He made another really nice catch the following inning too. Ended up hitting the wall after the grab. And he had three hits. It was a fun game. Some offense helps. But they should have scored more because they left eleven men on base! 😂😂 Edited August 17, 2023 by jv1972iu 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IUFLA Posted August 17, 2023 Report Share Posted August 17, 2023 (edited) And I'll say this about MLB TV... I love it... The offer I took was basically the last 2 months of the season for $34.99... BUT, for veterans, they offer a 35% discount meaning I have access to almost every MLB game (except Astros blackouts and games on Apple TV+) making it $24.62 for me... I'm so impressed with it, I'll probably just let it auto-renew for next season 🙂 Edited August 17, 2023 by IUFLA 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I do like the product, aside from the crappy blackout rules. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IU Scott Posted August 17, 2023 Report Share Posted August 17, 2023 The good and the bad from last night's games. The good Reds win, Brewers lost and Marlins lost The bad Cubs win on a 3 run walk off homer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Move to Texas 🙂 Only the Astros and Rangers for me... And I found this weird when looking at the MLB. TV blackout rules... "All San Francisco Giants and Oakland Athletics live games will be blacked out in the U.S. territory of Guam" What? That's a 12+ hour flight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helped quicken a 8-9hr drive by listening to some baseball. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We played Cog all day yesterday and last second a buddy called and said he had 4 tickets. Never remember a game going from so utterly pissed off to elation in 5 seconds. Man these guys need to find it soon. This stretch is where we catch and pass the Brewers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Reds have had a multitude of AAAA players the last 30 years. Guys that tear it up in AAA but can't cut the mustard at the big league level. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
