Playing in empty stadiums will minimize the value of home field advantage

I think it's going to minimize the value of home field. Generally you get a lot of adrenaline and momentum when you're coming back in a game or when you're in a big situation and your home crowd is going crazy. So it's going to kind of level that out.

The MLB owners did irreparable damage to the sport by making the labor negotiations a public fight

Where everyone messed up is that the first thing that the owners did was make it a public fight... It's about getting the best deal this year and doing irreparable damage the sport. There's going to be a lot of people that just won't watch baseball for the next X amount of years because they're so mad.

Scott Boras effectively runs the MLB players' union

He [Scott Boras] can plead ignorance all he wants... he makes all sorts of ridiculous claims about... it doesn't matter which agency you're actually with, I run the union [MLBPA] anyways, you're going to have to deal with me.

I am a better pitcher than Curt Schilling was through age 28

I find it really fun to just position a position where like you're [Curt Schilling] either worse than me or you have to admit that advanced stuff matters. I'm better than him with certain regular stats at this point in my career through 28 years old.

The rumor that Jose Altuve wore a vibrating buzzer to steal signs is likely true

I've heard that rumor and I have no first-hand knowledge of it. I'll say that but I've heard that rumor from three independent people that don't know each other around baseball and generally speaking when you hear it from multiple sources that aren't in the same facility... it's true.

The Astros are not the only MLB team that uses technology to illegally steal signs

I don't think it's just the Astros. I think there's other teams doing something similar or the same or the Astros were just the team that everyone kind of knew about. I think that's it.
