Heard no mention of new substance abuse policy in the owners' approved CBA...
Is that a public document or no?

Dunno how much we can quote but here's a pile...
"I knew about that two years ago, it was going on," Lucroy said when asked about Houston’s method of cheating. "I know it just recently came out. Everybody in baseball, especially in that division that played against them, we were all aware of the Astros doing those things. It was up to us to outsmart them, I guess you could say, which is kind of hard when you have a computer program that breaks your signs. We actively changed signs. Almost every pitch we were changing signs. You had to because they had them. They were relaying them from second. They were stealing from first too, from between your legs. They had a very intricate system going on, we were well aware of it and it was a challenge. It was a mental challenge to really overcome that. It’s easier said than done. It’s a shame. I’m glad it came out and was brought to light because it needed to. It was getting out of hand. I was in that division for three years on different teams playing against them. There were times they were on every single pitch and you’re like, ‘How are they doing this? How is this happening?’ When we found out we were like, ‘We have to start changing signs up a lot.’ And we did and the swings got worse whenever we tried changing signs up all the time."

Sunk cost fallacy strikes again.

The education system really cheats the gifted athletes. Then everyone idolizes them.
Then we put them in charge. Then eventually Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho is the president and we can’t grow an ear of corn.
Get (most) coaches out of classrooms.

As the Sturm - level logic about the new salary cap after the new CBA oozes ever-so-slowly into the minds of fans...
More and more will realize that Dak wants a short deal to get in on that huge cap number with his subsequent deal prior to turning 32.
Everyone knows Jerry likes longer deals so he can renegotiate and move money around. Also he knows the cap & cap hit will be waaaay bigger.
Nothing will happen until it starts to impact the team. Maybe March 10th, maybe right before the draft, maybe in May around OTA’s, but definitely by July 18th when the tag locks in. I really can’t imagine him giving McC a disgruntled tagged QB in year one, but the Jones’ are full of surprises.

Makes perfect sense.

Jerry needs to get on this.

Nobody has ever (in football) made 20mm per year in endorsements alone.
OBJ has come close.

but it’d be great if they lost 100.

Reminds me of Larry Parrish at 3B in that time.
Basically a wooden indian at that point in his career.

Which sounds like a problem a good ST coach can address as they round out the 53 out of TC and then the 46 each week.

I think it's more of...
They sold out for some down-roster guys based on skill in their offensive or defensive role, but who also lack in special teams skills/mindset.

Some radio guys mentioned Boston is about to get some degree of punishment...
but them transmitting pitch ID in at-bat is not in the news, from what I’ve seen.
