I was only listening to the radio feed, was Lester really hovering around 88 for most his outing today? Because if so, that's ... not encouraging.

MLB.tv still allows up to five concurrent connections on a single account. VPNs and DNS spoofing are a quick banhammer ticket, though.

UZR IS BULLSHIT posted:Also reminder that the McCourt’s long term plan was to get Jamie elected president lmfao Didn't McCourt get to keep the parking lots when he was forced to sell the Dodgers? That was some bullshit. tadashi posted:The problem to me isn't that Jeter & co weren't thinking, it's that MLB keeps giving every other team that comes on the market to owners who have no business buying the team. Yeah, this is definitely an issue. Remember, Jeter only put up like $20 million of the sale price; the vast majority of the rest came from a hedge fund shitlord. MLB should have known what they were getting into, there. Timby fucked around with this message at 19:20 on Apr 11, 2018 |

I feel like we discussed the options for an MLB team moving last year and concluded that there were no realistic straight-shot options. Here's a list of markets larger than Milwaukee (currently the smallest market in baseball) without an MLB team: Montreal Vancouver Las Vegas Orlando San Antonio Portland Sacramento Austin Indianapolis Charlotte Columbus Hampton Roads There are no straight-shot cities. California, Florida, Texas and Ohio already have 5, 2, 2, and 2 teams respectively, so it's unlikely we'll see another team in those states. Indianapolis would get whining from the Cubs, White Sox and Reds. Charlotte just had its AAA team move into a near-MLB-quality stadium, and the Orioles, Nationals and Braves all have territorial claims to the area. Orlando isn't a viable baseball market. Hampton Roads would run into the Nats, and Vancouver would make Seattle raise the mother of all tantrums. Portland hates baseball so much that it turned its AAA stadium into a soccer-specific one. There are a number of issues with Mexico City (the peso's in the shitter, corporate sponsorship would be hard to come by, and there are significant safety / security concerns). And, finally, Montreal has a huge stadium issue: Olympic Stadium is not a realistic option, and there is massive political resistance against any sort of public funding for a new one. I mean, poo poo, the most realistic option is probably Vegas, and given the sport's history of gambling scandals, MLB is understandably wary about going there.

Sydin posted:Imagine living in Iowa and being blacked out from six different teams, none of which are even in your state. Mediacom actually carries CSN Chicago (and WGN America, even though they don't carry Cubs games anymore), so it wasn't hard to watch Cubs games there. I'm just happy that Madison is very comfortably 40 miles outside the Cubs' blackout zone, so the only time I can't watch them is if they're on ESPN or playing the Brewers.

Kevyn posted:Welp looks like all the territory is already claimed, no more expansion teams Honestly expansion probably isn't a great idea, but relocation could be. But then again, good luck convincing teams to give up their guaranteed territory income. Really, there should be contraction, but the union would justifiably throw a goddamn fit.

GOOD TIMES ON METH posted:Price got fired this early because the Reds are 3-15, which is like the worst start for the franchise since like the Great Depression or some poo poo. He isn't to blame for the roster but when the team is that poo poo coming out of the gate some symbolic action has to be taken and it is usually firing the manager. He was gone at the end of the year anyways. I think the baffling thing is less "why fire Bryan Price now" and more "holy gently caress, why is Jim Riggleman still employed, and why is he now managing a team again?"

Sab0921 posted:This is pretty fascinating to me - on why baseball fandom is so old and there are no baseball players in the general public consciousness like Griffey, Bonds, Jeter and A-Rod. It's because baseball, far more than any other sport, is so incredibly up its rear end about the history of the game and it being the National Pastime and all that. That's at least half the reason there's so much hand-wringing over the steroid era, because people cling to their fantasies of the Great White Men of yore being the roots of baseball (and you'll get a look of derision from them if you dare to point out that amphetamines probably helped Mickey Mantle a hell of a lot more than shooting Winstrol into his rear end helped Neifi fuckin' Perez). Edit: I mean, poo poo, it feels like half the "during this break in the action" clips on MLB.tv are showing stuff from the '80s and '90s. And Thom Brennaman talking to that loving bird.

Niwrad posted:Just curious why it's still critical if he's stable and talking. Like can something bad still happen? He could literally be awake and talking to doctors one moment and then bleeding out of his brain again a moment later. When it comes to a ruptured brain aneurysm like this, he basically needs 24 / 7 monitoring for several weeks. They need time to determine causes, risk factors, exactly what happened, etc. He has a long way to go before he's out of the woods.
