The MLB Thread

[Julian, Forum COGNOSCENTI]

I seriously doubt you get the channels I get with Comcast but I would not switch to them for just a little money less anyways.. and the no landline would be a dealbreaker..

I mean, Comcast offers a landline, I just simply don't have one even though they constantly try to sell me one for $5-10 more per month. What are the Latino channels you're interested in? Comcast actually has a huge selection of a la carte "foreign" channels. Here's a package they have in addition to the usual Telemundo/Univision/Uni Mas:

I don't really care who you have as a cable provider, but you should definitely threaten to leave Verizon to get a better deal. I cut hundreds off my bill annually doing this.

well thanks I will take a look.. for sure adding Telefe would be a nice bonus...

For me, that would entail buying a second tv and possibly second Roku. Which would be fine. And building a mancave, since my wife wouldn't be interested. And spending evenings in separate rooms in front of separate tv's. So I guess I won't be subscribing. The no O's/Nats part makes it an even easier decision.

She can stay in the room and blow you while you watch baseball.

Given your previous brag, she seems absolutely down with that.

You clearly don't know my wife.

And not for lack of trying...

Rosenthal:

Sources: Expectation is that #STLCards? Wainwright is done for season with Achilles injury. Has not yet undergone MRI.

Major bummer.  Huge blow to STL too....

On the brightside,  it's not an arm, but I can hear the calls for the DH already...

Ding!

Rob Manfred says NL teams might embrace designated hitter role

To be decided by the start of next season (2017) as the CBA is up for renewal....

I will be surprised if the NL adopts the DH rule.

Having said that I might be projecting...

[vansmack]

The DH in the NL will all come down to how badly the owners want other things in from the CBA renewal...nothing more, nothing less.  It won't be about principle, it will be about money.

Exactly. It's a bargaining chip for the player's association.

[hutch]

well then we're fucked.. goodbye baseball.. hello AL DH bullcrap.

hey this is AMERICA FUCK YEAH.. its all about money.
