MLB 2021

[dpkimmel2001]

The lack of a thread on opening day speaks volumes about this sport these days.

Anyhow..... Here's to yet another losing season in Pittsburgh.

and Philadelphia

And Kansas City. I expect the Royals may be slightly better this year, maybe getting close to 75 wins.

It's a regional niche sport now.

Well the Phillies got the w over Atlanta on a 10th inning walk off

College basketball didn't have a thread until march. The mlb is more than alright

 

[Michfan]

Red Sox look horrible

 

[Turtle84]

Go Padres. They're finally trying to win again the last few years

 

[REBS31]

Every year I try to keep up with baseball like I used to but I always lose interest about a month in. I used to be a diehard Braves fan, hopefully they can repeat last year’s success.

My interest is pretty low because I can't get the Orioles games. There is literally no legal streaming option. In order to watch, I either have to pay $200/month for DIRECTV (nope) or get Spectrum TV at $160 month to watch in SD (also nope). I'm not spending anywhere near that kind of money to watch a losing baseball team.

I would stay clear of the Braves unless you like having your heart crushed every year.

The archaic blackout restrictions are a real impediment to modern fandom, and should change. The number of people who are interested in streaming their local team's games, but would be compelled to attend in person if they can't do so is nearly nonexistent. Streaming vs. live attendance are two entirely different levels of interest. The teams are cutting off their nose to spite their face.

I mean, OPACY is six hours away. The ability to stream the game wouldn't be why I don't go to games. The fact that OPACY is six hours away is why I don't go to the games.

Disgusting:

 

[Go Panthers]

dang braves...not a great way to start the season 0-3.

Offense looked horrible.

 

[FLRacingFan]

It’s absurd that with every regional sport in play now Sinclair still can’t reach an agreement for their new Bally networks with any of the streaming services.

 

[Michfan]

I buy mlb tv because I'm a cubs fan and live in Michigan which works nice. But if I was a tiger fan I'd be screwed because they get blacked out and youtubetv drolled Fox Sports Detroit and I live 5 hours from Detroit. Just dumb.

 

[Reck]

Red Sox look horrible

They will win maybe....30 games this year.

 

[AndyMarquisLive]

There's the Orioles I love and miss.

 

[kkfan91]

Being the only undefeated team in the NL through 4 I'll take it. With a not garbage pen the Phil's might be ok

 

[AndyMarquisLive]

I'm sure they'll remember they're the Orioles soon but I'll enjoy it in the meantime.

 

[Speedbowl14]

The NL East teams they have a combined total of 10 wins....

5 of those by the Phillies who are 5-1

 

[FLRacingFan]

Bush league win by the Mets today

@dpkimmel2001, good to see you back on the board.

Hope all is well.

Sox pitchers can't hit like that but the DH can . . . .
