MLB Off-Topic

Re: MLB Off-Topic

Not sure if they do it, but is there a condensed version of the games available for free online?

On TV here they have a "game in an hour" or game in 30" broadcast for all the Toronto teams, but that's put together by their network.

I know NHL also has official "60 in 6" styled condensed games on YouTube.

I know regular users post clips of games too, but it's not official and often gets taken down.

If MLB doesn't do it already, they should look into that. Easy way to watch all notable parts of a game with no recap voiceover playing over it.

I heard on a sports show one time one of the hosts was talking about how his kids consume sports. He mentioned that one of his kids is a big fan, but never watches a game. They consume all their content online, watching every recap and highlight video on YouTube instead. I wonder if that's a common thing amongst kids nowadays when consuming sports.

I don’t think there is. I know mlb tv puts up a condensed version like 90 minutes after the game, but who wants to wait that long to watch

MLB TV. It's 25 bucks a month.

Just bought tickets to the Pirates/Nationals game next wednesday .

His region is blacked out of Braves games, and it seems archived games are likely an inconvenience for him to watch.

Even if he watches the out of market channels? MLBTV gives you both your home station and the station of the team they're playing, kinda like Extra Innings.

Unless I'm mistaken, you're blacked out regardless when you're watching your team, whether it's the other team's broadcast and whether they're playing at home/on the road.

If we're not blacked out when watching the other team's broadcast, then I've whiffed on trying that for myself for the past decade plus, and I'm just an idiot in that way for not having tried.

Re: MLB Off-Topic

There are plenty of easy methods to watch any game you want for no cost. I feel zero guilt because I don't have cable, but MLB TV blacks out all Braves games since I live just a few hours outside of Atlanta. Makes total sense, MLB.

90% of the Penguins games, I just watch the highlight package on the Penguins YouTube channel a few hours after the game.

Re: MLB Off-Topic

I can’t watch 49ers games because I don’t live in the region.
I can’t watch Braves games because I do live in the region.

Guess I just need to move to Silicon Valley.

Re: MLB Off-Topic

I love baseball but I really believe it is the worst run sport. Manfred is out of touch with the games fanbase.

Re: MLB Off-Topic

We also saw the balls get juiced in the opposite direction in the recent past. I doubt that was Rawlings going rogue on the MLB.

If you order balls from someone you get what they give you. If you own the company you are literally in direct control of everything about that ball. From the density of the core material you use to what you use for the stitching and cover material and where you get that from.

It’s not rocket science.

I know you are not too naive to think that the MLB had no power of the changes to the baseball in years past before they directly controlled the production of them. When the balls were suddenly getting juiced more and more it wasn't Rawlings going rogue or them doing it in secret.

The MLB is no stranger to trying to make ghost changes. Let's not act like they were completely innocent in the balls getting juiced in the past, being deadened for post season play, and all the other changes that were happening before.

Re: MLB Off-Topic

Not in the same way that you are when you are in literal control of everything. It’s about what you can prove.

But anyways, pete Alonso’s comments (the original point) are pretty easily disproven. MLB does suppress salaries but that’s just called arbitration.

Re: MLB Off-Topic

We can agree to disagree. Whether Rawlings was making the balls or the MLB has direct control over it now, whatever they wanted done to the balls was going to be done. If they wanted them to be juiced, it was going to happen. If they wanted them deadened, it was going to happen. It did happen under Rawlings. They weren't going to say no to the MLB.

As far as Pete's comments, he probably went out there a bit too much, I can agree there.

Re: MLB Off-Topic

There is absolutely no way that the MLB would go out of their way to deaden the balls if they didn’t go out of their way to juice them to begin with.

They wouldn’t ever say: “Well y’all, I can promise you we didn’t juice the balls, but to not hurt your feelings we’ll go ahead and deaden them for you.”

But by deadening them, let’s be real... it’s taken just a couple of feet off the overall flight. We’re not back to where we were in 2016 or whenever, not even close.
