It looks like we are going to be able to buy local Oriole broadcasts over streaming services. This has been my one big hesitant to getting rid of cable. Not being able to watch Oriole games. I have had enough of paying over $200 a month for content I don't use. With alternative sources like Hulu, etc there are much cheaper ways to get entertainment.

I hope I'm incorrect, but I think this isn't what you think it is.

http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-01-19/major-league-baseball-settles-with-fans-over-game-telecasts This article seems to make it about other RSNs having the ability to stream games in OUR market (and vice-versa).

As far as making single-team streaming available, they said this:

MLB said in court papers that before next season it would introduce single-team streaming packages to allow out-of-market fans to watch their ball clubs without having to pay to see other games.

That's also my problem with cord cutting. I just can't give up my O's games. I'm already paying dirt cheap prices for Netflix and I have an Amazon Prime account. My TV accesses them through my WiFi. The TV isn't on a whole lot either, because we make our kids play instead of eat snacks and watch TV shows. If I could stream O's games I would drop my service to internet only for $45-$50 a month. If I could legally stream O's games from MLB TV I would have cut it a long time ago.

So that means I can get MASN instead of the MLB package?

Interesting choice.

Hola! I hear tell there is a Chrome extension that makes your IP seem like it is from overseas, and then you can use the MLB TV package even in-market. I hear tell it was a way to work around not having TBS during the playoffs. Anyway, just wanted to say Hola...;)

Cut the cable a few years ago, once MLB.tv got really good. I would never go back. A Roku with MLB.tv, NHL live, Netflix, Hulu, Plex, Sling, is so much cheaper (and more entertaining) than old school cable.

I can't believe how much money a family allocates to cable these days. We cut ours a while ago, don't miss it, and the money we would have been spending on that each month got soaked up on our kids/groceries/something else.

My point is: the investment is not substantial.

I do pay for membership here, now. Booyakasha!

      The problem with a Cowser/Kjerstad/Stowers/Bradfield outfield roster is there are no right handers to handle LHP. I don't think and completely left handed outfield is the destination for an organization the values versatility.

      How can you not be romantic about baseball? This seems slightly poetic. I enjoyed reading, and correlated your experience in the stands back to what I watch in Game 1 on MASN.  It was also pretty cool to hear Jim Palmer give you a shout out in Game 2 of the series on Live TV.

      I am not worried.  It just doesn’t remotely meet the eye test.  He has been great in the field . I can think of at least 3 outstanding plays he has made and not any that I thought he should have gotten but didn’t. Meanwhile Holliday is 3 OAA and I can’t think of an outstanding play and can think of a number I thought he should have made.

      Nicely stated Roy. Every since I was 9 years old and saw the O's vs. the Tokyo Giants in Tokyo in 1971, I've been infected with the Orange/Black virus. There is no cure and I don't want one. You and I sat at the lunch table with Jim Palmer at the 1970 World Series Champs reunion, and its still one of my enduring baseball memories. You said I looked like Carlton Fisk! I was at all 3 games in this Angels series, right behind the O's dugout. I got to see all our boys, and just simply love to watch this team play. And in true baseball fashion, the one game on paper we should have dominated (GRod vs. 8+ ERA Channing), we end up down 7-0 and lose. But watching Gunnar's homers, his electric triple, and he made a fantastic play today on a ball that went under Westburg's glove, Adley do Adley things, Cowser, holy crap. Kimbrel v. Trout with bases loaded, bottom of 9th, 2 outs, down by 2? That was fun. Next game Trout bats leadoff and torches a GRod fastball for a homer to the opposite field.  An observation.... If you didn't know anything about the team, and you only watched game 1 batting practice, you'd think Cowser and O'Hearn were the studs of the team. Mountcastle was taking BP with the reserves and he put on a show as well.  Home after 3 straight days watching this O's team, so jealous of the Balt fans in Balt that get to see the team with regularity. It's a special bunch.

      emmett16 is right. Uppercut swings produce a lot of groundouts because the bat is not on the same plane as the ball for very long. The best swing stays on the same plane as the ball for a longer time. This will produce contact that creates backspin on the ball which makes it carry. That Ted Williams book is one of the best hitting books ever written.
