Note from Brandon: I rambled at somepoint but I forgot to turn my mic back on so I redid about 10 minutes worth to the best of my ability of what I said when the mic was off. Probably lost about 2 to 5 minutes of info from it.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is new me talking before the intro music starts. Eh,
what are you gonna do? Is gonna be one of
those days, I guess, So basically before the music starts.
Our topic that I'm going solo on because I saw
enough discourse online about it is Salary Caps baseball playoffs
(00:23):
and the upcoming lockout for the twoenty twenty seven MLB season.
(00:47):
All right, so let's recap the MLB playoffs so far
la sweep since Anna's priatly since Cincinnati, it was like
a five hundred team that made the playoffs. After the me,
that's just collapsing since I held the tiebreaker. The Cubs
ended up beating San Diego, which matched Tyler's prediction there
(01:08):
where the Cubs won in three games. The Yankees beat
Boston unfortunately and three games. And then it took three
games to East Side between Detroit and Seattle, not Seattle Cleveland,
because the division series between Seattle and Detroit's phenomenal. Where
(01:31):
that series went five games. Most of the games are close,
and Games two and five was a school pitch start,
but Game five was a fifteen inning marathon. It was beautiful.
It was such a good game. Toronto just kind of
demolished the Yankees and Gentlemen swept them, and LA essentially
(01:52):
did the same to Philly. However, the Philly also could
have won Game four of the NLDS if it wasn't
four a mental mistake in the playoffs that might result
in a pitcher having to be traded out of Philly
since the Philly fans and may not want them there.
And then the Cubs. Milwaukee had the second best division
(02:17):
series where the Cubs had won games three or four,
but Milwaukee won all its home games, so therefore they're
up against LA and currently down two nothing at NLCS.
Jeff Poisson had put out articles saying how this year's
NLCS could determine if there is even going to be
(02:41):
a Major League Baseball season the twenty twenty seven season. Now,
the reason why there's most likely or there will be
a lockout is over the debate of salary caps. There
is a lot of money between players and the owners,
and some owners being cheap, some wasting their mondy and
like overspending, and players taking advantage of that, and the
(03:04):
super agents also wanting more money because of the royalties
they get off of. I think it's royalties. Something in
the contract, so they get X percent from like the
player contracts as well. I don't know all the smaller details,
so I did end up looking up each team's payrolls,
like for all thirty for this year's season, and it's
(03:32):
it's it's quite large, too much money anyways. The Mets
have three hundred twenty three million, ninety nine nine hundred
ninety nine bucks. Okay, let's round that. Let's call it thirty,
like three hundred twenty three point one million. The Dodgers
(03:53):
there says three hundred and twenty one point two nine mill.
I'm rounding up here. Okay. First off, that number is
also kind of a lie, because I'll get to the
third money in a second. The Yankees are at two
hundred ninety three point five mill, Phillyas are at two
(04:17):
eighty four point two mil. Toronto is at two thirty
nine point six mill. All these are in the millions,
So the Texas Rangers are at a two hundred and
twenty point five. Houston is at two hundred and twenty
point two, Atlanta's at two fourteen point eight. San Diego
(04:38):
is at to eight point nine, Cubs one ninety six
point two nine. The Arizona Diamondbacks is at one ninety
five point three, Boston is at one ninety three point six,
Angels one to ninety point five, San Francisco one seventy three,
(05:03):
Baltimore one sixty two point three, Seattle one forty six
point eight, Detroit one forty three, Minnesota one forty two.
They're also all They were at four hundred and twenty
five million in debt one point at one point But hey,
(05:24):
guess what twins, You've now made up that debt and
now you're of two hundred and forty six million now
for two hundred forty six, two hundred and forty five
million in debt. Saint Louis is at one forty one
(05:52):
point four five, mil Kansas City is one hundred and thirty.
