Informative thank you. What’s the VPN fee?

There's a quote somewhere on there. I can't remember. Not as much as the MLB subscription. Maybe half? I went with the two year plan and just forget about it for 24 months.

Great job by ESPN introducing the nation to the Orioles tonight. I thought they were just going to talk about the Red Sox and the Orioles would be incidental.

Yeah I was surprised how much focus was on the Orioles.  Even ESPN is sick of the Red Sox… definitely too many distractions from the game if it were an ordinary Sunday Night Baseball broadcast, but ki

You can use stream east and pretty much works every game and don’t have to pay vpn fee either.  That the only way I can watch it as I am in the blackout area yet because I live 30 minutes west of Charlotte our provider doesn’t carry it but we still blacked out on mlb package.

https://www.privateinternetaccess.com has worked like a charm for me for almost 2 full years now as I cut the cord from DirecTV. Made no sense for me to pay over $100 / mo for 12 months just for six months of O's games. Now I just pay the baseball subscription and the yearly VPN fee, which is reasonable. I occasionally have to re-start my Mac if there's a problem logging in (maybe three times this year). I begin with the tab for MLB-TV closed. I shut the website down and log out after every game. I initiate the VPN and then re-open the MLB-TV tab and log in. I log out of MLB-TV after every game. I can't stay logged into the VPN when I'm not tuned in to baseball because my other streaming services do not always allow out of US log ins. But it's easy enough just to do this for O's games.

My Mac is a Mac Mini and I just run an HDMI into an open slot on my HDTV. I run a cable from the headphones out jack and into my stereo. 

Private Internet Access is my go-to VPN as well. The subscription also gives you access to a mobile device which also works well, since otherwise I’m geo-blocked from a lot of US newspapers and articles.

Yea, they did a good job with that.

Just one man's opinion, but I think some of these national telecasts get too cute for their own good at times, though. One or two too many mic'd ups, guest interviews, and special features across the entire production.

I agree. I like a unique feature here and there in the national broadcasts but in games last night the game itself starts to feel like a side show to the other constant segments.

I think you mean the Red Sox are playing on ESPN and the Os will also be there. :D

It turned out to be the opposite.

ESPN threw Adley in everyone's face last night. It was almost too much, but it was a nice change from slobbering over the Red Sox.

I just wish they threw Mateo more love. I may have missed it, but they seemed to totally miss his mid-season profile change.

Glad the Orioles got some extra exposure, but the broadcast almost felt like a spring training/exhibition game at times.

      Is there a 5th O's #1 Prospect?

      By OriolesUpAndDowns · Posted

      Good point on the age.  I think it would have to be someone like Nate George from this year's draft just blowing up next year. The story would be how everyone missed on him because he played in a cold weather state.

      First, Schmidt is having a better year than Cole. Second, the O's teed off Ragans and Lugo last time they faced them.

      Elias needs to use better judgement when he dumpster dives, prepare better for the high percentage chance that his dumpster diving pickups will fail, and increase usage of other means to get pieces. Bullpen usage is another problem, but it’s hard to effectively juggle flaming torches. A wrong move burns badly

      DH - O'Hearn v. Kjerstad

      By e16bball · Posted

      I can see the case for Mountcastle based on defense alone, but what has Kjerstad done to warrant that kind of treatment? Is it the .505 OPS he’s put up since coming back? The overall .438 ML OPS since getting hit in the head? I’m as bummed as anyone that his season got derailed, but if you’re talking about where they are right now — he’s not your huckleberry. As for O’Hearn, he’s 8 for his last 23 (.348), with 3 doubles. That feels a little like the “getting himself together” that you referenced. He had an awful month-long slump, but he also has an extended track record (over 1.5 seasons) of excelling in the role he’s now back in, as the platoon LH 1B/DH guy. He had a 125 wRC+ in those 750 PAs as an Oriole until 8/20, which is roughly when Mountcastle went out.  I’d be good with Kjerstad DHing against LH starters, because there’s good reason to think he hits them better than O’Hearn. And if they want to play both O’Hearn and Kjerstad against some RHPs, in order to set up the potential of Mountcastle coming in to PH against a lefty reliever, I’m down for that too. But the primary alignment is going to (and should) be the Mountcastle/O’Hearn duo we’ve gotten accustomed to seeing.

      By Moose Milligan · Posted

      The Achilles heel for this team is going to be the unit that doesn't step up in the postseason. I can easily see scenarios where: the bullpen is hot and provides good performances but the offense sputters and isn't clutch the offense comes up big but the bullpen blows games late starting pitching tosses some clunkers (not really likely with Burnes and Eflin) and they can't recover the defense sucks and gives opponents extra outs to work with, blowing games open when the bullpen or SP would have been able to escape and continue We've seen all of these units falter at one point or another during this season.  We've also seen all of these units perform very well at different times throughout the season.  So, we'll see what turns out to be the Achilles heel for the Orioles in the playoffs starting next week.

      I agree I missed the mark on a correct forum, and ask a moderator to please relocate to Rants as that game annoyed me yesterday. I appreciate the strong moderators here and know I'm not one of them.     Sorry for making it worse at a tough moment.    I won't bump it again, even ironically if we kick their butts in the playoffs.
