Oooh good point.

Which shocked me, because it is not a hitter-friendly park for players that supposedly are just on the cusp of making the majors. But there it was, last year, hitter-friendly. I took from it that there is a larger difference between AAA and MLB batters than there is between AAA and MLB pitchers.

That is what I understood you to mean. Just clearing up some of the legalese.

Not really. A stick like that is nearly worthless in today's game. Marleau would be better off with the stick he had.

The article says he "is seeking damages from the team in excess of $150,000," which is a common way of phrasing a claim in a complaint to meet some sort of jurisdictional/statutory minimum. I'd bet that's the case here.

I hadn't been following until just now. That sux. There's nothing they can do for you here?

Looks like it.

So it looks like 6000 fans per game under the revised plan, according to Ch. 4. Maybe $250 on the secondary market?

Believe me, I still remember the day, the moment, the location, and everything about "she said yes." Bless you both!

For normal people? Probably, although very recent news might impact that and help lower prices; that is, after all, why they moved the sale out by a week. For season ticket holders (and really, how many are there?) who can buy early? No, I think somewhat less expensive. I'm niot sure how much less expensive. If they can sell only 4000 tickets, this is going to be expensive. 10,000, less so, but still, MLB in Buffalo for the first time since the 19th Century?!

I'm ok with a two-year contract for either of them for exactly this reason. I'm also ok if they stick with Granato, as I wrote a couple of weeks ago. I'm not ok with Leaman.

I don't think so.

It doesn't kick in until next summer IIRC.

Jacksonville had to tarp over parts of its stadium in the blackout era just to get games on TV. Also, Urban Meyer is throwing a lifeline to Tebow.

Who is "they"?

Fair enough, but that's our thread, without people in the know. People in the know includes Jack in this situation. Seriously it seems like something he should and could have pushed for earlier, but, you know, I'm not going to make a meal out of it. I'll just let it go for now.

Watching Florida-Tampa right now. At least COVID hasn't affected the Panthers' attendance.

1. Nolan to Columbus confirmed. 2. More seriously, I really wouldn't mind him here on a two-year deal. Just enough time to turn the culture around, and not long enough to adversely affect success.

Just locking it in.

The hallmark of a sportswriter trying to scoop.

Yep. I also have moved my comment to the correct thread.

Why in the world didn't the agent do this earlier? Wow.

@Thorny It made Sportscenter at the :58 minute mark. So hardly a priority.

I don't know whether this event would be susceptible to a grievance under the CBA, but I do find some sense in your position here.

Tremendous. I love Marty, but I do wonder sometimes whether his middle name is "Pollyanna."