Colorado's one hundred twenty point seven been Cincinnatiot one point
fifteen point four six, Milwaukee at one hundred and fifteen,
Washington at one oh seven point six, Cleveland at one
hundred point five, Pittsburgh at eighty seven point six. The
(06:17):
White Sox are at eighty two point three point two. Howe,
we wanted to look at it again. Rounding Tampa Bay
is at seventy nine point two Oakland, not really Oakland,
it's the homeless A's. So the A's are at seventy
three point one and the Marlands are at sixty seven
(06:40):
point four. Again, all these are an increns of a million,
and the uh yeah, it's way too much money. But
now let's just go over the dafferred because that's where
your eyes naped up, pop out of your skull. So
the maps are at two point seven mil. I thought
were at one point zero five six billion. Wrong, They're
(07:03):
actually at one point zero five to one billion. The
Yankees don't have any money to deferred. Philly has seven million,
Toronto is at sixty one point seventy five. Texas and
Houston are at twelve point five. The Braves are at zero.
Padricks are nothing substantial slash zero. Basically it's under a million.
(07:25):
They have anything. The Cubs are at zero, Arizona's at
sixty four million, Boston's at sixty, Angels are at zero,
San Francisco's nonaccal slash zero, Baltimore's at nine point sixty six,
Seattle's at zero, Detroit said zero, Minnesota's at zero. Again,
two hundred and forty five million debt makes sense, Saint
(07:49):
Louis is up to twenty eight million, Kansas City's at zero,
Colorado's at twenty six, Cincinnati's at zero, Milwaukee's at about five,
Washington fifty, Clevelands at zero, Pittsburgh said zero. But they're
also in depth and not nearly as badly as Minnesota
White CERX at one point five. Tampa Bay is less
(08:11):
than a million. Oh again, the A's they are at
zero and the Marlins are at about ten million. So yeah,
that's the deferred money again, that one million, one million,
the one billion magic number, and that just deferred money.
As holy krepple, that is a bit ridiculous at its finest,
(08:35):
Like actually just ridiculous. That's mortgaging your future way for
a few championships to several until those players return all
of a sudden, you don't have the money to pay
future players because you're paying a billion dollars. Ridiculous. The
UH Jeff Passan put out an article where the current
(09:00):
we'll cs matchup between Milwaukee and la it could dictate
the not to dictate, but be a factor and the
labor dispute for the twenty twenty seven MLB season that
could potentially be outright canceled due to salary cap. The
(09:20):
players don't want a salary cap most the owners want
a salary cap. At don't. At the same time, the
fans want a salary cap. Quite frankly, they should do
a fans first approach. So to do a fans per
first approach on it, I think they need a middleman
to help negotiate that part of the player thing. I
like a player agreement to you know, play season. I'd
(09:42):
be happy to do if the MLB and the Players
Association will want me to help with that. I have
a pretty good idea on that. You do two hundred
and twenty million cap for three years with the ninety
million floor. The reason why I say ninety million floor
is because Tampa Bay is proven. You can have successful
runs if you build your franchise properly and whatever it
(10:04):
get close to ninety million, they're going to be winning
like ninety plus games. You're not gonna know who the
hell any one is on that team after ten after
the three years, you can do the two hundred and
forty million a year like for ten years for a
salary cap on and then after that ten Yeah, then
after the ten years you can just increase the flooring
(10:24):
cap based off of inflation, so that way everything kind
of keeps pace. The owners typically make nine to twelve
million a year on average after they pay all their
people and the franchises themselves. They as a profit. It
(10:45):
varies from team team like some franchise will lose money
for a year and another one could gain up towards
like a like one hundred million dollars in profit. And
when it comes to revenue sharing, I think the percent
of revenue sharing is around like forty eight percent there
the entire league. The let's your like the I know,
(11:08):
like the rookie deals like where like the first Series
four arbitration starts. I'd like to say that's somewhere between
seven hundred and seven hundred drew Like yeah, seven hundred
and forty and seven hundred and eighty thousand dollars, uh,
both of them being thousands of dollars obviously before taxes
and then after they just got cut that in half.
