It's why directv and the cable companies will be pushing the shit out of it. Try and get back the cord cutters.

They'll start with sports. And if baseball is available in 4K through the cable box I'd have to do it, even if it is on top of the mlb.tv package.

I honestly never even thought about that, since I'm so far removed from cable/satellite. Wouldn't it be compressed as hell? OTA high definition local channels already look better than what I used to get on DirecTV.

But I agree. If they can do it right I would be highly tempted. Probably an insane up charge for the UHD package.

Google fiber bro

That's what my parents and all my family uses in KC. No joy anywhere I've been stationed. I'd hop on board immediately. My aunt got their entry level package on some insane deal where she paid $300 and has Internet for 10 years. Parents are on the gig plan.

I'll never see George Brett the same way after watching his poop story.

 

[chicagocubsfan]

Jeez what a throw.

 

[LJ11]

Jeez what a throw.

Yeah, it was pretty awful.

 

[Tragicomedy]

Yeah, it was pretty awful.

An out by any other name...

 

[TheGamingBox]

what was that red kc hat from

 

[devilhawk]

what was that red kc hat from

Monarchs, I would assume.

 

[Loco4Coco]

Seems like the Mets are in 2015 midseason form.

 

[Tragicomedy]

Royals aggressive as hell on the bases. Probably out.

Or not.

 

[Gouty]

Thats stings.

 

[Tragicomedy]

Proud of Volquez. Dude just grinds every time out. No control early on, no problem.

 

[JDHarbs]

Hoz still sliding to first

...at least it worked this time.

 

[CygnusXS]

Wright needs a designated fielder.

 

[Tragicomedy]

That's good baseball.

Colon sighting!

 

[JDHarbs]

#devilmagic

edit:

nevermind, i thought he dropped it

 

[BumRush]

Wright needs a designated fielder.

He's going to end up being a burden this year which is really sad as a mets fan

 

[Tragicomedy]

Admittedly tough play, but these Mets cannot field. Routine grounders to third, fly balls in the outfield...they can't.

At least they dumped Murphy.

Colon looking slightly slimmer. It's fun watching him balloon up as the season progresses.

Really sad.

 

[Chris R]

Colon looking slim lol

edit: Grabbed a cheap AM/FM radio to listen to some games this season. About time I did that after being pissed at missing a few Mariners day games last year.

To be fair, yo just plays like he doesn't care and Wright is a shell of his former self, but yup...playing against you guys doesn't help. You're built on defense and relentless hitting and we just can't field so it looks that much more glaring.

I feel bad for Wright cause dude is a class act and it's not his fault. Cespedes is lazy as shit and deserves the criticism.

And just like that, Infante has matched his 2015 offensive contribution.

 

[TheGamingBox]

mlb.tv does not want to work on my ipad

 

[Tragicomedy]

The Mexecutioner is anything but.

 

[Frozenprince]

David kinda should have retired.

Can't play the field anymore.

 

[JDHarbs]

It's nice to see Soria back in blue, but the guy just isn't who he used to be.

He looks tired.

 

[Frozenprince]

Amazing manager Ned Yost leaves Soria in.

 

[Tragicomedy]

Soria was a mistake. He's nothing but trash.

 

[richiek]

DUDA!!!

About fucking time Mets!!

 

[Frozenprince]

So did Wade Davis die and nobody told me or.

 

[Icanplaythat]

Why is Soria still in? KC has like 87 guys in the bullpen that throw smoke.

 

[Frozenprince]

God bless you, Ned Yost.

 

[brianjones]

the dudabides

yeah I need to call it a night

 

[Tragicomedy]

So did Wade Davis die and nobody told me or.

He'll be in next inning if they hold this lead.

Should be Hochevar, Herrera, and Davis. Soria in middle relief...maybe. Trying to put Soria as the SU guy makes no sense.

 

[devilhawk]

You can't manage game 1 like game 174.

I can see us going back to Hoch, Herrera, Davis as the 3.

 

[jman2050]

Where the hell is Davis?

 

[Frozenprince]

You can't manage game 1 like game 174.

I can see us going back to Hoch, Herrera, Davis as the 3.

You have the best RP in baseball, when it was 2 on 1 out 2 runs, that's Wade Davis time.

 

[ZootedGranny]

I thought the Soria signing was suspect, and this doesn't help.

 

[Gouty]

Great game Soria, christ

 

[Tragicomedy]

Where the hell is Davis?

He's the closer. They aren't going to bring him in in the 8th inning up 4 runs.

The mistake was Soria. He's got nothing.

 

[devilhawk]

Nope. You don't extend closers on game 1. Should have gone to Hoch way earlier tho.

 

[Frozenprince]

Nope. You don't extend closers on game 1. Should have gone to Hoch way earlier tho.

Why. You use your best pitcher to close it out. A W is a W doesn't matter when.

 

[Icanplaythat]

Fuck you horse shaver.

 

[Tragicomedy]

Nope. You don't extend closers on game 1. Should have gone to Hoch way earlier tho.

Exactly. Davis needs to be ready to go every night, theoretically. Not in an 8th inning scenario.

I like Herrera in the 8th, personally,

 

[devilhawk]

It's a 162 game season.

And you have Hoch.

Hoch should have been in all along.

 

[Frozenprince]

It's a 162 game season.

And you have Hoch.

Hoch should have been in all along.

Again. So?

The difference between 77 appearances (which Davis will have plus some) and 78 is fucking nothing.

Bring in your big gun, close the game out.

 

[Hopfrog]

Should be Hoch, Herrera, Davis. Soria needs to sort it out quick.

 

[Tragicomedy]

Why. You use your best pitcher to close it out. A W is a W doesn't matter when.

It doesn't work that way. If it did, every team would have their top reliever take over for the starter and close out every game.

Dudes get tired. Yost is going to fire out Davis next inning to blow people up.

 

[Tragicomedy]

Again. So?

The difference between 77 appearances (which Davis will have plus some) and 78 is fucking nothing.

Feels like you're missing the point or being deliberately obtuse. Davis can't consistently go two innings. He will be making an appearance.

If you try and use him for 4-6 outs a night, he'll wear down and stop being the Wadebot.

 

[Doogdogg]

What this bullshit when logging in on MLBtv:

Due to Major League Baseball exclusivities, live national broadcasts of Major League Baseball events, such as the All-Star Game, and select live national broadcasts of MLB games occurring each Saturday with a scheduled start time after 1:10 PM ET or before 8:00 PM ET and select live national broadcasts of MLB games occurring each Sunday with a scheduled start time after 1:00 PM ET will be blacked out in the United States (including the territories of Guam and the U.S. Virgin Islands)

I'm not advocating using him every night, I feel like you're not listening.

You bring in Davis to close it because there are two off days and he's the best pitcher on either team.
