It's true in some sense that the proof is in the pudding. However, it is possible to criticize the decision to strike, on the grounds that the AMLU has insufficient leverage over MiLB to make a strike work. They knew this (or should have known it) ahead of the decision to strike. This is the reason that many around baseball have criticized the leadership of the AMLU: they were either rash or ignorant (or both), neither of these being valuable qualities in leadership.
An outcome favorable to the AMLU is still possible, but unlikely, just as it was before the strike. We can all hope for the best, but the decision to strike was still a poor one, even with a favorable outcome.
