The only reason for cable TV is internet delivery and Live sport coverage. The only.

The Nationals can’t be pleased with this, right?

Yes, MLB is going to put several games on YouTube next year.   

Oh. Like their current free game of the week thing they do? That's cool. I was wishful thinking some mega deal where all games would be available. Maybe one day!

They sued people for sharing on  Napster.  When Napster first came up I was in my first job out of college in the fall of 1999 we were set up napster servers in our offices. We had T1 line linking us to the Internet and to our DC offices.  I was looking my co-workers Napster server and I saw he was using the whole T1 bandwidth I told him he might want to cut some of the bandwidth usage and I the next thing I heard was an announcement that the phone lines were down.   If you did something like that a few years later you would have been instantly fired but back then it was all new. 

I think I had something like 100,000 downloads from my server Thanksgiving holiday that year. I only turned my server on during the weekends. Not too many people had T1 Napster servers back then. 

Now you can stream every song in the world for $6.99 a month.  How things have changed.   

It was only because that short, whiny drummer complained about Napster and not getting paid. Things were fine before then.

Also, you can't stream every song in the world. Some you still have to dig for in vinyl crates in some far off land to get a chance to listen to. Or maybe only one test press was available and that was the only way to ever hear the song. Sorry for being so literal!

I hope this ends the idea that the Orioles are still not a big deal. Yes the DC market is bigger so the Nats had more viewers. That said, the Orioles went into the season telling anyone who would listen they would be awful. The Nats did have a bad start but they end up in the playoffs. 

And as usual these numbers for local baseball far outperform the Caps and Wizards.

They didn’t agree on price.   

I’m pretty sure that the O’s recently (last 2 years or so) negotiated new long term deals with Comcast and Fios.    It looks like they offered the same terms to RCN but they wouldn’t agree.   It’ll be a bummer for a few thousand fans who use RCN, but isn’t really a “trend” in that Comcast and Fios are locked in for a good while and carry vastly  more subscribers than RCN.

FIOS (Verizon) and Comcast may be locked in but not me.

Just downgraded to  a package that does not include MASN

Yep and all this "will the fans come back?" stuff. If the Orioles build a winner, the stadium will be packed and the ratings will be high.

      The discussion about Cle vs NYY is interesting. The Os always struggle at Cle and their BP is awesome but the starters are meh and so is the offense.

      Winter 2024 40-Man Additions

      By Jammer7 · Posted

      Bautista, if he is back to his old self, would be a big addition. Dominguez and Soto have to improve the walk rate. They certainly have swing and miss, but at a significant cost. Cano can throw up in the zone and get misses, but he is used so often he is rarely sharp. He is used to induce ground balls, and the sinker is fairly effective when he is tired.  Akin, Webb and Coulombe are getting some swing and miss. They are all above average in swinging strike percentage, according to FanGraphs. MLB average is generally around 11.2% from year to year, and Akin (second on the Orioles behind Grayson 13.6) is at 13.2, Dominguez 12.4, Cano 12.2, Soto 12.9, Webb 11.8, Coulombe is 9.9 and Cionel 9.5. In fairness to Coulombe (11.8) and Webb (13.7), they are higher over the last three years. They have not been healthy for a fair amount of this season and pitched through some things that made those numbers dip, perhaps.  Bautista was 18% in the same period of 2022-2024. He would be 11th in MLB in 2024. No other Oriole is in the top 100 in MLB. Grayson Rodriguez is at #120. It should be noted that Andrew Walters is at 18.8, ranking 7th. He was our unsigned 18th round pick in 2022. All of that aside, I am not sure the pen is structured the same as in recent years. There may be some moves there. Or, perhaps it is like you wrote, and they focus on Soto and Dominguez making adjustments to having more command, decreasing the walks. Those two are getting a little expensive as well. I guess we’ll see.

      How much different? They sat Judge yesterday, they threw their playoff starters for 5+ innings yesterday and today. They are also playing for the best record in the AL. They aren't mailing it in.

      2024 Playoff ticket availability

      By KojiSplit · Posted

      It’s not just the O’s. I’ve checked the Dodgers who have similar prices and they have a lot of upper deck NLDS games 2 & 3 available. Same for the NLCS. yanks still have seats available also. — In general, I’m sure alot of fans are just gonna wait till the day of to grab tickets.

      That makes no sense. If they had to win their current series would have looked much different.

      I agree. You have to wonder if the Yankees are behind him getting hit. Perhaps the ghost of George has struck