(11:30):
That goes with all the player contracts. Your player contracts,
will you the teams are actually intelligent what they how
they pay is you front load all of the contract
money and before the age thirty one season, because most players,
or the average player starts declining after age thirty one,
(11:50):
hit or not. Here see pitchers last longer because pitching
is eternal. Quite frankly, pitchers start declining around age thirty
two thirty three on average. And when there's successful if
they choose to who they can choose to play until
they're like forty to forty five years old. Let's go
over some pitchers who are pitching in their forties. Charlie Morton, Verlander, Surezer,
(12:16):
rich Hill. Other former players would include like I think
Jamie Morior pitched. He's a forty seven forty eight Marion Rivera,
just to name a few, quite frankly. At the hence
pitching it being an eternal the they and then hitters
(12:39):
they they end up retiring earlier than pitchers. Anyways, the
average MLB retirement age when you include those who have
successful careers or not, it's usually around age thirty. But
the players you don't really know about why it's they
It is kind of how it be now if players
want to not players, but if teams want go over
(13:00):
the salary cap, I suggest a system where you have
or they could go over. Actually, if you have a
traded for a rental player. Rental has to be in
definition of having that player for point five like half
a season, two year and a half. If you have
a player for a half a season due to a
(13:22):
trade and you're over the salary cap because of that,
you can offer that player a one year contract. Otherwise
they have to go to a different team because you're
over the salary cap. And the salary cap should also
only be for the on field or in dugout players,
not the coaches, managers, just the players. The current contracts
(13:43):
get grandfathered in to everything, so that way that can
eventually just kind of weed itself out. That's how I
would do it for a salary cap makes sense to me.
I don't know if it makes sense for reals, but
please let us know. Anyways, let the NLCS. You have
(14:07):
the Dodgers who have a billion dollar payroll Milwaukee. When
you have a the deferred money that they do, you're
looking at about one hundred and twenty million, let's just
call it that. And when you have a healthy super team,
because LA is a super team unless they're hurt, which
when they're hurt, they don't have a superteam. They if
(14:31):
they're healthy and they're just clicking. They're just going to
win ball games. You're not going to stop them. You
just have to bend over and pray and hope for
the best. However, that play in the NLCS game one, oh,
like that double play, wol You're never gonna see that
thing that was neat the Grand Slam taken away except bobbled.
(14:52):
So therefore accounts as a standard hit or in playball,
freelick catches it loses. This hack gives a look where
it's hair is like all over the place. It's kind
of cool. I actually created memes and those are jury
or teased over a short because those of contrast for
the force out. Contrast then takes the ball to like himself.
(15:15):
He brings over to third for the force out there
for that double play. Baseball is so weird and cool.
There's a lot of numbers in a lot of money
beat right now because no salary cap salar cap. Oh,
I'm mentioning a pay stuff. You also have the luxury tax.
So how I would do the luxury taxes instead of
(15:36):
having a set dollar amount, just say the top five
teams no matter what season they're at, the like for
a payroll. Because of the salary cap have to pay
that luxury tax, so therefore no one can avoid it.
But it's only the top five payrolls of any given season.
I have to pay it. Now, teams pay some average
(16:02):
team pays. I like to say somewhere between forty let's
called forty five percent to fifty two percent of their
revenue is what they spend on the players each year.
And that and then when they have again, you have
to factor all that stuff and frow the owners make
their money. And then the article from Poissan that had
(16:32):
mentioned the NLCS, essentially, if Milwaukee were to come back
and win, the players can use that saying there is
a it's all based off a strategy to win the playoffs.
While if LA wins, you can just point your finger like, hey,
we need salar caps, salar cap, salard cap, salary cap
act all the fan As I said, the fans want
salary cap, most of them. Anyways, if you're an LA fan,
(16:54):
you probably don't want it. But that's pre real, like
the salary cap folk fraying teams that want the salary cap,
and it's going to be all the teams, that's not
the Mets in LA. Uh. Now, if you spend incorrectly.
When you're at the bomb portions of the payroll, you're
going to be floundering because you have you spend money
(17:19):
in the wrong areas. Quite frankly, like let's look at Pittsburgh.
They spent money in the wrong areas. They're not supporting
Paul Skins. They're four the area you're wasting his career in.
