IUFLA Posted April 10, 2022 Report Share Posted April 10, 2022 (edited) It's good to hear Bob Carpenter again. He use to do the TV play by play for the Cardinals back in the 80s...now does it for the Nats, and they're on MLB network vs the Mets tonight. Very underappreciated play by play guy...

IUFLA Posted April 10, 2022 Report Share Posted April 10, 2022 (edited) Ok...MLB Network, which didn't come with my old Dish network package, but does with YouTube TV, has started to save my fandom... I'm out of "crabby old man" mode, and although there are still things they've changed that I hate, I still love the game. Watching "Quick Pitch" on MLBN has restored some of my faith...I do miss the days of WGN carrying every Cub game, but watching different teams and listening to their home TV announcers rather than the idiots on ESPN, has me pumped...

Love MLB Network. I don't watch it religiously, but whenever I have a hankering for baseball, I know I can flip over to it and there will be something I will watch. There literally is not anything they put on that I will not watch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also I can't remember a pitcher like Mahler that is so much better on the road than at home. Today in the third he gave up 3 runs on 1 hit.

IUFLA Posted April 13, 2022 Report Share Posted April 13, 2022 The Susuki kid is tearing it up for the Cubs. 2 fingers today accounted for both runs in a 2-1 win over the Buccos. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If my leadership came out and said that...I wouldn't be in that ballpark until he is removed. In a baseball town like Cincy with knowledgeable fans who have put up with only 4 playoff appearances in what last couple of decades you just can't make those comments. Ever. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IU Scott Posted April 13, 2022 Report Share Posted April 13, 2022 If I am Kershaw I am pissed off. He was perfect through 7 innings and only 80 pitches but took him out. As a competitor I would have refused to leave the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IU Scott Posted April 13, 2022 Report Share Posted April 13, 2022 I was pleasantly surprised by the Refs series at the Braves with splitting the 4 game series. The last two days against Cleveland has taken that away. Their starting put hing hasn't been very good and their hitting has been terrible. They actually not bad at runs scored but the rest of the stats are in the bottom 4 of baseball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

btownqb Posted April 14, 2022 Report Share Posted April 14, 2022 not my words. I dont have an overly strong opinion, cant say the Dodgers are "wrong" for how they handled it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
