LilKitKat's Second Cumming Thread šŸ’¦

Um, what???

šŸ¤”

No ā€œoffenseā€, but your ā€œdefenseā€ of MLB’s salary "rules" and the Dodger’s (and Yankees, etc) exploitation (violation?) of said "rules" is a bit whacked.

If you want to get into the weeds about the changes to salary cap rules, player trades, and free agency rules over the years in the various major sports leagues (and even college sports, with transfers, etc), and how certain big market teams (and some big name players) exploited / evaded said rules, you will have to make that journey alone. I lived through it and have had faaaaar too many debates about it.

😳

I WOULD say the NFL currently has it just about right with their salary & free agency rules (and the draft)! as far as competitive balance is concerned - and the results bear that out.

šŸ‘
Ok Ill try to rephrase/elaborate:

Every team owner has the ability to spend as much as they want and/or can. There is nothing stopping the smaller market teams from spending money. They can make better offers to players. They dont. They pocket the money.
Dont get me wrong, I also know the "bigger name" players would likely prefer to be in a bigger market because of outsiode sponsorships and commercials and whatever. And dont get me wrong, I know some citiers/teams make way more money than others. The Dodgers supposedly earned the entirety of Shohei's 700m contract in his first season. Insane.

Anyway, this is also true with basketball and there is a cap. The perennial good teams are active and spend money, hire better coaches, and so on. When is the last time these teams were top 4 teams: The Kings. Pelicans. Hornets. Hawks. Blazers. Jazz. Wizards...they rarely are. Because they dont spend, they dont draft well usually, they dont hire good coaches, they are cheap owners in general. But yes, certain orgs are just more attractive based on history or outside opportunities or the culture of the city or whatever. I get that in general a player might prefer to be on the Lakers or Mavs or Sixers vs the Wizards or Jazz etc. But go out and spend and change history if you are invested. Look what Ballmer has done with the Clippers vs Donald Sterling. Make legit decent moves and try to win. The Thunder figured it out and that not a "desirable" place as compared to NY or Miami or LA.

But I also said that until two years ago, when the Dodgers had their run in 2017, 18 and 2020, they had a lot of homegrown players...they didnt go out and acquire big players by spending money per se...or not as much. They usually went and acquired one big pitcher. But Kershaw was homegrown, Walker Buehler was homegrown. Kenley Jansen was. Seager was homegrown. Bellinger was homegrown. And they have a terrific farm system so they trade lots of up and comers for bigger name players. They arent just acquiring free agents all over. And when they are, it goes to my first point...you want Ohtani or Blake Snell or someone? Make an offer. Toronto, San Diego etc were in the running for Ohtani, or Yamamoto. Corbin Burnes was a Brewer, then an Oriole and then chose the DBacks. Skubal is a Tiger. Skenes is a Pirate (for now). Pay to keep them. Or dont.
 
I love your thread kit and you’re a gem but on this we can disagree, the larger markets get way more tv revenue to spend so without a salary cap like football and even basketball (although it’s a bit skewed bc you can go into the luxury tax w money to spend) it’ll never be a level field for small market teams.
The smaller market owner like the brewers owners probably spend more of their own money to try and be competitive then the big market owners.

the Dodgers earned an estimated $752 million in local TV revenue, while the Brewers earned about $35 million.
That makes it hard to compete without some sort of salary cap šŸ¤”
 
I don’t follow baseball as closely anymore living in Ireland. However, the luxury tax they have means there basically isn't one as the richer teams will happily pay the luxury tax.
Mark my words though, there's probably going to be a lockout soon as many owners want a salary cap. Could even lose a whole season because of it.

All I can say is: Enjoy your Dodgers; but don’t expect others to ignore the giant elephant in the room.

šŸ‘

MLB today is basically the Harlem Globetrotters vs the Washington Generals.

It isn’t a serious competitive league. And it doesn’t even pretend there is a level playing field.

The ā€œDavid vs Goliathā€ narratives are nice though…

Good afternoon, Kit and fans.
My day was quiet.
I did laundry this morning. I did other errands this afternoon and our traditional stereotypical Seattle weather is starting.
šŸ’šŸ’šŸ’ for hostess
 
Bahahah covid and flu shots?in 2025 ...that's some real low IQd stuff right there your an embarrassment to humanity you post humans jabtards ...you have seriously no brains at all I love how all the murderous lefties are vaccinated your all gonna die talk about stupid ...ha ha ..enjoy moron!!
My god you are boring
 
I did. Insane!
But a boring sprint otherwise since half of it was under safety car.
Qualifying was certainly interesting. Not sure if McLaren's pace difference between SQ3 and Q3 was due to the repairs made to both cars, or if the track changed that much in the 24 his between sessions. Would have been nice to see their sprint race pace though.
Oh 100% was boring AF

What the hell was Stroll doing when ge took pit Ocon šŸ˜†
Stevie Wonder could have seen that wasn't a gap he could go for. Someone seriously needs to interrogate Lawrence in why Lance keeps getting contracts because this is ridiculous.
Not quite the type of hard banging we like to start the race. McLaren has been their own worst enemy the last couple of weeks. šŸ¤¦šŸ»ā€ā™‚ļø
I'm not even sure you can blame Piastri for that. Maybe a slight lack of judgement to make that move in the first turn of the race, knowing how that corner can be for contact but there's no way anyone could have expected to get launched sideways the way he did.
 
