    MLBTV/VPN

    Added the VPN to the TV through our router/mesh system (would have never figured that out on my own). I was trying to get it up on my laptop and connect to the TV through an HDMI.

    My wife figured it out and got me in. She won't tell my her trick though or how she troubleshot it. Punishing me for my poor attitude over the last 45 minutes while I was missing the game.

    I meant to say when I have it turned *off I'm blacked out. When it's on I can't even access the games. MLB seems to read that I have a VPN regardless of location, and blocks me from accessing my account.

    Anyone running into issues avoiding the blackout? When I turn on my VPN (Nord VPN) it blocks me from accessing my subscription and when the VPN is turned off I'm blacked out. Is there a workaround for this?
  5. Not sure how they expect Cowser to ever hit lefties if he doesn’t get chances to. Most top five overall picks/top 50 prospects aren’t immediately pidgeon holed into a platoon role in favor of no-hit utility infielders.
  6. Santander. Cowser plays every day in RF.
  7. Why would they sign him to a guaranteed contract worth 1 mil if they intended to release him after a month? This just makes no sense and reeks of Odor and Frazier. At least those guys had some upside with the bat.
  8. We'll be begging for Adam Frazier after watching this guy at the plate. Really hope this is Triple A depth rather than a signing for the big league team? But hey, it can't much worse than carrying Nevin.
  9. I would take him at 1/25 or 2/40. That's the new going rate for a number 2 or 3 starter, which is what he is. I think it's tough to get your head around the money, but then you gotta look around the rest of the league and see what guys are getting paid.
  10. Pretty shocked that Nevin made the team. Not a huge McKenna fan, but I see more value there as a RH hitter who can play center and spell Mullins once a week. Is he going to be used as the LHH half of a platoon with O'Hearn? I would prefer to see Santander at DH and Cowser in the OF on those days, but they may not want Cowser facing lefties.
  11. MLB TV is $150 for the season ($130 if you only want to pay for one team) a good VPN only runs about $5/month. We just got rid of cable and this seemed to be the best approach.
  12. It will be interesting to see how often he plays. He could play nearly every day if Hyde is willing to rotationally sit Hays/Mullins/Santander/O’Hearn/Mounty If you platoon O’Hearn/Mountcastle, then Santander is your DH and that opens up an everyday spot for Cowser in RF. This is what I’d like to see although hard to imagine Mountcastle being reduced to the weak side of a platoon.
  13. McKenna appears he will make the team as the fifth outfielder. Do we need a fifth outfielder? Hard to imagine him getting many at bats, unless Hyde plays him over Cowser. Could be in there against some tough lefties with Mullins sitting. I would have rather seen Kjerstad or Mayo considering we have a few guys capable of playing center.
  14. Anyone else having an issue with the mlbtv link when you try to purchase the season package? The link is not found….404 error message.
  15. I'd be fine with trading Urias. I rather have him as my utility infielder than Mateo though. One of them needs to go IMO. I don't see how Holliday and Mayo both fit into roster without that happening and it's tough to imagine them not both being on the club by the end of May. Perhaps Mountcastle could be traded, but I see this as an unlikely scenario. Urias or Mateo should be very easy to move. Take whatever decent bullpen arm you can get, or just cut them loose.
