Do these cases ever go anywhere? There is an assumed risk when you go to a baseball game, pretty sure when you enter the stadium you're agreeing to it and these cases get tossed out.

will_colorado posted:the Padres might literally be broke e. Also the part not mentioned in the tweet is that the Padres actually wanted to take out $100M in loans, but MLB only allowed them to borrow up to $50M because they were worried about the Padres being unable to comply with the league debt servicing rules.  Popete posted:Do these cases ever go anywhere? There is an assumed risk when you go to a baseball game, pretty sure when you enter the stadium you're agreeing to it and these cases get tossed out. In the case of this particular suit I think it would come down to the video of the actual throw into the crowd. If Soler really did whizz some 90+ MPH fastball overhand into the stands and beaned the woman maybe she's got a case, but otherwise I have to assume the court would say sitting in the OF is choosing to be in the one area without netting or any other kind of protection and thus you're knowingly accepting the risk of getting hit by foul balls, HR's, balls thrown into the stands, etc. Sydin fucked around with this message at 23:03 on Nov 1, 2023 |

A challenge system would backfire because the ump would get pissed that the team made him look bad and would call all borderline pitches the other way as retribution

This Padres loan news is gonna get trotted around as more owner PR. But let’s peek at the numbers shall we? According to Forbes this past March, the Padres were worth $1.75B, a number Forbes claims was up 11% over the previous year. That means the team value increased by more than $173M in just one year. They just took out a loan for less than 1/3rd of that increase, and they absolutely got a rate that’s lower than 11%. The Padres could take out debt loads like that every year, indefinitely, and the owner would still be making money in the long run.

bawfuls posted:Why do we need to add a gamification to getting strike calls right? Not for nothing but we already have this and it's called "Pitch Framing" and statheads seem to love it so  That said I am pro-roboump until the current crop of umps can prove they aren't going to make wildly stupid calls, so I will only revisit this stance once Angel Hernandez and the like retire.

When he dies I hope his obituary opens with "Rob Manfred, the galaxy-brained Commissioner who thought putting someone on second base who had done nothing to earn it was a swell idea, died yesterday after a brief illness."

Most millionaires and billionaires are extremely cash-poor due to their net worth being tied up in long-term investments that can't easily be cashed out. I have no problem believing that Seidler found himself in a jam and needed an emergency cash injection.

Right but my point is it’s not a good indicator of the financial health of the Padres or long term viability of their current spending

And then there were 5. Milwaukee. San Diego. Colorado. Tampa Bay. Seattle. Which one breaks their curse first? Congrats Rangers. Hope my team, the Mariners, actually take a lesson from this and spend some drat money.

Seattle seems like they’ll be a drat good team for the next…3 years at least. I could easily see them win a World Series in the next 5 years.
