My working theory is he’s a gambling addict in deep
“what’s a no-fail way to make us lose, i got bookies to pay”
My fun little theory is that Greup and Co. would love nothing more than for the team to take another WC spot over the division this year because it would mean more postseason ticket sales/revenue
This is probably right
Do they get that much of a cut of the road gate? Only the best WC and worst champs get to host any games, and the Cubs are walking away...
At the bare minimum, they would host (and sell tickets for) watch parties at the ballpark during which they'd sell ballpark-priced merch and concessions. To be clear, I said this is my fun little theory and haven't had my tinfoil hat fitted yet, but, nothing about this org would surprise me, so
Well no avoiding it, at this point if they do pull off a division title I think it'll mean the West is the worst division, so wild card games are in play. Given the road/home splits, it'd be really, really nice to shoot for that or the top wild slot...but my less fun little theory is they're cooked
My brain cannot comprehend Mike Shildt honestly
