Nothing but respect for Murphy. He can take a few more days off for all I care. His job or his salary are completely irrelevant.

He did the right thing, but I also kinda feel like the team should be able to not pay him for those games.

The cba covers this. And allows it.

My Dad was in training camp with the football Cardinals so my Mom traveled home to Tennessee to give birth to me. hashtag Oldskool

Training camp was in Tennessee? That's old school - let's find a place hotter and more miserable than Missouri in July to have training camp.

Training camp was in Lake Forest, Illinois. Mom grew up in Tennessee.

I take 2 weeks off every time we have a baby, it is allowed by law for me to do so. I would never miss the birth of my children, the most amazing moments of my life. No, the Mets should not be able to not pay him, this isn't 1950. My Dad was in the Marine Corps when my sister was born in 1969, the Naval hospital in Virginia sent my dad home while my mother gave birth, times sure have changed, for the better.

Yes, that's exactly what I meant. Thanks for clarifying for me.

I did not mean to not be clear, clearly I was not being not clear.
