I’d been thinking about something similar re: how the “field” of sports serves as laboratories for the kind of ideas/scientific-revolutions/watersheds that are then considered smart (= good, and held by smart + good people) and how those filter down into public consciousness and shape discourse. Super interesting, Nick. Thanks.

MLB players were underpaid by as much as $1 billion in 2015. Given revenue increases, and expiring CBA, I think it’s important to highlight coming labor battles in MLB.

I enjoyed it so much I shared with coworker who has never watched baseball. That being said, I am troubled by the increasing labor vs management bent that this site is displaying. Why? Is that necessary for baseball analysis or is it a conscious or unconscious bias filtering through in your writing?
