Proxy Guide for MLB.TV!

To get around the obnoxious blackout restrictions you can use a proxy during the sign in process for MLB.TV. Once you have gotten past the "verifying geographical location" step when you're loading up a game you can shut it off. Chrome and Firefox instructions are below.


Chrome
1.) Install the Proxy Switchy! Extension for Chrome: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/caehdcpeofiiigpdhbabniblemipncjj

2.) After you've installed it there will be a nice little globe to the right of the address bar:


3.)Click the globe then Options. This will bring up the screen below. In profile name type something (I use MLB but it really doesn't matter!).


4.) Get a proxy from here (http://www.proxy-list.org/en/index.php) and select SSL and Anonymous + Elite under type. Make sure you enter you the captcha phrase after scrolling down (see screenshot) and then click enter. Look for sites with 100% uptime.

Results:


5.) After you have the ip address you need and port number enter it under HTTPS Proxy & Port then click save. Make sure your options look exactly like this screenshot (besides the ip address/port)


6.) Click on the globe at the top right and select MLB or whatever your called the profile name.


7.) To see if the proxy is working browse to https://www.google.com. If Google comes up, yay! Otherwise, you'll get the error message below and you'll need to try a different proxy


8.) Log on to http://mlb.mlb.com/mediacenter and try to open your game. If you get a technical error or it times out the proxy you're using isn't working. Try another. Other than that should pop right up.

9.) After you're done logging on/have the game started you should click on the globe again to hit "direct connection" so your internet isn't going through some unknown proxy.




Firefox

1.) Install the FoxyProxy Extension (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/foxyproxy-standard/?src=hp-dl-featured)

2.) After you install it you'll have a nice little fox between your address bar and search bar


3.) Get a proxy from here (http://www.proxy-list.org/en/index.php) and select SSL and Anonymous + Elite under type. Make sure you enter you the captcha phrase after scrolling down (see screenshot) and then click enter. Look for sites with 100% uptime.

Results:


4.) Click on the FoxyProxy icon and then add new Proxy. Enter the IP address and port of the proxy you picked from step 3.


5.) Click on the URL Patterns tab at the top. For pattern name enter mlb.tv. For URL Pattern enter what's in the screenshot. Make sure the rest of the options match the below screenshot


6.) Click on the general tab. For proxy name I'd select mlb.tv. Click OK


7.) On the drop down box under Select Mode select "use proxies based on their pre-defined patterns and priorities".


8.) Log on to http://mlb.mlb.com/mediacenter and try to open your game. If you get a technical error or it times out the proxy you're using isn't working. Try another. Other than that should pop right up.


To switch proxies in Firefox
1.) To switch proxies in case the one you are on stopped working click the foxy proxy icon


2.) Select mlb.tv and click edit selection


3.) Click on the Proxy Details tab and edit the New IP address & Port. Click OK then close.



Misc

I haven't used them but FoxyProxy (http://getfoxyproxy.org/) offers a Firefox & chrome extension plus - for money - proxy servers for you to use in different countries with guaranteed up time, etc.

So the Rangers might be using Michael Young at shortstop this year to give Andrus a rest once in a while. I will watch every game where Michael Young is penciled in as a starter in that position.

Dorothea Brooke posted:

I see a lot of talk about rushing prospects and breaking them, that players need time to develop in the minors, and stuff like that. Is there much in the way of studies on this sort of thing? It's seemed like a kind of odd assertion to take on faith, and I've never seen any stats in these threads about any analysis of rushing versus not rushing players. Is there proof that players develop/improve faster in the minors than in the majors?

So the Yadi extension press conference is in under 3 hours and no one is still sure on the money. Derrick Goold is saying the AAV is 12.5 million.

Heyman reported yesterday that it was a done deal for 5/75. I wonder what happened since then.

THURSDAY: The deal is for five years and $75MM with no money deferred, Rosenthal tweets. It will be announced this afternoon.

So, I used to be a big baseball fan growing up, played it, loved the Jays, bought all the video games, etc.. But after years of the Jays not making the playoff due the stupid as gently caress playoff structure (NY wins division, BOS wins wildcard, repeat ad nauseum) I boycotted it. My brother in-law and a couple buddies have been pushing me to get back into it since there's a new playoff structure (someone give me a quick synopsis of how this works? Just a couple extra wild cards?) and apparently the Jays have a really good team. Why (if at all) should I be excited for the Jays this year and who should I be looking out for? Is there actually a chance they make the playoffs? Thanks in advance.

Does anyone know how long an fractured orbital takes to heal? I want to see a AJ start before I head back home for the summer.
