Yeah, that’s how it does for the other teams that have broadcasts through MLBtv. Definitely going to talk to my husband about it and see what he thinks. It is especially nice that we would not have to keep it during the offseason.
MLBtv you can actually pause and rewind too.

That’s totally how I feel here.
Helps that I have a free membership. (They used to have a plan where the 3rd member on a plan was $20/mo and 4th $10/mo. They got rid of it when they built the rooftop pool and raised their rates, and now just comp the few of us who had the $10 and $20 memberships.)

Oh man. It would be so nice to save that much money. Question is whether or not we’d still be able to access all the shows we DVR without it. Need to figure that out.

But titling an article about a man who died by suicide “the unraveling of Brian Matusz” is so incredibly disgusting. Especially if that is how it was intentionally framed, regardless of how thoughtfully it was written.
I might read the piece, but this is certainly turning me off of doing so.

For all I know this is a very well written, thoughtful article that delves into his long history of mental health issues and addiction, the opioid crisis and its impact on the US and its pervasiveness in the world of sports—especially amongst retired athletes battling lingering injuries

Costco is perfect. You can get a really nice Kohler trash can for much less than they go for elsewhere. After my mom got us the kitchen version we ended up getting a two back of the bathroom version because we love it so much.

This is basically the exact opposite of who he is. He’s a sweet, awkward, not at all bro-y guy.
A bit of a himbo, yes, but comparing him to a date rapist is INCREDIBLY unfair to him.

My mom got me a nice ass trashcan from Costco and I looked up how much it costs and this thing is $100??? (Retail. Less at Costco.)
But boy howdy do I love this trash can.

Oh that’s entirely because after they put him on the IL for elbow pain they started pretending it didn’t exist and just talked about shoulder and lat pain!!

I get it. It was such a beautiful night though that I could’ve relaxed at the stadium another 45 minutes

I had these nice ass seats and this game FLEW by because our pitching was so efficient.
107 pitches thrown between 4 pitchers.
(Tigers threw 155. Just a few more.)

I was wondering why there was no Eflin interview on the radio after Mansolino

I really want Ramón to play enough innings at 3B to be eligible for a Gold Glove.

These are the kinds of trades they should be making (and should have already made).

Westy certainly did well DHing tonight.

Yupppp.
They got so much criticism for how they handled Félix and Kyle that their philosophy regarding Grayson seems to be pretending his elbow injury doesn’t exist and giving no real information.
comment in response to

I can almost guarantee you that the answer is gag order.
They pretty much immediately stopped giving updates on or even talking about the elbow injury he initially went on the IL for. I bet Elias is mad that Mansolino even acknowledged its existence.

I do not understand why he did not get TJ back in early March.

For sure.
To be fair I absolutely do not pay close attention on my rewatches and I usually fast forward through the innings where I know not much of anything happens, unless I’m doing something else with it on in the background so I can just zone out during those innings.

Do you do this after fun games too?

Lots of great performances tonight, but Ramón drove in our winning runs and gave one of the best defensive performances you’ll see.
He’s also generally under appreciated and deserves to get some recognition after games like this!

Absolutely
