What is that exactly? He’s failing in replenishing the farm system and there are gaping holes in the big league roster.

He's been through 1 draft and International cycle. How has he already failed?

[David Dennison 18,944]

Fastball command, please.

There should not be the ability to black out games in area where the games are not carried on a reasonable tier of package. 

They want blackouts to lead to the reasonable tier of package coverage.  Doesn't usually work, but that's their thinking.

Buff streams isnt working

[WBT 20,652]

Those career numbers for Judge vs us confirm my sense that he's mostly sucked.  I don't really fear him at all.

[WBT 20,652]

Tuve!

[David Dennison 18,944]

Rodon is lucky that stayed in the park.

[WBT 20,652]

Yordan pulling the ball on the ground to move up the runner like a good 2-hole hitter should.  

[WBT 20,652]

Damn Tuck, can't K there.  Need a pickmeup.

[WBT 20,652]

Bregs!  Just blooped it in there.

[tx 3 putt 77,315]

Let’s F’n Go !!!!!

[BrazilHorn 6,629]

Alright Bregman! RBI baby

[tx 3 putt 77,315]

Wtf with split screen + audio from another game ????

[elfenix 34,331]

Not going to get excited until our starter makes it out of the 5th 

[Limp Brisket 546]

Apple TV and their probability percentage bullshit.

[IDIOTsavant 8,502]

It’s not just that they gave Apple a broadcast…it’s that their broadcast fucking blows every fucking time. It should be at least a little better by now.

With that established, if you tell Apple (or Peacock on Sunday mornings

Going back to this, I don't understand it at all from Apple's and Peacock's perspective.  What kind of sociopaths do they think or going to subscribe to a service to watch one random mlb game per week.  That's not how people watch baseball.

JP with warning track power.  Needs to redouble his efforts in hitting the weights.

Choose the local radio option on AppleTV. The AppleTV announcers are awful

Their graphics are nice. That’s the only positive that I can think of.

[WBT 20,652]

Oh lord, even slow ass Bregman gets in there on the back end of the double steal

[David Dennison 18,944]

Can't do that, Jose.

[UTexasFight 9,523]

That AB by Abreu… getting about 10 pitches in the same spot and not being able to catch up to a single one was…troubling 

[WBT 20,652]

And Slappy strikes out with three whiffs on 95 mph fastballs

[runthebone 8,028]

When do we drop Abreu in the order?

[David Dennison 18,944]

Two less than ideal ABs.

[WBT 20,652]

Followed by a bad Chas AB.  Wish we had more than 1 by now.

When our Dusty tainted manager decides to I guess

[runthebone 8,028]

Loperfido homered tonight.  No pressure, Abreu.

[WBT 20,652]

Javier at 47 pitches through 4

[tx 3 putt 77,315]

Love these 7 pitch innings 

[UTexasFight 9,523]

Make this be the inning, please

He’d be a lot better if we didn’t have Javier in our starting rotation for a big chunk of his career 

[David Dennison 18,944]

Awful.

[tx 3 putt 77,315]

Come on Yordan

[WBT 20,652]

Let Rodon off the hook again

[YChang 3,462]

Frustrating at bats

Their thinking is that people will try the free trial to watch the game and then watch a 3 minute trailer for a show about the Lincoln assassination and subscribe for that.

I’ve never bought in to that but I do think that’s a real thing

there is also the “well, we have to start somewhere. We’re not going to have the level of espn’s rights immediately out of the gate.”

the reality is that the current model for all of these streaming services (save maybe Netlflix) is currently unsustainable. They’re going to have to raise prices or cut costs (probably both) sooner or later.

But while you have the free trial, DEFINITELY binge Masters of the Air (and Killers of the Flower Moon if you haven’t yet seen that)

I miss the days that we had a great offense that produced runs

[cabowabo 4,507]

Nice effort Chas. 

[UTexasFight 9,523]

Yordan would have had that

 

he would have blown out his knee when he landed, but he would have had it

[WBT 20,652]

Wtf Chas?  Get to the wall and catch it without jumping

[billfromlaketravis 11,522]

Why can every visiting LF pay the Crawford Boxes better than our own guys?
