"It feels like only a few months ago that I was traded over here and starting my career as a Cub in 2013 and had some incredible experiences with that organization.

Well, yes, that is the reasonable conclusion most people here guessed.

As recently as last month he was fairly adamant about not being interested in extension talks, something else is going on besides his down year.

http://m.mlb.com/news/article/215994746/padres-bethancourt-eyes-pitcher-catcher-role/ Padres catcher Christian Bethancourt is living every bench player's dream. He pitched in a couple blowouts last year, and showed enough that the Padres want him to keep doing it.

I pinged the mlb.tv thread OP of the last few years, Jose Oquendo, and the cracking down of sharing/VPN stuff on accounts made it seem to him that sharing wasn't a great idea anymore. My account has been shared for years and I used unblock-us all year last year with no issues, but I'm still a bit too skittish about it to risk banishment. If anyone wants to make a thread though, go nuts!

Yeah I only had one goon ask about joining my group but I decided to not even get an mlb.tv account this year. I think I watched 1-2 games on it. I barely have time for Angels games and I can't use that for them anyways. Maybe if they lift the blackouts or if they let me enter my TWC information I'd get it again, but meh.

Dodger fans feel free to correct me but as I understand it Charlie Steiner was already doing the road games Vin no longer traveled to, and/or whatever TV broadcasts haven't been nuked by the dish/cable/etc tug of war that was (is?) still going on in that market. So any "new" guy would be insulated from having to fill Vin's shoes

LonesomeCrowdedWest posted:I feel bad for the guy who has to try and replace Vin Scully this year . edit: Last year they hired Joe Davis to be the main pbp guy on tv for away games. He worked with Orel Hershiser and Nomar Garciaparra (sometimes) as the color guys. Davis is young and has a solid understanding of modern baseball analytics. He has done a good job of including some concepts into broadcasts and getting Orel to reflect on them. He'll mention stuff like contact rate or refer to a guy as "25% better than a league average hitter" in reference to wRC+ without actually naming the acronym. Davis is also very active on twitter (actually engages with fans and replies to things) which I think is a good thing for someone in that position. Steiner and Monday are pretty much radio-only at this point which is good cause they fuckin' suck. bawfuls fucked around with this message at 01:58 on Feb 16, 2017 |

The Giants, and at least one other team with a CSN/NBC based RSN (maybe all of them?), have done a nice thing and are streaming their games to fans in the blackout zone on the condition that you use a carrier login from someone in the blackout zone and also that you are watching from physically within the blackout zone. You just have to use the NBC Sports app for the various streaming devices. So calling Vegas part of the San Francisco broadcast zone (and five other teams because MLB honestly thinks we should pay for six out-of-state RSNs) has gone from a horrid curse to a dumbass's blessing, because my Comcast SF account should should be alright for watching their games this year.

I drove by MMP yesterday to watch some of the construction crews. Tal's Hill is officially gone (being replaced currently by a new wall and some seating) so no one has to complain about it ever again. Straight-away center field is now shorter as a result as well.

Wow that kind of sucks. RIP Tal's Hill. It was pretty unsafe, but led to some spectacular catches as well.

I would probably be a little more outraged about the Marlins sale and ambassador thing if the sale price seemed to be more on the "sweetheart" level than on the "overvalued" one. (Also ambassadorships to western Europe have been totally just friend assignments since forever, all those people have to do is dress nice and show up at parties.)

Agreed. It's just funny or sad that one of the most coveted assignments (I'd guess) is possibly going to the biggest super villains MLB has known since Bud Selig owned a team.
