Some of my fondest memories of baseball are those of me and my fellow degen undergrad buddies heading down to Cinergy Field to catch a "Businessman's Special" day game for a $6 ticket and pound $7 domestic drafts to see the woefully miserable Reds (3 Boone era - Bob, Brett and A-aron). Day baseball was the best, even in that shitty stadium with that shitty team.
I still call it The Jake.

That Dodgers loss may have been the most frustrating regular season game I’ve ever seen. I’m usually a Roberts guy, but how are you going to leave a rested Kimbrel on the bench for Daniel Hudson? The same Hudson who pitched like shit 24 hours earlier.

I'm happy that I have my MLB package for the Guards, but is anyone else seriously annoyed that you can't watch the fucking local team on TV anymore thanks to Bally's buyout of Fox Sports?
The whole country got to see Sox-Bravos this week, except ya know, those of us actually in ATL.I still call it The Jake.

Baseball’s blackout rules do nothing but hurt the game. I live in SLC and am blacked out of both the Dbacks and the Rockies, which sucks as a Dodgers fan. Nothing a VPN won’t fix, but it’s still a hassle. Manfred and Co are more than happy to take some short term profit at the expense of the long term growth of the game.

Similar if not worse blackout situation in Toronto.
Rogers owns the Blue Jays, as well as the broadcaster Sportsnet. So for me to legally watch a game, I need a cable package plus an additional Sportsnet package. Sportnest has multiple channels, and the games are on different sportsnet channels, including (and sometimes only) on Sportnet1, which is their premium channel for yet another cost. (cable, plus Sportsnet basic, plus Sportsnet1)
I also have MLBTV but of course, Toronto games are blacked out. It says the games are able to be viewed 90 minutes after it finishes, but it's usually 120 minutes if not more.
On one hand it's fucking nuts, but hey I guess it works cause suckers like me will pay to watch their team.

RE: Blackouts.
Was feeling smug about my choices and lack of Blackouts until last night. 3 good games blacked out so Apple TV can show them instead.I have been in this State for 30 years and I am willing to admit that I am part of the problem.

Not much defense in the Phils/Dodgers game. Fun one to watch, especially when Harper is hot.

What the Reds are doing this year is shameful for baseball's oldest franchise.
You can be cheap as shit and still win baseball games and have a successful organization.
Look no further than the Indians/Guardians front office. They are routinely one of the lowest payrolls in baseball, but they have some of the smartest guys in the front office and player development. They're just outside the top 5 in all of MLB for wins since 2010.
What the Reds did was take a team loaded with young talent that had just won 83 games and burnt it to the fucking ground and no real plan on how to manage the effects. Ineptitude on a new level.I still call it The Jake.

Thank God the Yankees are there to make the D's post season woes a bit less painful ( although, they should have 2 if not for the @stroness)

I remember the one that Andy Hawkins threw for the Yanks in 1990. I was skating on my Mike Vallely Animals deck (that I would kill to still have) and listening to the game on a crappy portable radio that took like 6 D batteries. Jesse Barfield dropped a fly and even the best arm I have seen besides the likes of Ichiro, Mookie, and Bo couldn't do anything to rectify that. Definitely the worst Yankees team I have seen in my lifetime by at least 314'. Fortunately they picked it up by 1994 (would have been a fun WS vs the Expos) and haven't had a losing season almost since.j'ai des grands instants de lucididididididididi
