Well, as I've told you, Dan, I covered the 81 strike.
81 was 45 years ago, and we're still talking about very similar things, and we haven't gotten a whole lot closer to any solution.
So I just don't see at this point the union accepting a salary cap because they've been against that since the days of Marvin Miller, who screamed at me in Washington one day in 1981 because of something I had incorrectly written because I didn't know what I was doing back then.
Not sure I know what I'm doing today when it comes to labor, but we're in a bad spot and something has to happen here because these two sides are really, really far apart.
Yeah, we had 27 strikeouts in the game last night.
That's the most in any nine-inning All-Star game ever.
And again, the high road to take, which I almost always take, is that the stuff that these guys see today
We've never seen this before.
It's the hardest hitting environment in Major League history.
And the secondary stuff that these guys have to go with 98 to 105 miles an hour is it's just too much.
And it's just another reminder last night that when really good pitchers with great stuff locate that great stuff, the hitters have absolutely no chance.
Even the best hitters on the face of the earth have no chance.
Dan, we had 22 players strike out 100 times by the All-Star break.
22 have struck out 100 times or more.
Hank Aaron never struck out 100 times in any season.
Tony Gwynn had one.
Again, different time, different era, different players.
But it's an issue when...
We have this many strikeouts and this many homers and not enough in between.
And it's an issue that, you know, Paul Skeens and Jacob Mizorowski and Shohei Otani didn't pitch last night.
