2021-22 CBA Negotiation/Lockout Thread (DEAL IS AGREED TO)

[eligrba]

This whole thing is stupid. Because MLB is a federally protected monopoly, the arbitration process should be responsible for creating a new agreement.

Until the fans rise up together as 1 and stay away from games. Fans can have a huge impact stand up and say we're mad as hell and not going to take it anymore. Kinda like a self imposed ban.

And what exactly would fans demand?

Bring back frozen malts to the concession stands.

With a full size wooden spoon, not the tiny lame one they replaced it with.

[Dtwncbad]

And more fights please.

[Dtwncbad]

Here is a question.

Is the actual overall experience watching a game better or worse if they (since they realistically can’t move all the fences back) designed a slightly deadened baseball so that instead of it traveling 400 feet for a homer it goes like 390ish and stays in play for a great catch, a double or a triple?

Maybe homers help appeal to more casual fans overall.  I don’t know.  But I am curious if the fans that are more into the actual game than the casual fans think more balls in play would be better.

First if 1 game cancelled fans stay away 1 month. 4 double headers scheduled each season. All games 9 inn, extra inn no more placing runner on second base. One game a month 2 kids (12 and under) get in free with each paying adult. Kids get 1 free  frozen malt at every game.

So what you are saying is when they start negotiating they are able to resolve things?  Imagine where we would be if they started negotiating 6 weeks earlier.

No.  I am saying more gets done when there is a deadline looming.

We just see this from opposite perspectives.  It’s fine.

It's not fine.  There's only one way to resolve this...

While the malts with the old school wooden spoon to get that true splinter woody taste, you both are amateurs here, its the sticky buns that need to return.

The sticky buns are too messy.

There really oughta be an In-N-Out at Angel Stadium. It already takes 30 minutes to get food at the concession stands, so INO would fit right in.

@Stradling are you gonna sit there and take this bullshit

[Taylor]

Let me clarify; if we're going to wait 30 to 45 minutes for food, it might as well be INO.

[T.G.]

I’ve never waited 30 to 45 minutes for food at the stadium

[beatlesrule]

Since all food at the stadium is overpriced, which is actually kind of worth it? Like, okay, I am going to get ripped off but what's the best bang for the overpriced buck?

[Docwaukee]

FFS.  Can all of these douchbags just figure out how to divide up their millions so we can go back to bitching about them?

[tdawg87]

I need an AO rant.

If they ever let me get creative in my new department I would love to do this.  It wouldn’t even be difficult. 

[Stradling]

Well to say it wouldn’t be difficult is a big of an exaggeration.  Predicting sales would be a bitch.  

[Dtwncbad]

I love how the observations are you have to wait 30-45 minutes in line for food, but that the food is also way overpriced.

Sounds a bit like a Yogi Berra saying.  “Nobody goes there anymore because it is way too crowded.”
