So apparently the Mets left their live stream on after the pregame presser. Video was still streaming to MLB.com for 30+ minutes after the presser and then the conversation happened.




Now BVW just released a statement saying it was Jeff Wilpon's idea and not Manfred. Chile...

I’ve read every account and I am still confused as to what happened.


And yes. Bring back the black jerseys.

I kind of feel bad for commissioners of these sports leagues. They are between a rock & a hard place. Look at the ratings of MLB. Look at the ratings of the NBA. Taking these kinds of positions hurts the leagues more than it could help them.

With that said one would think after people are done having their tantrums, their eyes will eventually come back. You’d like to be standing tall with your decency & dignity intact. You know the old adage of history will remember.

If you’re the commissioner/owner and watched how distraught Dominic Smith was and came away thinking of ways to assuage the situation without having to fully commit to the course that the players wanted… I mean that’s just not a good look!

Basically, Manfred wanted to pretend to protest and then just have the game an hour later. BVW was "caught" - some people say it was set up to make him look good - telling someone about it.

After it got out he's saying was a misunderstanding that it was just the Wilpons suggesting they just play an hour later for no reason.

Now both the Wilpons have released statements sucking Manfred's dick and throwing BVW under the bus.

I'm not buying it. I believe the original story.

MLB players have One of the strongest unions in the US if not the world, but outside of salary demands they don’t say or do sh!t else. Especially not the highest paid players. But that has a lot to do with how white the sport is.
