Rob Manfred in hot water
 
[url]https://twitter.com/nickcocco18/status/1299097093685104648?s=21[/url]

Video above describes the Mets personnel discussing the plan Manfred wanted to happen tonight. The Mets and Marlins wanted to not play to take a stand. Manfred wanted them to take the field, then walk off at 7:10, then return at 8:10 to play.

Brodie says “he just doesn’t get it”.

Manfred could be in a lot of trouble for this, attempting to use the players and go against the players wants for his own plan

rman112 08-27-2020 05:06 PM

Maybe Manfred will get the boot.

I'm being optimistic.

Keith Olbermann just tweeted this:

Unless this is somehow fabricated or the greatest misinterpretation in the history of the sport, Commissioner of Baseball, Rob Manfred, has to resign.

Tonight.

This is indefensible, cheap, sordid, racist.

The video that caught all of this is unreal which ironically was caught by the MLB cameras and was live streamed. Manfred is a(n) idiot. I know plenty of guys in the bigs from All Stars to bench players and they have said the whole league does not like Manfred and this is before he screwed up things w his response to Covid.

Giannis34fan 08-27-2020 05:24 PM

He is the worst commissioner in the 4 major sports and now he has this idea?!? :cry: :doh:

Damn, my prediction was off by a day.

Not a fan of Manfred but quoting Keith Olbermann is pretty bad.

anusinha 08-27-2020 05:42 PM

Manfred is a fool, and if this is what gets him fired, then great.

2020 anything goes

88horsepower 08-27-2020 05:57 PM

Hard to imagine a worse commish than Goodell, but there goes Manfred.

They're all bad, because they all work for the owners.....people keep on thinking that they're supposed to be "neutral" guardians of the game, but they're not.

Adam Silver (NBA) is probably the least "bad", because NBA owners are actually reasonably enlightened, especially when compared to MLB & NFL owners.

Will a new commissioner bring younger people to baseball which would hopefully trickle down to the hobby?

Not as long as the commissioner works solely for the owners....

i may be missing something which is very possible. Did olbermann just say that the commish wanting them to play was racist? Just wanting clarity, not taking the side of manfred

Fake news? The Mets have taken the field in Queens...

Spoke too soon. They choreographed warm-ups and then walked-off. Stay tuned

It’s Olbermann and also the only acceptable way of thinking in 2020
