The New & Improved MLB Thread For 2023

[Snaggletiger]

No way it lasts.  It never does.  But in the last 5 games, all against the NY teams, the Bravos have scored 51 runs.  Last night, they scored 11 on 15 hits.  When this bunch is clicking, they are scary good.

Dammit man...now it's ruined.

.527 and 2nd in the WC standings as of today...Rossy must be reading our post here on the X...

Well, after Disney and Charter decided to have a pissing contest, I dropped Charter Cable, and went with YouTubeTV.  Unfortunately (or maybe Fortunately based on the year we're having), Bally Sport doesn't come with YouTubeTV, so I won't be watching any more Cards games this year.

They do offer a package for 20/month, which I might get next year, but I'm not spending 20 bucks in September to watch a shitty Cards team.

So Fuck Georgia and Fuck Disney.

I'm glad you told me that.  However, we're still switching to Youtube this week.  Spectrum is one F'd up provider.  And talk about horrible timing.  They pull this shit the first weekend of college football?  I imagine that stock is about to take a nose dive.

Not necessarily Charter, from everything I’ve heard. Disney wanted to charge more for their programming, and Charter, knowing that cable is a dying industry, wanted their customers to get streaming included.

I still wish I could order cable ala carte. There’s maybe 15-20 channels that I watch, and that would include the espn group of channels (even ACC network).

Too bad the ala carte thing will never happen.

Snags, WTF happened last night?

Snags, WTF happened last night?

Jumped on our ass early and often.  Mike Soroka is still trying to work his way back after a 2 year plus, injury hiatus.  The Cards made him pay.  We hit it well, with 6 runs and double digit hits, but it was 9-1 before the bats woke up.

Just want to win Thursday - Waino making his last start in his home state.

Classy move by the Braves to honor Waino before the game last night.  Kudos, Atlanta.

But not kudos making a habit of getting shellacked by bottom dwellers this year. It's just.....weird. The A's of all teams almost swept them earlier.

Yeah, I'm not sure what to think either.  I thought at best, we could steal a game.

Well, you are the cheatin' Cards.

You need to take your bunch and get the hell out of the ATL.  Done with ya'.  Over it!

Why did they decide to cheat against the Braves here with 20 games left? Jar would have loved to see this the first 140 games.

Congrats to the Braves for clinching a playoff spot!

I'll be jumping on the ATL bandwagon if any of you guys piss me off.  Otherwise, I'm rooting for the Cubs to make sure they flop down the stretch.
