    Time to get Dobnack loose. 🙁
  2. UpstateNewYorker
    Thanks. It's back up here also.
  3. UpstateNewYorker
    I have the same issue. Seems like a MLB.TV problem. FWIW the Saturday game is on FS1.
  4. UpstateNewYorker
    I can't get to MLB.TV either on any device.
  5. UpstateNewYorker
    He's not throwing a lot of strikes; currently only 35 strikes in 62 pitches.
  6. UpstateNewYorker
    Agreed. The Mets were sold in 2020 for 2.4 billion. I'm sure someone would pay more than that for the Dodgers if they were for sale.
  7. UpstateNewYorker
    And it does seem like there are only a handful of teams that can even compete with the Dodgers (Phillies, Braves, and by default whoever make the World Series from the AL).
  8. UpstateNewYorker
    I have to shake my head that situational hitting is only now a focus for the organization.

    MLB has parity only in the sense that the current playoff system of 12 teams making the playoffs produces somewhat random results in terms of championships. The Yankees have qualified for the postseason in 11 of the last 15 seasons. And here are the Dodgers recent win totals excluding the Covid year: 98, 100, 111, 106, 106, 92, 104, and four more seasons in the 90s. The big market teams have a decent chance every year to make the World Series. Even well run small market teams struggle to make the playoffs on a consistent basis, and when they do, they have an uphill road to the World Series. The Brewers have qualified in six of the last seven seasons but have not played in the WS those years.

    I have a bargin basement 32" Visio as my second TV. Maybe their more expensive TVs have more apps available.
  11. UpstateNewYorker
    Thanks. I am able to "cast" from some (bt not all) phones. The MLB app is not one of the apps that can be downloade to my Visio TV (it's not in Visio's list of apps).
  12. UpstateNewYorker
    Good point, thanks!
  13. UpstateNewYorker
    I was not able to cast from my Samsung android phone, but my daughter was able to cast from her iPhone. Might be a user error on my part! Thanks for the feedback.

    One in-the-weeds question: I have been watching the Twins on MLB.tv (which I get free as a T-Mobile customer). On my LG TV the MLB app is available. On my discount Visio smart TV the MLB app is not available -- it is not pre-installed and is not in the list of apps that can be downloaded. So I watch the games on the LG TV or on a PC. But is there any solution to the MLB app not being available on the Visio TV?

    For Correa to go to either NY team I assume he'd have to move to 3B. Volpe and Lindor are recent Gold Glove winners, so I doubt they would be moved. Maybe Correa would be OK with this, but I doubt it.
  16. UpstateNewYorker
    That takes me back! As I recall we called him Big Bird. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gilles_Lupien

    I grew up watching the AHL Rochester Americans, and I remember the Bisons' logo.

    The $99 would be just for Twins games, according to a previous post: "The in-market, blackout-free streaming option for MLB-distributed teams last season was $99.99 for the season or $19.99 per month, and there seems to be a sense that Twins fans should expect similar." I have the MLB.TV package (free because I have TMobile for cell service) but I think the whole MLB package was $139 last year. The Mets and Yankees games are blacked out for me here in NY State, because these broadcasts are not "MLB-distributed."
  19. UpstateNewYorker
    Completely agree. Back in the Moneyball era "analytics" was about finding advantages in the margins. With the larger bases it would seem that base stealing and taking the extra base is a small area teams can exploit. We're supposedly an analytical organization but the Twins haven't gotten any more athletic since these rules were implemented.
  20. UpstateNewYorker
    Great points. Very few of our recent call-ups have been even average defensively. It does seem like defensive ability is a low priority for the FO, which to me is a glaring problem.
  21. UpstateNewYorker
    Wallner's throw was halfway to third base.
  22. UpstateNewYorker
    Seattle is winning. Have to keep an eye on them.
  23. UpstateNewYorker
    Thanks to Buck wearing the oven mitt.
  24. UpstateNewYorker
    Two innings in a row where the lead-off batter went one pitch, one out. Drives me nuts when they are down a run and need a base runner.
  25. UpstateNewYorker
    Remember when we used to score runs?
