The job of a Major League Baseball General Manager is a study in complexity. There are skill sets that require years of immersion to obtain. Responsibilities are abundant. Performance expectations are of the highest magnitude. And, the baseball world is now a 24/7/365 experience. If you wish to find a job with, ”Burnout” written all over it, the GM job is just the ticket. It’s worth a peek under the hood to see some of what is involved.
We recently upgraded our comment system to improve reliability, performance, and long-term control, and we’re currently running both systems during the transition. This shift moves us away from an external service to a system we run and control directly—meaning we own the content and can continue improving it over time. We’ve also reduced the comment refresh delay from about 30 seconds to 10 seconds, making it much closer to real-time.
We understand there have been frustrations and increased feedback, and we’re actively working to improve things. What we ask is simple: use the system and give it a fair shot. If you run into issues, please submit them through the support form so we can track and fix them properly. Repeated complaints without details don’t help us solve problems—we appreciate your patience as we continue refining the experience.
