Online last year was a polished turd. But still a turd.

Fredi Gonzalez is in the last year of his contract as his extension was only for 1 year.

Phillies have signed Chad Billingsley to a 1-year, $1.5 million deal.
Who is that now?

Braves trade David Hale and Gus Schlosser to the Rockies for minor league catchers Jose Briceno and Chris O'Dowd.
Catchers and Tommy Johns. 2014-2015 Braves Offseason.
Still better than Three Thirdbasemen and Obesity by the BoSox.

I just got home from Royals FanFest. It's a different feeling this year, for sure.
Are you a... Brewers fan? I can't remember if you picked a team before.

Let's give you a quick test to prepare you for MLB-GAF!
After getting a hot dog or polish dog from Costco, what do you put on it?
I got no team right now, I"ll probably wait to the season ends to pick one or whatever.

Might go with Deli Mustard. Not a fan of onions or relish.
What's the ketchup there for? They sell french fries too?

Ketchup Hotdog Regular Season OT - The True King
For casuals like me to understand the rules, fundamentals, overall basics of baseball.

I need the title of that book, G-Fex.

My library doesn't have it so I guess I'll just read the Wikipedia entry on baseball. Also, what's the best way for a dirty poor like me to follow the season, radio?
that's my plan, going to get that MLB radio thing terrisus talked about for the season. 20 bucks.

20 bucks?! I'm talking about free broadcast radio. I can pull in Giants and A's games.

G-Fex wants access to a bunch of games I believe. He has yet to choose a team.
I wonder if the quality of eacg team's particular broadcasters calling the games would affect his choice.

So basically the only way for cord cutters to watch baseball is the Saturday game on Fox and the Sunday night game on WatchESPN/ESPN3?

MLB.com usually has a Free Game of the Day for streaming.
mlb.tv
I haven't needed it since I still have cable, but does Hola or something similar prevent the MLB.tv blackouts?
BFIB
Member
I use unblock us. Worked great last year.
Yes. I didn't use Hola specifically but a similar IP (or is it DNS - fuck if I can remember) manipulator will let you get in-market games. MLB.TV is actually cheaper than the cable package although you do have to accept the fact you won't get pre/postgame coverage or commercials, the latter of which actually starts to gnaw at you if you aren't on twitter or GAF for the distraction factor.

I'm hoping the blackout restrictions for mlb.tv are revisited in the near future. It hasn't been a problem for me specifically since I don't live in a market for the Cardinals, but I think the idea of teams "claiming" whole geographic areas which may not even have access to the cable network in the first place is ridiculous.
I think they're also leaving a lot of money on the table as a result, but maybe the cost/benefit of forcing cable onto people is worth it

Considering how much bank teams are making off of RSNs, I wouldn't count on it.

Teams are showing interest in Andruw Jones.
For the Bravos: Shelby Miller apparently started utilizing a sinker in September of last season and credits that (and Masterson teaching it to him) to the really strong finish he had. Here's the quote from Fox Sports:
He's also going to try to learn the changeup during ST to further develop his arsenal. He and Tyrell Jenkins will be interesting to follow I think, especially since Jenkins is evidently a top 5 prospect in the ATL system which surprised me a bit tbh.

That really depends who's making the list. I haven't generally seen him that high. Folty, Sims, Peraza, Ruiz, Bethancourt, Fried, and Albies can all easily be placed ahead of him. Kiley had him 10th for example.
BFIB
Member
I hope he does well in Atlanta. Reminds me of Andy Benes when he did the same by learning the sinker.

Can you get the free game of the day on the free version of the mlb app?
Yeah I think my source was quoting himself or something because it appears he's pretty far down the list from a quick perusal of talkingchop.
Yes.

Caribbean World Series starts tomorrow for anyone itching to watch some baseball. should be a fun one since Cuba is bringing in top talent after last years embarrassment. last year they didnt allow their winning club to choose players from the teas that lost to reinforce the team.
