules than bigger market teams. 100% parity probably isn't the solution but balancing the scales a bit more is good for the sport as a whole. TV revenue has really broken baseball over the past couple of decades. Having the Dodgers bring in $250m a year from TV while the Brewers bring in $40m isn't good for baseball.
  7. Brock Beauchamp
    Pretty much exactly this.
  8. Brock Beauchamp
    Yep, which is why I'm skeptical we'll ever see the parity and revenue sharing needed in baseball to raise interest in it nation-wide. Owners are too focused on what's happening RIGHT NOW with very little interest in laying a foundation for ten years from now.

    Their presentation is great (and typically Apple), I'm not a big fan of fracturing MLB broadcasts further and further. Though Apple's probability percentages are ****ing stupid, to put it bluntly. I don't know if any of you listened to the Effectively Wild podcast last year with one of the heads of the company that does the probabilities but it was super-embarrassing for her. Just really awful tech.

    No, comments were supposed to post in this thread. Thanks for pointing that out. Given that this is an all-new system, there's a good chance we just screwed up the code somewhere.

    Yuck to yesterday's game, a real waste of a Stroman start. But new day with a day game! Except it is on Apple TV+. Is this a new thing for Apple? I can't recall a day game on the service before.

    We try to compensate the best we can, it's kind of "our thing" as a way to keep the model sustainable and not become exploitative (glares at SB Nation). Some of our writers donate their earnings to various minor league funds or a charity if that's the route you'd like to take.

    You interested in trying your hand at front page stuff? We could really use some MiLB coverage. We can pay a little but not much, as we're still building out the site and traffic. No huge obligation, just whatever suits your fancy.
  14. Brock Beauchamp
    Those words don't go together, man.

    By the way, we have a really cool voting page here and our prospect list is community-voted. We'll be opening another round of voting shortly after the trade deadline so keep an eye out for it and be sure to participate. Here is the thread from the last round of voting:
  16. Brock Beauchamp
    Microscopic, under 5%. The Brewers are playing extremely well right now.
  17. Brock Beauchamp
    Any app we build would have to be custom-built by us. Maybe that's possible but we'd need a few more (profitable) sites to warrant the cost of building that, which would easily go into tens of thousands of dollars.
  18. Brock Beauchamp
    I didn't realize they had Triantos second.
  19. Brock Beauchamp
    If they do that, I hope they're swept out of the first round.
  20. Brock Beauchamp
    I hope Orioles fans are putting pressure on the front office and ownership because the way they’ve handled the past eight months is embarrassing. They have a rock bottom payroll, did basically nothing in the off-season, and now they’re saying their top ten is off limits? Get out of here.

    Heya, welcome!
  23. Brock Beauchamp
    As mediocre as those unis are, they're not even in the bottom third of the CC jersey set (hey Rockies and Red Sox).
  24. Brock Beauchamp
    By the way for all you PSD people with existing NSBB accounts, any time you want a screen name change, just shoot me a PM.

    They did ditch Minnie & Paul on the uniforms, though it's still all around Target Field so part of the Twins branding. I love the new uniforms and think it's hilarious the Twins designed one of the best City Connect uniforms (their alternate Twin Cities gear) before Nike could come in and design an abomination that everyone dislikes.
