MLB Off-Topic

Re: MLB Off-Topic

Agreed.
The 2015 season was such a great, entertaining season.
SO many great young players introduced while other already young stars continued to shine.

Really looking forward to the 2016 season. I'll be getting the MLB package once more.
My biggest issue with this purchase was constantly flipping from game to game trying to see as many of these stars as possible.

Now if only I could find a way to get MLB Network in my neck of the woods.
Come on Rogers! Open this up to other Canadian providers already!

The MLB Network ain't in Canada yet thats strange as I would think they would offer it with a team in Canada

Also MLB Network,in my opinion, is the best sports network though NFL Network ain't bad its just ESPN is no longer good

It is in Canada, just only on one service provider (the one that owns the Blue Jays). Most people have Rogers but not everyone.

2015 was interesting. Matrix makes a good point, there was a ton of high-end, borderline outlier, performances in just about every respect. Really enjoyed the year.

Gonna have to put an OF of Richard Hidalgo, Carlos Lee, and Willy Taveras out there for one last hurrah.

Man, I used to like Richard Hildago back in the day. I'm not even sure why!

Yeah, as AC stated, it's only for Rogers subscribers.
But where I live, I can't get Rogers, only Bell.
In Winnipeg, those who have MTS can get the MLB network.
But basically, if you live in Ontario, you're only option is Rogers and people like myself are boned.

And I totally agree with your assessment that the MLB Network is the best of the lot.
IMO, it's no even close. I've watched the NHL and NFL networks (no idea about NBA) and MLB blows them away.

When I was working in Detroit, I'd go to BWW's on a weekly basis just to catch an hour of MLB Network programming.

I'd love it if this network was available to those who purchase the MLB package or MLB.tv.

If i'm not mistaken MLB Network now has streaming service on the MLB at Bat app.

Same here lol, cool name syndrome I guess. Also, sign of the times update: Hidalgo had 44 HRs and 122 RBI in 2000 and barely cracked the top 20 NL MVP voting.

Baseball reference has him down for a 6.3 WAR that year on a 330K contract, nice value haha

MLB Network just annoys me greatly.

It's the offseason.

Why am I not watching old games of yesteryear? The '07 series between CLE/NYY or the '03 series of FLA/CHC. C'mon, MLBN! If NFL Network and NBA TV can do it...get it together.

I will continue to harp on this.

My guess is that they want to show HotStove,High Heat, MLB Now and IT so they can talk about all the news that happens during the day plus MLB Tonight

Plus its helps their analysts are pretty good except for Chris Russo,how anybody watches his show is amazing with him just screaming at the TV. Plus how he grades Hall or Famers annoy me.

Re: MLB Off-Topic

I don't remember MLB Network ever showing classic games, but I could be wrong. ESPN Classic used to way back in the day. They'll probably break out The Bad News Bears and Major League 2 for the 900th time tho.

The sad thing is, I was really looking forward to that when MLB-N came to Rogers. Sadly it was not meant to be.

They did show classic games for a couple offseasons. I know this for a fact because in my trading i've had 2 games sent to me via the MLB-N replay. The great thing about MLB-N's replays was that there was little to no editing like ESPN Classic used to do and what NFL-N does when they show their replays. I think only NBA-N shows virtually unedited replays.

It would be a great thing to showcase on a weeknight though rather than a lot of other recycled programming and such. I think this offseason was the SECOND time this year that they replayed Ken Burns' Baseball. (the other time was the All Star Break IIRC) It would be nice if they dedicated a couple weeks or even a month to classic broadcasts.
