How much longer would that extra step have taken ? 5 minutes max maybe ? Dude what can I say if people don't want to go through extra security steps that's up to you. We all know hacking is a huge problem and if we don't take the necessary steps to protect our money,identity and privacy things will get worse. Heck with the internet and cell phones privacy really doesn't exist anymore.

Excuse me I was very helpful in every Apple thread explaining how to use this opportunity to watch the Sox on Apple. This I think is the 3rd thread on it and if people had paid attention during the 1st 2 threads instead of crying about what a hassle it is this thread wouldn't have existed. Yes it is some peoples fault for waiting till the last minute then panicking when they couldn't figure it out. I didn't see you in any of the other threads helping people by explaining in simple terms how to get the games for free. Apple products are too expensive for me. Watching these games for free doesn't give Apple 1 damn dime from my pocket or anyone else. That's not the kind of support Apple is looking for. Sure they want you to tune in and watch the game and maybe you'll also check out some Apple programming while you are there . Any station with programming wants you to buy their product. I , for one, appreciate watching free baseball , and I took the time necessary to get it . Apple didn't make it difficult for me .

He did it for 150 innings last year coming off 2 season of barely pitching. Now that he has those innings under his belt he could very well pitch a whole season. But that won't stop the Giants from taking care of him better than the Sox did.

To be fair, Ptatc has not even suffered a scratch yet on the hill. It's a long , long season. Since myself and him have taken up a lot of space discussing this I will say that his position is based on Rodon's injury history and the belief that he has not substantially improved his mechanics. My position has been that Rodon was worth the risk given that most of the pitchers signed this off season in the Rodon range do not even come close to pitching at the level Rodon did last year .Also that the Sox abused him in his first 18 starts with little regard for the fact that he had barely pitched the previous 2 seasons, which given the advancements in biomechanics and his past injury history, was akin to hitting him with a stick over and over and having no concern whatsoever about him making it through the season.

I never said it's impossible for him to get hurt. I wouldn't say that about any pitcher or any player. I said "still " because it's the fair thing to say. The rest of what I said about Hahn still applies.

I have no idea since I cancelled my MLB subscription because of the strike and the fact I can watch Sox games for free on my computer. SO if the Sox play the Dodgers I'll still be able to watch them. All I know is that since I don't pay for anything I never see the Dodgers on free TV except tonight on Apple TV.

Just imagine the Sox facing the Giants in the World Series with Rodon still pitching for the Giants. Then ask yourself "Is Hahn working for the Giants ? " Why the hell would you ask that question !?! Ok No QO means no draft pick, which means teams would probably have offered Rodon less money ,so the Sox made it easier for any team to sign him for less money ,thereby ,making it harder for the Sox to sign him. Now to stretch this a little bit farther what if the draft pick the Sox might've got from the Giants turns into a really good player !

Just amazed people are still asking that. I'm old and not even that tech savvy and even I can figure this out . I still dislike cell phones ! Should've done it for last weeks game to work out whatever kinks or problems you are having. Apple TV is not Apple TV + .All you need is the Apple TV app which is free for most smart TV's . My only caveat is I have had an itunes account forever and they do have my financial info. If that made it easier to set up an Apple TV (used the same email and password as my itunes) account then great for me. But once u have Apple TV you just click on the Apple TV+ tab and the game is right there to also click on. Sounds like you applied for a free trial of Apple TV+ which was not necessary at all. I'm in California so blackout rules for Sox games in the Chicagoland area do not apply to me. One more thing I live in L.A.County about a 1/2 hr. from Dodger Stadium and I'm watching the followup game to the Sox game Dodgers @ Reds and I'm not blacked out !

Very solid . Burger did great. Cease made a big jump last year and if he jumps just a bit more year, he's right up there in the top 10% of starting pitchers. Heck he may have been that last year.

Elite is a term I don't throw around loosely. Hell I used to get upset with guys in beer league softball camped under routine fly balls in CF dropping them and they are 35 yrs old without pro gloves and catching a bigger ball and really really far away from being the best of the best in the world.

They'll do it way before mid season. If he went 7 today I'm guessing he wasn't over 100 pitches. I'm sure someone will tell me if he was.

He is great. It's like arguing if God or Buddha is better . But I don't ever recall Engel camped under routine fly balls and dropping them.

LOL WTF why even bring up 2020 (sss) ? It was 2 attempts in CF. It was like 2020 (SSS) . Are you kidding me bringing that up ? That's just sad.

Rest easy worriers !!

Yeah ! And outlaw football and basketball !

Make up call ? That 2nd pitch to Choi was right down the middle !

They say they are algorithms that take a bunch of stuff into consideration. They've named some of them but I'm not remembering it all. So all you people who are into advanced metric are all of a sudden doubting their algorithms without having any idea what exactly goes into it just because it looks weird ?

Light years ?Statcast OAA say they both catch more than they are supposed to in CF with their Success rate higher than their expected success rate. Looks pretty equal to me.

Eh I don't know we've seen Robert dropping routine fly balls

Minnie Minioso ?

You're right . Proactive , preventive medicine , like they should 've been doing with Rodon last season !!!

When he gets hurt everyone will be like I told you so, but I'd have taken him back in a heartbeat. QO then sign him asap in the off season if Boras wouldve allowed it .

Rays would hold onto him and replace Moncada with him as soon as Moncada got expensive and trade Moncada for more better minor leaguers .Of course I'd probably trust the Rays scouts than ours .