Paul Skins going to win his first sign young and
he's probably gonna win another like several. He's probably going
up in the Hall of Fame at this right because
of how Grady is is the pitcher. He's the best
(17:39):
picture in the league with schools, the best pitcher in
the AL. Can't really yeah, gah, support your guy Paul
Skins or trade them. And actually, if you trade them,
you can get like somewhere between like seven and nine
seven nine, seven and ten prospects for Paul's skeins right
(18:01):
now if you're to trade them, so Pittsburgh trade them,
you can help out your franchise lot unless you just
trade them for pennies on the dollar. In that case,
you're just gonna piss off your fans even more. Your
choice if you only want to do that and I
also read it online circles. Actually read online circles. You
(18:21):
can tell who knows what they're talking about, who doesn't
know what the hell they're talking about because they barely
watch the games, don't really follow much, and which people haven't.
I think they have a rough idea of what they're missing.
But you can't really avoid it when players get hurt
after the trade deadline, like let's say a number one
started like Woodrooff getting hurt at the end of the season,
or if let's say you have like it's necessary bats
(18:44):
for playoff runs that get injured like at the end
of the season, can't avoid it. So what's missing for
Milwaukee's playoff run is like Woodruff and a power bat
that hits like two seventy eighty for bad average per year.
But when you have the thirty plus ho warns with
that batting average, your oldps is probably gonna be somewhere
(19:04):
between like nine hundred and just over one thousand. Kind
of need one of those bats. Those are the two
things Milwaukee is missing because of Woodrift being out until
at least World Series, if they were to pull off
a miracle and beat La and if Seattle like holds
on to the ALCS and goes against LA. Then you're
looking at two thousand and one World Series situation where
(19:27):
if Seattle beats the four ace team in LA, then
that's a miracle and a half in baseball, because that's
not supposed to happen. I hope it does. I'm I'll
be completely biased here. I like all the small and
mid market teams. When it comes to like the large
markets like the Yankees and the Dodgers, I don't really
(19:50):
like them that much because they oftentimes just buy championship
since not cool. When they have a salary cap on
there and you have back to back championships, it becomes
more cool because you actually have to work for You
have to like figure out how to construct the roster
within the luxury like not luxury text, but the salary
cap and how you do all the other finances. Now,
(20:12):
if you want to discuss owners wanting new stadiums, I
think all stadiums should be privately funded. But it's neither
here or there. And before I sign off, the some
prairie community band, which is totally off topic, but I
told the ensemble I'm on the board as well though,
(20:35):
that I would sure that we have a concert coming
up at Central Heights Middle School and Some Prairie at
their auditorium, free concert. All are welcome to come. We
encourage it. The one of the things we're doing is
Bohemian Rhapsody, and when you're part of a community ensemble,
it's quite enjoyable. Musical and sports when they have their
(20:58):
when you look at the muscles and organs used, they
use the same stuff. Just you can do music until
you're on your deathbed. Well, sports you can do until
your joints just start turning into dust, like non functional,
which is why I do mostly music stuff. We do
(21:22):
three concerts in the summer around the park. We do
the spring and fall concerts at Central eight S Middle
School and then we do a over at some at
some Prairie West. We have a joint concert with the
Community Acchoir for like a just like a winter Christmas
type of concert, and the groups do a pretty good job.
(21:48):
If you go on the YouTube page, you have like
obviously you have the Glenwood Moravian Trombone Choir stuff that
I share around there, but you also have a playlist
on that I created that shows pieces that I've played
with the sun Pre Community band On if you wanted
to check those out. Otherwise, if you want to reach us,
(22:10):
you can contact us on Twitter or x however you
want to call it at Let's Chat Bet. Let's chat
bet at gmail dot com. If you want to email us,
join the Facebook community group. If you join the discord,
cool we can. We'll love to have activity there too.
You can follow the Facebook announcement page and well, yeah,
(22:39):
you can listen on YouTube. You can listen to us
at the three major platforms of iHeart, Spotify, Apple. If
you download, it helps us out quite a bit. If
you subscribe on YouTube, that does help. When you just
listen and don't download or subscribe, it's hard for traction
(23:02):
to build, as if things get bigger from that stuff,
then more people are going to listen. It just grows
more and then you can grow a little community around
this stuff. So we'd appreciate it and know that some
Prairie community and would appreciate it. If anyone who is
able to go to some Prairie, Wisconsin for the Central
(23:26):
It's Middle School three pm concert, they'd appreciate it. Until
next time, Bye,
This is new me talking before the intro music starts. Eh,
what are you gonna do? Is gonna be one of
those days, I guess, So basically before the music starts.

