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.

      Where are the pollyannas?

      There are plenty of legit questions and things to address. Gunnar’s playoff performance is not one of them. He had two bad games on a big stage. Happens even to clutch guys. That’s why you have teammates. This was a collective offensive failure. I’ll give Mullins the one pass  I want Gunnar to focus on fixing his throwing motion and cutting down the unforced fielding errors.

      Here here. Totally agree. This team is boring as paint drying to watch.

      I fear the O's & Stros may have just handed NYY the AL pennant on a platter.  Detroit and KC are Cinderellas but I doubt the Yankees will lose to any of these AL Central teams in a long series.

      They don’t know what they are talking about. The same people complaining about the lack of clutch hitting this year are the same people that constantly complained about Adam Frazier being on the team last year. It’s clear that anyone who wants to be positive or try to find a silver lining isn’t welcome here. Just a bunch of crybabies who’d prefer to blame a group of fine young players for losing instead of giving credit to the other team for winning.

      I stopped reading at page 8 because I'm losing ground on this post: 1. The hitting coaches and the "Offensive Strategy Coach" needs to be the 1st out the door. Is the OSC guy a analytics guy, while the regular HC's are hands on "here's how you swing" type? During game 1, Ragans and Burnes were cruising along, when Ced led off the 3rd with a double. I was thinking maybe Hyde knew this could be a close game, however, McCann did not square to bunt, nor give any indication he would be pushing the ball to the right side and move Ced over.  The Royals never had to change their defensive approach.. and no message was sent to the Royals manager that we weren't above small ball. Yet, like time and time again this year, runners were never advanced and Hyde let the players play. McCann is a pretty good bunter (that I recall). So why not show your willingness to move runners? 2. Does Sig and team put out a game map with analytics for everything baseball, and every situation? What happens if Hyde goes against the "analytics" and tells a player to bunt a guy over? Does Hyde get called into the office? I'm serious, is Hyde a puppet for the analytics or does he have free rein in-game? The answer to the question would be whether I think Hyde should stay or go. While Mountcastle has truly struggled at times with outside pitches, he's a very good 1st baseman.. and does keep a pretty good average/HR/RBI etc. He's frustrating, but not a failure. We can't keep getting rid of every player any more.. we don't have a lot of people in the minors, and who know how much Mr. R is willing to spend.

      This team isn’t winning anything unless it trades Holliday, Bassallo or Mayo

      Yes, sorry, 3B Westburg. Seemed to hold it down pretty good pre injury.
