You hit it
Emotions is the key to this whole dynamic.
I think everyone who reads this board sympathizes with the MiLB guys. Our hearts go out to them for trying to improve the lives of those who come afterward. Now THEY must get together and put their HEADS on tight.
Many others have written very lengthy threads about understanding the REALITY of the entire situation. People who are much older and wiser have voiced their opinions about the state of affairs between PBUC and AMLU.
Does AMLU think they have a right to STOP the game? I can easily believe that each minor league team has several bull-pen catchers with NO shot at making it up a level. If your place is in management and the GAME MUST GO ON, do you not ask them to call balls and strikes? Management can easily fill the 230 SPOTS with ex-D1 pitchers and catchers. They may not know the rules, but they can call ball/strike or safe/out. I'm sure there would be a long line of other candidates, as well. I am sure they would ALL love the opportunity to eject a COACH from a ballgame.
I suggest the AMLU members start breaking their game plan down. I hope they are not looking for any late inning MAGIC. It looks like they will have to manufacture more than a single run to win this GAME. They are up against one hell of an organiztion.
Best wishes,
