Oh, I get the why of the way they were designed, I just don't get other 'why?'. They are still, IMO, stupid and ugly

 

[AugieTN]

I just hope they don't do anything stupid trying to speed up the game again. I still think the man on 2nd base in extra innings is really stupid.

I like the pitch clock. I like the shift rule. I hate the man on 2nd rule.

There are still a lot of crazy ideas to speed up the game out there. They would also ruin the game.

What Happened to Baseball Jerseys?​

They really do look cheap and second rate. Thin t-shirts with iron on lettering. Ugh

I had a better looking jersey when I was 12 playing ball for the local lumber company.

I guarantee they will change the see through pants before the regular season starts.

 

[Unforgiven]

So I finally saw some of the fuss over the uniforms. Holy crap, they are bad. Like Chinese knockoff bad.

The SD LAD pre season game is on ESPN. It is the bottom of the 5th with the Dodgers enjoying a one run lead with one out. They just had a sac fly its now 3-1

 

[Clementine_3]

Are they blurring out their pants?

 

[olbriar]

Being a guy... I didn't pay any attention. The Dodgers won.

 

[AugieTN]

With the pants they need to start carding people going to the game

MLB claimed that not much has changed in the pants of their widely condemned new uniforms.

MLB claims pants materials haven’t changed on heavily ridiculed new uniforms

MLBN's 30 Clubs 15 days segment on the Royals was tonight. They like the changes the Royals have made and have them picked to take second or first in the American League Central. I'll believe it when I see it.

 

[olbriar]

I've not seen a single KC spring training game. I know that they don't mean a great deal but I'd like to watch them and get to know the new team. I see that their record so far is 9-4. I don't know what their preseason record was last year but it wasn't good. Oh well... I'm ready for some baseball!

If voters pass ballpark sales tax, Royals will ask Kansas City and Missouri for $700 million more​

I'm not convinced they need a new stadium. Living in Kansas and not Missouri, I'm not really impacted by any local or state tax to fund the adventure. It's not like Kaufman or Arrowhead stadiums are run down facilities. They show their age but have aged well.

Another instance of the splintering of viewers for MLB is announced. I guess Apple TV + will again have their slice of the pie on Friday nights by broadcasting two games.
“Friday Night Baseball” returns to Apple TV+ on March 29

It looks like those two games are shared with Apple TV I see them list as available to watch on MLBTV

Right. Nothing in the article says exclusive coverage. It just brings the programming to the Apple+ subscribers that have no other viewing option.

 

[AugieTN]

OI hope MLBTV keeps it that way
