SamuraiJock Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 Just lovely to have some games to watch with fans in the ground again. Watching Cubs v Pirates just now - Pirates will be awful but not sure what the Cubbies will be like this year. I'd guess whoever wins the NLC will still be mediocre and get bashed in the playoffs by one of the properly strong teams 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
placidcasual Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 Same old Mets. DeGrom throws 6 scoreless, even gets a couple of hits and an rbi. Turn it over to the bullpen and they implode [emoji1787] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boo Khaki Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 Looks like a sore one for Tatis Jr. Only positive is getting an extended look at Kim if he's out for a while. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boo Khaki Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 Pads just recorded their first No-No in franchise history. I'm absolutely stoked. This is one of the few things in a sporting context that I'd always wondered about and hoped would happen in my lifetime. Small beer in the bigger scheme of things, but it's been bugging me for years and years. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cowshed Chris Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 Opening day is brilliant. Watching the Phillies and Braves go to extra innings with this nonsense man starting on second base rule is rubbish. The DRS of baseball. Must admit I don't have a problem with this rule at all. I do, however, have major issues with the three batter rule and I'm not fond of the 7 inning double headers either.I was originally completely against the NL DH until last year when my position changed completely. Now pitchers are hitting again I'm back to square one - the tactical aspect and having pitchers that can handle the bat really does make a difference and keeps things interesting. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arab_joe Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 Decent start to the season for the Giants - if it was not for an incredible collapse from 6-1 up in the 8th inning on day one then "we" (I'm not sure if my attendance at one game in 2018 allows me such familiarity, but there you go...) would be sitting 7-2. Brandon Crawford looking very good - long may it continue. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't mind the changes they've made but I'll be gutted if they do away with the pitcher's spot in the line up in the NL. As much for the history of it, but like you say it adds a totally different tactical aspect. I'd also have missed probably my favourite moment in baseball...... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cubs team hitting so far this year .163/.254/.307 - likely a little bit of bad luck in there, but i'm suddenly glad we don't have these guys locked up on long extensions and looking forward to trading them all away at the deadline Edited April 16, 2021 by SamuraiJock 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worth every pound, 162 games and any playoff games for £118 this year, I treat it like a TiVo box, tonight's game (Yankees) is early (6.05PM), I'll watch it live either on my TV, tablet or computer. If its a mid evening (UK time) I'll mostly watch, later games ? I just watch in the morning or first available time. If I'm at aloss, I'll just call up another game.. Only thing I will say, on the TV, you'll mostly get the MLB Flashbacks during the regular advert breaks, feckin' annoying . If I use my computer Chrome with Ad-block, normally its a blue screen instead. You get choices of broadcaster, home or away and choice of radio feeds as well. unless it's a ESPN or whatever game Might be worthwhile creating an account, watching the free game a couple of times and then not, I got a cheap deal the first year I used it Edited April 18, 2021 by Bob in Denny forgot stuff 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mind you, as a Cubs fan it's great because the Cubs play so many afternoon games so I get to see lots of their games live in the evenings, so not sure if it would be as worthwhile if you were (say) a Dodgers fan. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm retired but I still like my beauty sleep, unless it a playoff game.. I just catch up whenever...when I worked, I caught up most evenings. I don't mange all the games but I can get the wrap if needed, I'm terrible for checking the score though...plus the Yanks have stated like dung... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks gents,I like the look of the package just wasn't sure if there were any glitches associated with a Scottish location instead of being US based. I've enjoyed BTs coverage the last couple of seasons,the only thing that pissed me off for no rational reason was their insistence on showing the Braves every other game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David W Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 I'm another one in the MLB.tv camp. With the app on a SMART TV it's basically like having a TV channel with all of the games on at whatever time I want to view them. On another note, it's absolutely hilarious to see the Yankees sitting with the second worst record in the baseball just now. It won't last so I'll enjoy it whilst I can. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