Good morning everyone. I hope you all have a great day today!

I received a few requests via dms

1. "A weird random photo with no context please." Haha...took me a minute to find something but this certainly suffices:

2. "Another with that lingerie from yesterday." Ok, heres one. I was looking up instead of the cam so I look cross-eyed or just a lil odd but enjoy...

3. A "repost of my shower video". Easily accomplished!

Fuck I just finished nutting in my wife and now I'm hard again. Are you ready for round 2
 
Another angry jabbed lefty ..oh well .used to it by now .. tik tok !! Make the most of your much shorter lives ..no time to be angry ..take lots of zinc ,vit C,turmeric olive leaf extract ...will never remove the permanent turbo cancer, clot shots but will at least help destroy the spike proteins a "little" ...time to research the jabs kids !!!!....should have done some basic research ....but hard to ask of people who still think big mike is a lady I guess šŸ¤¦šŸ¼ā€ā™‚ļø...only covid vaxxed people are lobotomized enough to still be taking covid shots in 2025 ...that's the total definition of stupidity and ignorance ....sad really .....same souless DNA changed people cheered for Kirk's assassination ....evil creeps !.....the jab is cleansing this world from the stupid evil ones ....
Wow.. you seem like quite the ass

May have missed something being in different timezones to most USA peeps here... what does having covid jabs got to do with anything? The stupidity is coming from your words so imma guess you didnt have one? So maybe its killing off more of your braincells than you know... Some need to still be taking them for various medical reasons, my grandad parents are both 75+ and without those shots they wouldn't have the immense system to fight it off... I think you need to do more research than read outta some magazine highlight ..

Anyhow, the negativity and confrontational energy you're breeding is bring down the overlal mood of the thread. Politely reccomend you to go crawl back under your rock and stop disturbing the good times here
 
Gutted for Ferrari in Quali, up there in top 4 in Q2 but dropped down in Q3?!!
I think Max has today in the bag tbh but hopefully Lando can close those championship points
 
Stevie Wonder could have seen that wasn't a gap he could go for. Someone seriously needs to interrogate Lawrence in why Lance keeps getting contracts because this is ridiculous.
Yeah... wasn't stupid as hell.
There must be a point where you see your son isn't contributing to the sport but recognising how new safety features should be built into the car haha
 
Except the red sox. John Henry treats the sox like an ATM to fund Liverpool. I want a new owner.
Liverpool probably makes him more money though. But yeah, that sucks.
I think that happens a lot for owners who own multiple clubs in different sports. The Glazers took all of United's money to fund the Buccaneers. So much so that when United tour in the USA, they dont let them play at Raymond James Stadium to see how good the Bucs have it.

I'm a Liverpool fan, so I've seen us have low transfer spend seasons that have worked out pretty well, and investment in Anfield has only improved our income and value. I've not idea how trading costs and wages works in baseball though. I think the different income streams in the PL and European football will be much more profitable. There are rumours of FSG investing in Toulouse from France and there's a lot of resistance to a multi club model.

In general I agree, but also...who had the highest payroll for baseball this year?

The Mets

Didnt make the playoffs

3rd highest? Yankees. Got humiliated by the Toronto Blue Jays.
Toronto is a huge city but in general they are a middle of the road team. But they spent money (5th highest payroll) and wow, in the final four.

But ok, if its only the biggest market, then explain the Royals who won about 10 years ago. If its only franchises with history thene xplain the Florida Marlins. Or how Tampa Bay made it a few times recently. How
The Cardinals have the history, but its a midwestern city with not a lot of media exposure as compared to NY/LA etc and yet have won it all recently.
Being in huge market helps, spending money helps but nothing is ever guaranteed.
People are just upset that the "rich got richer" with the Dodgers in terms of talent but they put it all back in the team instead of their own pockets.
Nobody likes a winner to keep winning. Theats why the most popular teams in each sport are also the most hated (Cowboys. The Chiefs now. The Patriots a few years ago. Duke. The Lakers. The Yankees. The Dodgers. Man U and Real Madrid...)
 
Good day beautiful Kit šŸ˜
I missed my morning post, wasn't feeling well, better now though.
Hope you have a lovely Sunday.
Also, I hope yesterday's troll just goes away.
((HUGGLES)) 😘
