I would really like to watch the Oakland games. They are in an exciting game now, but mlbn doesn't think a tie game in the tenth is worth their attention. I wonder if mlb.tv will have its usual price cut halfway through this "season.".
I think they’re probably prohibited from showing live action from other games while the Sunday night national ESPN game is on.I would really like to watch the Oakland games. They are in an exciting game now, but mlbn doesn't think a tie game in the tenth is worth their attention.
And ARod was correct in his commentary: With the first baseman playing back, Swansby needed a bigger leadWorkman almost blows another save, but tying run thrown out at the plate.
162 game pace for 118 wins and nothing about it looks fluky. They’re already +80 in run differential. That team is a monster.The Dodgers are a juggernaut.
I think Freeman is my favorite personality in the sport right now. Just an incredibly awesome person to watch play a game.View: https://www.espn.com/video/clip/_/id/29727178
Freddie Freeman congratulating Alec Bohm on his first career homer made me happy.
Heyman is trying to equate $100M+ contracts to expected success like there is supposed to be a correlation. The six contracts he's referencing are Josh Hamilton, Albert Pujols, Mike Trout (x2), Justin Upton, and Anthony Rendon. And then there's the inexplicable trade for Vernon Wells' monster deal where they got very little cash along with him. Trout is worth every penny but the rest of the deals could be construed as spending like a drunken sailor, not building a good/great team. Pujols is on his last legs, Hamilton was an insta-bust, and Upton is contributing shit right now. Rendon is paying off so far, but he's one player. One player can't carry a team (nor can two).
I know the Sox situation is different, but one of the annoying points brought up about the $300 million+ contract was that the Angels were used as an example of team paying one (great) player a ton of money and still failing, as if paying one player so much money was the reason they were not successful. Even paying Trout his gargantuan salary the Angels have still been able to spend money, they have just made consistently bad investments.Heyman is trying to equate $100M+ contracts to expected success like there is supposed to be a correlation.

Kinda depends on how far it goes. The Brewers and Reds are not playing tonight, but everyone else is (so far). If it stays that way, I doubt Manfred does anything. He'll treat the one game like a rainout or a Covid postponement and schedule a double header. If other teams jump in (rumors of the Giants and Dodgers considering sitting are already out there), then he's forced to respond. I expect he'll say the wrong thing to start but get to the right decision eventually.I expect Silver will support the players. Not so sure about Manfred
Better than being slawtered.You hate to see Cole get battered.
There are six other games in progress currently.We might end up seeing a situation where the Red Sox and Blue Jays are the only teams that play tonight, and not because they're not on the same page as everyone else, but because they started roughly 30 minutes before any other games were scheduled. They were already on the field when everyone else made the call. Would they walk off the field mid-game to join the rest of the league?
Fingers crossed that the Red Sox decide to join such an effort.It would seem that one day of solidarity would make sense, similar to what the NHL seems to be doing.
According to weather.com, The rain may clear out by 8. But whether it does or doesn't, like you wrote, may be irrelevant.PeteAbe just posted this photo on Twitter...

It's the scoreboard at the stadium in Buffalo displaying the word "Equality". The game was likely to get rained out anyway, but that display may indicate the game isn't going to be played regardless of weather.
I don't guess they'd want Brasier now?Mariners pen is so bad. up 4, bases empty, one out to go, and they give up seven

And now it’s 10-8 after 4. Milone already paying (negative) dividends. Also Didi has a triple and homerun already.Phillies give up a 10 spot in the 2nd. thanks for giving us actual assets for Hembree & Workman.
Guess baby adrenaline isn’t banned by MLB.A-Rod calls Didi the Bill Gates of baseball.
Up to 18 now. Just a really impressive performance by the Giants.Cardinals and Giants both with 16 runs today. SF still in the 6th inning.
