RIPPA Posted March 10, 2022 Author Share Posted March 10, 2022 I hope you are sitting down for this shocking news If an agreement is reached today/tomorrow - they will play a full 162 games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raziel Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 (edited) But Manfred said that they couldn't play the full 162 because of something something greedy players... Also, gonna call it now, but The League saying that means they're gonna pull another Billy Mayes and sneak in another last minute deal killer then blame the PA.

RIPPA Posted March 10, 2022 Author Share Posted March 10, 2022 Summary of random shit (not dealing with pure $$$ right now) - Opening Day - April 7 - Freeze goes away upon ratification - 9 inning DH and regular extra inning rules return - Universal DH (since that was one of the few things they agreed upon awhile ago) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolfan in NYC Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 9 inning DH? Pitchers have to bat in extra innings? ((EDIT -- oh, doubleheaders. Withdrawn.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted March 10, 2022 Author Share Posted March 10, 2022 Passan recaps some of the other changes in that story Of note... Quote Other elements of the deal include: • A 45-day window for MLB to implement rules changes -- among them a pitch clock, ban on shifts and larger bases in the 2023 season • The National League adopting the designated hitter • A draft lottery implemented with the intent of discouraging tanking • Draft-pick inducements to discourage service-time manipulation • Limiting the number of times a player can be optioned to the minor leagues in one season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted March 10, 2022 Author Share Posted March 10, 2022 Be interesting to note what the 4 no votes didn't like (easy guess is either they wanted more $$$ or didn't like the international draft... or both) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voting no when the final result was 26-12 is a little safer than voting no to make the result 19-19 or 18-20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted March 10, 2022 Author Share Posted March 10, 2022 What is really amusing is the half of the executive subcommittee is made up of Yanks (Zack Britton and Gerrit Cole) and Mets (Max Scherzer and Francisco Lindor) Now I will say it is entirely possible the committee members did a poll of their respective teams and got the sense that their team as a whole was opposed (like if a team is heavily Latino - maybe they were voting no due to the international draft) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So your situation where there's more MLBPA unity for a CBA than NFLPA unity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted March 10, 2022 Author Share Posted March 10, 2022 22 minutes ago, RIPPA said: 12 team playoff (no word on structure yet) Of course I post this and then details come out No more single Wild Card game Top Two Division winners get bye Worst division winner and 3 wild card teams play Best of 3 Series (no ghost wins). It also appears they will alternate home field (not the higher seed gets all home games) No more Game 163 tiebreaker games - MLB will move to tiebreakers like all other sports use (most likely head to head record) No Reseeding after first round - so the #1 seed will always play the 4/5 winner even if the 6th seed wins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
