To me, as we continue this conversation, the question becomes, in trying to solve this, is it worth losing games, and is it worth losing other things?

That's what comes with

A potential lockout very long.

I personally don't think there's anything at this point worth losing a lot over.

But, you know, here we are two months away from two and a half months away from the lockout.

And I don't know.

I don't have any idea, guys, when it's going to end.

Yeah.

And, you know, when I invited them on, I didn't expect anyone to say yes.

I was hopeful they would.

There have been people at the league who are unhappy with the way that I framed it and presented it and said it was kind of cynical.

I think it would be cynical not to think that someone wants to talk about

Because the truth is, guys, MLB is the one that is looking for drastic change.

you know, they'll go out and tout where the game is these days and how, you know, the game has not been in a better place in a long time.

And they'll give manifold reasons for that.

But then when it comes down to economics, it's like all of a sudden, no, we want to completely change things.

And I personally think

if you are suggesting drastic change, that the burden is on you to make the argument for it.

And the burden is on you to answer the questions about it.

And look, if they are compelling reasons, and certainly salary caps have, I think, majority support among fans, no question about it.
