Guess that is why they play nine.
 
I'm fucked again this year. I have Dish TV and no fucking Baseball games again this year. In about 4 more months I can tell Dish TV where to stick their cable. It will be out of sight.
 
Jim, can't you buy a season pass to something like MLB Exrea Innings? They broadcast about 90 games a week and many have a choice between which announcers you want to listen to. The price is about what you would pay for lift tickets for a couple to ski for one day.

Today the Mariners are playing the Twins and you have a choice of listening to Mangle Mouth Dave Sims or you can listen to the Twins announcers. Choice is a wonderful thing.

I'm to cheap to do something like that. At least I get some BB and some NFL. So I'm happy.

Baseball should be listened to on an AM radio on the porch on a hot summers night. And no DH. Former pitcher here, who was also a decent at bat.

... with crackling and interference from some C&W station from Podunk Oklahoma making intermittent appearances ...
 
M’s fan but this year the best thing will be the $5 stadium beers.

You’ll need them through the ups and downs that they will inevitably give us again this year.
 
I know it's early in the season, but 4 losses in a row on the road just sucks.

Jim, we are too old to be cheap. Do what makes you happy as there isn't that much time left. I see too many old folks denying themselves any pleasure because they have always been "Cheap" and continue to be right to the end. I may go broke before it is all over but I am not going to live like I'm already broke before I get there.

Today I ordered MLB Extra Innings for $140 for the season. About 90 games a week to choose from, no more Mangle Mouth Dave Sims or ESPN fraternity club good 'ole boys nonsense. I'll watch a tiny fraction of those games but at least I'll have a choice.
 
I very seldom watch entire games. I watch for a while and I get bored and change channels. Not watching the Mariners doesn't bother. I just like to bitch, That's all.
 
Looking forward to tonight's game - would normally root for the M's, but Justin Verlander is probably my favorite pitcher of this era - old school, good to seem him back after TJ surgery.

Enjoy the game!!

cheers

New Rules Dramatically Speeding Up MiLB Games

Last night, a new stricter enforcement of pitch clocks and rules that require hitters to remain in the batter’s box began to be enforced around the minors. And while it’s only day one of a season-long experiment, the results were dramatic.