over some pitchers who are pitching in their forties. Charlie Morton, Verlander, Surezer,
(12:16):
rich Hill. Other former players would include like I think
Jamie Morior pitched. He's a forty seven forty eight Marion Rivera,
just to name a few, quite frankly. At the hence
pitching it being an eternal the they and then hitters
(12:39):
they they end up retiring earlier than pitchers. Anyways, the
average MLB retirement age when you include those who have
successful careers or not, it's usually around age thirty. But
the players you don't really know about why it's they
It is kind of how it be now if players
want to not players, but if teams want go over
(13:00):
the salary cap, I suggest a system where you have
or they could go over. Actually, if you have a
traded for a rental player. Rental has to be in
definition of having that player for point five like half
a season, two year and a half. If you have
a player for a half a season due to a
(13:22):
trade and you're over the salary cap because of that,
you can offer that player a one year contract. Otherwise
they have to go to a different team because you're
over the salary cap. And the salary cap should also
only be for the on field or in dugout players,
not the coaches, managers, just the players. The current contracts
(13:43):
get grandfathered in to everything, so that way that can
eventually just kind of weed itself out. That's how I
would do it for a salary cap makes sense to me.
I don't know if it makes sense for reals, but
please let us know. Anyways, let the NLCS. You have
(14:07):
the Dodgers who have a billion dollar payroll Milwaukee. When
you have a the deferred money that they do, you're
looking at about one hundred and twenty million, let's just
call it that. And when you have a healthy super team,
because LA is a super team unless they're hurt, which
when they're hurt, they don't have a superteam. They if
(14:31):
they're healthy and they're just clicking. They're just going to
win ball games. You're not going to stop them. You
just have to bend over and pray and hope for
the best. However, that play in the NLCS game one, oh,
like that double play, wol You're never gonna see that
thing that was neat the Grand Slam taken away except bobbled.
(14:52):
So therefore accounts as a standard hit or in playball,
freelick catches it loses. This hack gives a look where
it's hair is like all over the place. It's kind
of cool. I actually created memes and those are jury
or teased over a short because those of contrast for
the force out. Contrast then takes the ball to like himself.
(15:15):
He brings over to third for the force out there
for that double play. Baseball is so weird and cool.
There's a lot of numbers in a lot of money
beat right now because no salary cap salar cap. Oh,
I'm mentioning a pay stuff. You also have the luxury tax.
So how I would do the luxury taxes instead of
(15:36):
having a set dollar amount, just say the top five
teams no matter what season they're at, the like for
a payroll. Because of the salary cap have to pay
that luxury tax, so therefore no one can avoid it.
But it's only the top five payrolls of any given season.
I have to pay it. Now, teams pay some average
(16:02):
team pays. I like to say somewhere between forty let's
called forty five percent to fifty two percent of their
revenue is what they spend on the players each year.
And that and then when they have again, you have
to factor all that stuff and frow the owners make
their money. And then the article from Poissan that had
(16:32):
mentioned the NLCS, essentially, if Milwaukee were to come back
and win, the players can use that saying there is
a it's all based off a strategy to win the playoffs.
While if LA wins, you can just point your finger like, hey,
we need salar caps, salar cap, salard cap, salary cap
act all the fan As I said, the fans want
salary cap, most of them. Anyways, if you're an LA fan,
(16:54):
you probably don't want it. But that's pre real, like
the salary cap folk fraying teams that want the salary cap,
and it's going to be all the teams, that's not
the Mets in LA. Uh. Now, if you spend incorrectly.
When you're at the bomb portions of the payroll, you're
going to be floundering because you have you spend money
(17:19):
in the wrong areas. Quite frankly, like let's look at Pittsburgh.
They spent money in the wrong areas. They're not supporting
Paul Skins. They're four the area you're wasting his career in.
