Could you be friends with someone who has completely opposite politics?

The bottom line is if you're telling a story, you're not playing the game. Roleplay can and should be rewarded... With XP, bonuses or advantage, or in some other way. It does not however change the game into a campfire tale.

Critical Role's Brennan Lee Mulligan ditched D&D's dice in Campaign 4: no roll needed because a PC monologue was "too good." Performance now overrides actual gameplay. This isn't D&D. It's scripted celebrity theater pretending to be gaming. They. Don't Really. Play.

I appreciate all of the responses to this post. Here's the thing: I don't think the players will ever agree to a salary cap, nor do I think the owners will agree to a realistic salary floor that addresses the concerns of any fan base that wants to win, or retain its young stars. The NHL salary cap is $104 million next season, and the salary cap floor will be $76.9 million. That's a difference of $27.1 million. Let's say the players agree to a $300 million salary cap. I mean, they won't, but let's just say they do. The realistic salary floor, using the NHL model, would have to be $273 million. Let's say the players agree to the cap; they are never going to agree to a floor that's below $200 million. Currently, there are only 10 teams that are spending above $200 million. I would say, sure, I'm for a salary cap of $300 million and a salary floor of $200 million, which seems like a fair compromise. But the players are never going to go for that, and the owners are never going to go for that either. I'm certainly open to hearing other folks' opinions on this, but I don't see a world where we play baseball in 2027 without a seismic change by either side.

Terry Francona on what he saw from Will Benson on his at-bat in the 9th. “He hit a home run. And again, the idea was that Erceg has had some walks so the hope was Will could find a way either to get on or get a hit. I mean, obviously the home run is awesome, but I don’t know if that’s what you’re really expecting.”
