The Kids Real MLB/Baseball flashbacks......
Nevermind Skubal wasn’t even on the “experts” radar at MLB on Fox/ESPN/MLB…… I even picked more Cy Young candidates than the “experts” or MLB powered by Google AI….. using nothing but stats/analytics available to 8 billion + people……
Ahead of every “expert” on the planet or even AI ^_^
——————————————————————————————-
Yours truly….. some schmuck from Anaheim CA that never went to an Ivy League or some fancy private school BEAT every “experts” preseason projections for Top 10 pitchers and also beating MLB powered by Google AI….. with nothing else but statistics/analytics available to everyone on planet Earth along with a little bit of Calc and a Texas Instruments TI-84+ calculator, pencil, pen and paper…….
——————————————————————-
4 of my top 10 are actually in the running for Cy Young vs MLB “experts” 3 out of 10 at this point in the season….. not perfect by a long shot but yeah again better than the “experts” in the industry….. and I made these projections months before the season even started……and yeah 1 out of my 10 picks is actually winning Cy Young vs 0 out of 10 for the “experts”……..
I BEAT every “expert” at their own game in regards to projections and I’m even beating and offering better results than MLB powered by Google AI…….
When it comes to what I have to offer and my results vs “MLB experts” or MLB powered by Google AI my methodology and insight using the WAR-Ratio has revolutionized how to see the game, how to better build teams, how to better make projections and how to actually explain what’s going on in the field in a better way than anything any “expert” has used in the past 100+ years or the combined 10,000 year knowledge of a panel of so called “experts”……. I did it last season and did it again this season…..
It’s not luck and it’s not coincidence…..

Its been 2+ months now and Xavier is still in a coma..... Pray for Xavier 
Praying for Xavier...... Here is to a speedy recovery and hope that he comes back from the IL sooner than later and I imagine MLB Players and fans who know about Xaviers circumstances would agree

ImO many people are over reacting....... Saying this is the end of Baseball and the Dodgers are destroying Baseball.....
I get, I've been there but really this is how Baseball works, how a Free Market works and how America works. Now many are projecting the doom and gloom of a lockout next season and many have good reason to believe so..... But a Salary Cap isn't the answer.....
With a Salary Cap the sport simply would not be as entertaining as it is, it wouldn't be as big as it is and there wouldn't be as much money as it is under a Free Market driven Luxury Tax model vs a Salary Cap..... Look at the NBA and the Salary Cap there..... The NBA is in regression, not entertaining and boring.....
Also regarding money buying a ticket to Postseason or a World Series look at the Mets, they actually spent more than the Dodgers this season and aren't even making Postseason
But business can't go on as usual of course and it's tricky and well whatever you have to say about the Dodgers or MLB...... Hey you can't say it ain't entertaining *_*

The stupidest thing about a Salary Cap aside from completely destroying Baseball..... Is what will you do with not just these contracts but older contracts...... How in the fuck would you grandfather in old contracts into a Salary Cap system..... Its just pure nonsense nevermind it will destroy the sport bring it back years and behind the NBA..... Why do that when MLB is doing great already and growing like never before, why mess with a good thing

I mean it is a Free Market but why couldn't any of the other teams have stepped in to stop the Dodgers...... This only benefits the owners and in a sense the owners are playing the fans..... Because this just makes the argument better to manipulate fans into a Salary Cap and a lockdown and destruction of Baseball because a Salary Cap increases Franchise Value and increases owners income/net profit paying less.....
This move of Dodgers to Skubal really just benefits the owners in their effort to manipulate the CBA to be more open to a Salary Cap as the only option for the next CBA..... Don't be fooled...... Say no to the Salary Cap, it's UnAmerican and a Salary Cap will lead to the death of Baseball.... Salary Caps only benefit owners.....
There is no Salary Cap on owners profits..... So why should there be one for players...

Thr lack of a Salary Cap isn't destroying Baseball.....
The Dodgers aren't destroying Baseball.....
The Free Market system and American system Baseball runs in is not destroying Baseball and truth is Baseball and MLB is bigger than ever before and even surpasses NBA, NHL and every other sport short of NFL in America in 2026 *_*
Thanks to a Free Market system and a pro American system as such MLB has flourished while sports like NBA have regressed thanks to their Salary Cap system. No other players not even in NFL get paid more than MLB players either and this Free Market system in MLB makes for an entertaining and dynamic sport driven by the Free Market..... That has made the sport bigger than ever before in its history.
Should it be adjusted yes but to destroy it in favor of a Salary Cap and owners greedy benefit is not the answer.... How much more money do they fucking want or need..... No the Salary Cap isn't about parity in competition or fair competition.... Its about putting more money in the owners pocket.....
Why don't the Commissioner or Owners argue for an Income Cap on their profit for their teams/organizations or profits MLB makes.....because they aren't fucking idiots and they are essentially trying to fuck the Players over with a Salary Cap and the players aren't going to put up with this nonsense and ludicrous BS
Its not the Free Market destroying Baseball, it's not the Dodgers destroying Baseball and it's not the Players...... The Commissioner and the Owners of all 30 teams are destroying Baseball for pushing a Salary Cap in the next CBA.....
And Commissioner and the Owners of all 30 teams will never say it or admit it but they are manipulating the game to push for their Salary Cap in the next CBA and to destroy Baseball as we know it......
The Commissioner and the Owners of all 30 teams are so greedy and full of shit they are willing to destroy and burn the village in order to save it......
You want to blame someone for destroying Baseball don't blame the Dodgers or players.... Blame the Commissioner and the Owners of all 30 teams for pushing an anti-American/Baseball Salary Cap
