    Thanks for the tip! Looks like you don’t even need MLB.TV to get that $20 price on MILB.TV at this link: http://www.milb.tv/yearlydiscount And it appears you can stack a 35% military or student discount, which could make it as cheap as $13? You do have to create a free MILB.TV account first if you don’t have one already (it is a separate account system from MLB.TV/MLB.com).

    You are technically correct, I was sharing the abbreviated version! I can’t recall any players that the original team refused to take back, since they no longer require a 40-man roster spot at that point. Maybe an extreme injury case like Nick Burdi?
  3. Otto von Ballpark
    The Twins can’t do anything to remove his Rule 5 restrictions. Baddoo would have to clear waivers first, with Rule 5 restrictions still attached, after which he would be removed from the 40-man roster and returned to the Twins org. At that point, he could be traded without restrictions just like any other non-40-man minor leaguer.

    Stashak optioned today, Derek Law added to take his place.

    Stashak optioned, Derek Law added to the roster. Blankenhorn DFA to make room on the 40-man.

    Although it’s one way to encourage complete games and higher pitch counts...

    Twins game is resuming, according to MLB.TV.
  8. Otto von Ballpark
    Who’ll stop it?
  9. Otto von Ballpark
    Colomé innings, sure.

    Anybody here with MLB.TV? They have a stream called “Big Inning” on weeknights where they look in at various games and show highlights. I’m just checking it out for the first time now in the rain delay: https://www.mlb.com/live-stream-games/big-inning
  11. Otto von Ballpark
    What would be fitting is if the game resumed, the Twins fell behind in the bottom of the 7th, and then the game was called — thus adding another 7 inning loss to our record.
  12. Otto von Ballpark
    No, all suspended games are treated the same now, and resumed from the point of suspension. The 5 inning threshold just means the game could become final rather than suspended if it’s not tied (or not in an inning where the road team has just taken the lead).
  13. Otto von Ballpark
    Rule change last year means these early innings will count no matter what. Suspended games are resumed from the point of suspension now, rather than replayed in their entirety.
  14. Otto von Ballpark
    This is not true anymore, they changed the rule last year. Any game suspended before 5 innings is now resumed from that point at a later date.

    I read this as "Twins Daily will melt down Monday morning, May 10th". Thought it was a prediction for upcoming Twins news!

    Not quite. The Angels DFA'd another catcher today to make room for Butera on both the 26-man and 40-man rosters. They made a bunch of other moves yesterday along with Pujols too. Edit to add: founding father / outfielder Jon Jay is really the guy who took Pujols spot. Makes sense as they need an outfielder a lot more than a backup DH. They also swapped pitchers and catchers yesterday. All of those moves were official before their Thursday evening game. The Butera move is most definitely separate, an additional catcher swap today.

    Is there a negativity prize of which I am unaware? I stepped away for a few minutes and read this, thinking Shoemaker had imploded. But as far as I can tell, he gave up two singles, got a strikeout, then a double play. A scoreless second inning, after a 1-2-3 first.
  18. Otto von Ballpark
    They said upthread, they're watching through Extra Innings via their cable provider, not MLB.TV.
  19. Otto von Ballpark
    So is this Xfinity site outdated? https://www.xfinity.com/support/articles/watch-mlb-extra-innings-hd Do I need to pay extra to access MLB.TV? No, MLB.TV is included with your subscription of MLB EXTRA INNINGS. How do I access MLB.TV? If you have an MLB EXTRA INNINGS subscription, follow these steps to activate your MLB.TV account: Go to secure.mlb.com/tv/activate. Select Xfinity as your provider. Sign in using your Xfinity ID and password. Create a new MLB.com account or sign in with your existing account to link your Xfinity ID and password with MLB.TV. Edit to add: MLB.TV is also mentioned prominently on this page: https://www.xfinity.com/learn/digital-cable-tv/sports/mlb/extra-innings

    Sorry, I thought you were talking about MLB.TV. But can you link Extra Innings to a MLB.com account here? https://www.mlb.com/live-stream-games/help-center/extra-innings-mlbtv-is-included Then you could watch through MLB.TV and use MLB.TV support too, I assume.

    Of course, before 1995 it was harder to make the playoffs at all, and before 1969 it was very difficult. The Twins missed the postseason 3 times in the 1960s with 91 wins! In those days, a bad start would doom your season. Since 1995, there have been a fair number of WS participants with 88-92 wins, and one as low as 83, so it’s a little easier to recover from a bad start these days than through most of baseball history. The whole league seems to be a bit more even in 2021 so far (no team starting better than 18-12), and as another poster mentioned, our division in particular is still wide open. Still better to win than lose, of course!
  22. Otto von Ballpark
    Did you call or text MLB.TV support? They can usually fix it while you are on the phone.
  23. Otto von Ballpark
    FYI, lineups out for tonight, and Larnach is not in it. He's with the team in Detroit, however. LF Garlick (and batting leadoff!), CF Cave, RF Kepler
  24. Otto von Ballpark
    The universe didn't have to be so quick about disproving this hypothetical!
  25. Otto von Ballpark
    You guessed right! It's official now: Waddell has been DFA'd, to make room on the 40-man for Larnach.
