New York Daily News | Matthew Roberson: We’re officially in a lockout, and perhaps the biggest problem facing the health of the sport is the attitude of the owner’s representative. Rob Manfred has been nothing short of a clown in the early stages of this work stoppage — whatever you think about the MLBPA, Manfred’s “letter to baseball fans” reeks of insincerity and condescension. This is the first MLB work stoppage in the social media age, meaning fans are more visible and plugged in than ever; the league can’t try and pretend like the consumer base is stupid.
