I subscribed to MLB.tv this year and use it with Express Vpn successfully. 

For some reason that setup quit working for me a week ago.  I was clearing cache and closing out Chrome both before and after, but for some reason MLB sniffed it out.  Using the same east coast location every time.  Chrome probably ratted me out some way.  Google is evil.

Switched to Reddit, Volokit, Bilas, etc. and no problems.   

[Scraps 13750]

This dude can't be worse than Biagini

[WBT 20887]

good job new guy

Hmmm that makes me a little nervous. I've had it go out on me but changing locations or toggling the VPN extension and then restarting my browser and usually works. I've been pleasantly surprised that I've been able to watch on my TV's with a fire stick and MLBTV+Express VPN.

Ted may match Gattis's triples number in a 60 game season.

[clapclapclap 9000]

makes sense, third time through the lineup

[Gourmand 7778]

 Altuve was too wound up for that 3-1 pitch

[clapclapclap 9000]

Dammit, Jose doing better but still just can't be patient enough. 

[WBT 20887]

I'd feel better if we had 4 more innings to work with

[Gourmand 7778]

Blummer has 69 jokes

[Scraps 13750]

Well this has gone back to shit

[Scraps 13750]

Is kalas retarded?

[Scraps 13750]

I like how ump didn't call 1st pitch a strike that was a strike and then last one that was same area but fucking way lower a strike

[clapclapclap 9000]

Go sit on the bus, Drew Carey.

[Scraps 13750]

Hey we get to see Biagini give up a grand slam

Damn, Correa had an out at 3rd right in front of him.

[clapclapclap 9000]

Looks like we might lose, good buddy.

[WBT 20887]

Lulz at Shohei.  He's tried to walk at least 3 times and been called back

[Gourmand 7778]

He’s only averaging giving up 2.3 runs per...inning.

Urquidy and Peacock are needed greatly. I can think of 2 pitchers that would be cut tomorrow if they were healthy and ready to pitch.

[Jshep34 2425]

Sometimes forget peacock is on the team

And just like that we’re past the halfway point...and on queue, a little mini “all star break”.

No Astros baseball for 72 hours.

Please self quarantine...

They should be joining the team soon, the hope was this weekend but that covid positive at CC last week threw a curve into that plan. Their returns are delayed because of that and it may be the case where MLB is making them wait an extra two weeks, which would suck because the contact tracing didn't show any exposure to any Astros players at Whataburger Field.

Maybe Chuckles can switch to throwing lefty.

The weirdest player in baseball

In Greinke's defense, Those questions would grate on me day after day.

It's gotta be torturous mentally not to just want to say, "Nah, i'm dreading the upcoming game.  I get paid to play baseball, but fuck all that.  Let's sit at the house and play Atari..."