Paul Skins going to win his first sign young and
he's probably gonna win another like several. He's probably going
up in the Hall of Fame at this right because
of how Grady is is the pitcher. He's the best
(17:39):
picture in the league with schools, the best pitcher in
the AL. Can't really yeah, gah, support your guy Paul
Skins or trade them. And actually, if you trade them,
you can get like somewhere between like seven and nine
seven nine, seven and ten prospects for Paul's skeins right
(18:01):
now if you're to trade them, so Pittsburgh trade them,
you can help out your franchise lot unless you just
trade them for pennies on the dollar. In that case,
you're just gonna piss off your fans even more. Your
choice if you only want to do that and I
also read it online circles. Actually read online circles. You
(18:21):
can tell who knows what they're talking about, who doesn't
know what the hell they're talking about because they barely
watch the games, don't really follow much, and which people haven't.
I think they have a rough idea of what they're missing.
But you can't really avoid it when players get hurt
after the trade deadline, like let's say a number one
started like Woodrooff getting hurt at the end of the season,
or if let's say you have like it's necessary bats
(18:44):
for playoff runs that get injured like at the end
of the season, can't avoid it. So what's missing for
Milwaukee's playoff run is like Woodruff and a power bat
that hits like two seventy eighty for bad average per year.
But when you have the thirty plus ho warns with
that batting average, your oldps is probably gonna be somewhere
(19:04):
between like nine hundred and just over one thousand. Kind
of need one of those bats. Those are the two
things Milwaukee is missing because of Woodrift being out until
at least World Series, if they were to pull off
a miracle and beat La and if Seattle like holds
on to the ALCS and goes against LA. Then you're
looking at two thousand and one World Series situation where
(19:27):
if Seattle beats the four ace team in LA, then
that's a miracle and a half in baseball, because that's
not supposed to happen. I hope it does. I'm I'll
be completely biased here. I like all the small and
mid market teams. When it comes to like the large
markets like the Yankees and the Dodgers, I don't really
(19:50):
like them that much because they oftentimes just buy championship
since not cool. When they have a salary cap on
there and you have back to back championships, it becomes
more cool because you actually have to work for You
have to like figure out how to construct the roster
within the luxury like not luxury text, but the salary
cap and how you do all the other finances. Now,
(20:12):
if you want to discuss owners wanting new stadiums, I
think all stadiums should be privately funded. But it's neither
here or there. And before I sign off, the some
prairie community band, which is totally off topic, but I
told the ensemble I'm on the board as well though,
(20:35):
that I would sure that we have a concert coming
up at Central Heights Middle School and Some Prairie at
their auditorium, free concert. All are welcome to come. We
encourage it. The one of the things we're doing is
Bohemian Rhapsody, and when you're part of a community ensemble,
it's quite enjoyable. Musical and sports when they have their
(20:58):
when you look at the muscles and organs used, they
use the same stuff. Just you can do music until
you're on your deathbed. Well, sports you can do until
your joints just start turning into dust, like non functional,
which is why I do mostly music stuff. We do
(21:22):
three concerts in the summer around the park. We do
the spring and fall concerts at Central eight S Middle
School and then we do a over at some at
some Prairie West. We have a joint concert with the
Community Acchoir for like a just like a winter Christmas
type of concert, and the groups do a pretty good job.
(21:48):
If you go on the YouTube page, you have like
obviously you have the Glenwood Moravian Trombone Choir stuff that
I share around there, but you also have a playlist
on that I created that shows pieces that I've played
with the sun Pre Community band On if you wanted
to check those out. Otherwise, if you want to reach us,
(22:10):
you can contact us on Twitter or x however you
want to call it at Let's Chat Bet. Let's chat
bet at gmail dot com. If you want to email us,
join the Facebook community group. If you join the discord,
cool we can. We'll love to have activity there too.
You can follow the Facebook announcement page and well, yeah,
(22:39):
you can listen on YouTube. You can listen to us
at the three major platforms of iHeart, Spotify, Apple. If
you download, it helps us out quite a bit. If
you subscribe on YouTube, that does help. When you just
listen and don't download or subscribe, it's hard for traction
(23:02):
to build, as if things get bigger from that stuff,
then more people are going to listen. It just grows
more and then you can grow a little community around
this stuff. So we'd appreciate it and know that some
Prairie community and would appreciate it. If anyone who is
able to go to some Prairie, Wisconsin for the Central
(23:26):
It's Middle School three pm concert, they'd appreciate it. Until
next time, Bye,
