Yeah the lineups are limited as well so no worries there.

Homers- Eloy Hits- Tim ("bat"-man) Steals- Luis (robber)

Because minors innings count as innings too. And these two can come in for starters that get pulled early and give you three innings here and there. The only reason it would make sense to send them to the minors is to get an extra year.

Well you can sign up using a hotel address. I always use a local hotel address for where my fake location will be. You can also set up "payment" through PayPal to avoid the billing address problem. The key here is the MLB app itself. If you have an MLB account it will snitch on you if you aren't careful. That is why I was saying not to put the MLB app on the device you will use the MLB TV app and VPN on. And I would definitely stay logged out of the MLB app at home. If you need to buy tickets using it or to show your tickets, step outside and do it. And as I said previously, do not use the same account info and email for MLB TV that you use for the MLB app. That app sings like a canary and you will get blacked out.

The VPN will do the trick if you get a decent one. The IP address is what they go by and you can relocate yourself to another town not in the Chicago market. You want to select a place that has people in it and has a bad local baseball team you wouldn't watch or wouldn't play us often. But make sure you create a burner MLB account just for MLB TV that is not associated with an account you previously used or one that you bought tickets with.

Stick to Colorado. I've been using it for the longest and haven't had any issues with games except for the Rockies. Sometimes leaving the country puts people in a bad spot so YMMV. Like I said though, I can help you next month take care of this.

The Yankees for sure have a better lineup when healthy. That's not a knock on our lineup, just that theirs is loaded and proven. We don't really know for sure what we are getting from Madrigal, Vaughn, and Eaton. We also are hoping that Yoan and Robert are consistently their normal selves this year. The Yankees question mark is health.

Eaton batting second for the season if pretty unlikely. What you get from Eaton batting second you can get from him batting 8th. If he and Madrigal get on base then Tim and Yo can still drive them in.

No necessarily. Moncada can bat 2nd, Robert 7th, and Eaton 8th. I agree with TLR here, Robert needs to start 6th or 7th with Vaughn until they become consistent. Personally, I would bat Robert 6th and Vaughn 7th to start the year.

Mariner boy ruined the service time game for everyone. Gotta pull out all the stops now.

One of the better walk off home runs I've seen.

His ceiling was being compared to Jose Atuve and Dustin Pedroia. Nick can still become a very good baseball player and we need to give him a little time.

That's not happening this time around. The Sox want a championship and need him to DH and spell Abreu at 1B the first two months of the season. They also need Vaughn to get his feet wet so that by around July or August, he can be established and ready for the stretch run.

There isn't much news right now, except for the typical fluff. Once the news starts cranking up, it will be discussed more.

I know what he meant. My point is this will not stop because some people believe the hiring of TLR has toxified the team and organization, and others will disagree. Things will die down once the season starts and we are winning games.

TLR is a part of the team.

You want to pick a market where people exist. Kind of the whole blending in with the crowd idea.

Gio was a fleece. Eloy was a big fleece as the Cubs got meh out of Q. Ceas3 may end up a big fleece as well. The difference is that Eloy sucks at defense so you lose a lot of HOF value. Shields was also completely worthless before we got him. Q may have been meh with the Cubs, but he did contribute to playoff teams.

I wonder if the MLB will let people watch the games free this year for spring training.

Yep. If you download the Tmobile mlbtv option or want to buy the MLBtv let me know. I'll show you how to do it, it is really simple. The trick is you want to be far away in the US away from teams we typically play. The Rockies are going to be shit so I'd pick them. They are NL, we won't have to worry about playing them for any reason.

They are blocked out if you want them to be. "Location" is the key.

I read a post and some replies yesterday asking if Hahn should have left and if he could get another GM job. TA7 was the one guy people thought would forever hate TLR. He doesn't hate him so it's time for everyone to move on.

Lol yeah right. Reading this board and Twitter is full of TLR hate and posts about JR screwing Hahn over etc. Nice try though.

Oh no. Many feathers will be rustled by that tweet. Everyone wants to leave the organization because of TLR. Why would TA lie and say things that are 100 percent false? Was TA coerced into making that statement?

Exactly. At this point I think people are mad because it is fashionable to be disgruntled. TLR is here and the roster is what it is. I wasn't completely happy with things but all I, or anyone other fan can do is let it play out. Being upset even before ST starts is a waste of time. There will be plenty of time to be pissed if things fail.
