Two of my current Sox players among many. They have spunk.

7th or 8th inning with a short leash. Until he stops walking every other batter, he is virtually useless.

Getz should get a lot of credit from WS fans. This team is one of the most entertaining in Sox history. He has missed badly on some guys, but all in all, I'm delighted with this year's product.

Turns out fans will come to see a team that plays good baseball. Who would have thought?

Fans paid good money to see the best the players have to offer...not just go through the motions of finishing a lopsided game.

Reinsdorf sounds like some guys here on Soxtalk.

Satisfied?

Normally, he likes to start things off with a walk.

A closer that can't throw strikes is worthless IMO.

For a part-time player, Beni is frequently quite useful. His salary is the big negative, but that is Jerry's problem, not mine.

Walks can not be in a closer's arsenal.

Agreed...I feel that way about the whole infield and outfield. When our walking wounded return, this is a very good team.

Jerry is not going to push "all in" at this stage of the game. If we make a big move, it will be because Ishiba has more input than we have been led to believe.

They have been unwatchable since 2021, when Tony LaRussa was brought back to manage our team. I am regaining some optimism, but Jerry needs to turn over the managing partner title to Ishiba sooner rather than later.

I hope you keep the honor for a long...long time.

I am as unhappy with this start as anyone, but we should be 1-2 after starting on the road against a good team. We need to take a step back from the edge and take a fresh look after 20 games or so. The first two games didn't bother me, but this one did hurt.

A winning team is key IMO.

I wanted to go 83-86, but 81 is my target win total.

Go with your World Series-caliber team thought. Much more fun to dream happy thoughts.

Same problem.

Do you use it on an actual TV? I put the games on TV using ROKU.

Thanks to all who responded. I set up a VPN and now sit back and wait for MLB.TV to broadcast 2026.

Thanks for your response. A few more questions, please. What makes using a streaming device, such as ROKU, for TV different than a computer? If you were making the decision today...which VPN would you use (I see that Windscribe is still available? Would you recommend closing my existing MLB.TV account and then opening a new account using the VPN filter? What claimed State has no blackouts. Am I correct to assume Indiana and Iowa are blacking out someone? Thanks again for your help. I am not very fluent in the workarounds of these systems.

I live in Michigan and cut the cord years ago. Have been using MLV.TV for many years. Now there are some new things to consider, apparently. Does anyone have an opinion on what might be the best way to get the most WS baseball for the buck? Currently, I am blacked out of Detroit games and a few "special" games.

Patience...I think it's coming. Spring training highlights the needs for most teams.
