Dan Gould Posted March 26, 2018 Report Share Posted March 26, 2018 I had no idea the season starts Thursday (for the Sox at least) and furthermore, with a first four series that goes like this: Rays Marlins Rays (Boston) Yankees (Boston) I'm situated to see the first 12 games of the season on Sunshine, ESPN or MLB Network. Never had that happen but I guess it gives me more time to decide on whether I invest in the Extra Innings package for the first time or not. I assume the cost is still around $160 for the year. And now I realize that since I'm once again hard-wired into the internet with no data caps (Go to hell, Exede!) and the quickest speeds I've ever enjoyed, I guess MLB.TV is another option too.

Brad Posted March 26, 2018 Report Share Posted March 26, 2018 Season also starts on Thursday for Mets. They had a horrible spring but the pitching looked good so I guess we’ll see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghost of miles Posted March 26, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2018 I know it's spring for the Yankees when Greg Bird is scratched from the lineup due to issues with his foot. (As somebody commented on a Yankee forum this weekend, "Bird's turning into Nick Johnson 2.0.") If any MLB fans here are T-Mobile customers, be sure to take advantage of the offer they're putting up tomorrow (as they did last year around this time)--free MLB.TV for the year if you download their T-Mobile Tuesdays app: T-Mobile offering free year of MLB.TV I had switched over to T-Mobile in February of last year for completely unrelated reasons, so this was a very welcome surprise at the beginning of the 2017 season. Happy that they're doing it again this year (probably because they have a commercial relationship with MLB). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazztrain Posted March 26, 2018 Report Share Posted March 26, 2018 Bird is having surgery tomorrow. Expected to miss 6 to 8 weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Dolan Posted March 26, 2018 Report Share Posted March 26, 2018 Yeah, but not doing so good on the health front, obviously. So perhaps you’re only half right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul secor Posted March 27, 2018 Report Share Posted March 27, 2018 They should move Sanchez to first base - a least part time. He couldn't be any worse defensively there than he is behind the plate. Plus Romine would give them better catching, both defensively and handling pitchers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soulstation1 Posted March 28, 2018 Report Share Posted March 28, 2018 I might purchase the $90 Indians season package on Mlbtv Network or start listening on WTAM 1100 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Gould Posted March 29, 2018 Report Share Posted March 29, 2018 Six All Star selections ain't bad, that's for sure. If Tony Perez labored with last-place teams and Staub played for the Big Red Machine, I think he makes it to the Hall just as Perez did.
