What is this crap?

Is this the first lockout initiated since August 11, 1994? I am still bitter about that.

I believe 1994-1995 was a strike, not a lockout.

I don't care what the issues are - I don't care for the business side of sports. But they better realize they better get this resolved before the season is impacted. A lot of people left after the 1994 labor stoppage. Baseball isn't the NFL where the fans will just come right back.

Literally because it’s an older demographic and they might die

I remember some old timer saying once that Jim Thome’s stature, swing and power reminded him of Gehrig. I can see it.

Timing, leverage and upper body strength?

Well, and baseball has become so freaking boring!!
Strikeout or home run. It's the only 2 outcomes of big at bats.
Baseball is terrible now. No strategy, no "moves".
It's become a game of chess, where every player is a pawn.

Very quick wrists.
