1. with Glavinesque control and Madduxian poise Posted: November 30, 2021 at 08:26 PM (#6055467)Gee, how was that even possible? Weren't there days in which more than two games were going on at the same time...?
I really doubt the players care. Unless the balls were distributed in a systematically biased way, who cares?
Well this certainly is going to raise suspicions that they did. From the BI article, a player responds:
It probably didn't happen, but the mere appearance of potential impropriety seems really bad.
To the contrary, their new betting partners might be enthusiastic about it--as long as they get to know in advance which balls are going to which games.
They already get advance notice of the official starting lineups before they're publicly posted and I suspect they already have a hand in rewriting the rule book as I can't imagine why the rule on protests was so quietly rewritten last offseason except that the minuscule chance of a protested game isn't good business for Big Gambling when the game isn't really over when it's over and they can't close their books on it right away. At this point, I wouldn't put any level of appeasement of gambling interests past Rob Manfred if he thinks he can turn a buck on it.
