Loving watching Milb games.

A week ago, I bought the MiLB.com minor league package ($3.99/month), so I could try and watch the Minor League games when no Orioles were on. I wanted to watch the games on my laptop or phone.  I tried to make it work, but I couldn't figure it out. It's not intuitive, and the help FAQs are confusing. 

I pouted about it until the weekend, and then my wife couldn't take it anymore and figured it out for me.   I have to say I love watching the minor league games.  Watched a little of Jackson Holiday last night.   Watching Bowie now.  It's great!

Yessir it's like four times as much baseball for peanuts.

MLB.com is like 15 times as much baseball for the same price.

 

Sorry, that's a bit mean spirited, you can watch minor league games that don't involve the Oriole affiliates if you wish.

Oh, totally agree - I actually have mlb.tv but not everyone needs it.

I just appreciate that those games are accessible now. For ages and ages they weren't.

Are the minor games included with MLB.TV subscription?

 

2nd question - is the 'MLB Big Inning' feature any good?

 

I'm watching a lot more baseball this season it seems, so I'm considering subscribing.

 

Thanks in advance.

Stream EVERY out-of-market game LIVE or on demand. Plus, access to MiLB, MLB Big Inning, and local Pregame and Postgame shows (where available).

I'm out of market so it's a no brainer for me.

Been saying for years MLB has to find a way to market the minor league games and find ways to get dynamic players into the sport.  They are finally taking baby steps. 

They need to promote it.

An actual ad campaign to push the minor leagues would be refreshing.

@Can_of_cornhave you been able to watch pre and post game shows for the O’s? that’s been my main gripe of mlbtv over the years.

Otherwise I find it to be a fantastic product I use with primarily Roku for tv and sometimes watch from my iPad which has lots of neat features.

yeah if I was out of market I would have done this years ago; I'm just thinking whether its worth it for me since I'm NOT out of market - so not using it for Os games.  I've just found myself more interested in random games so far this year - seeing the Padres or Cards or whoever play is more interesting to me than it has been in recent years.  The Big Inning feature would be a big part for me, IF that is done well, so that's what I'm trying to get an opinion on.   Have you used/watched that feature much?

 

Has anyone else?

There's not any pre or post game shows for the O's. Once we see the post game interview on the field, the feed ends.

There are teams who show pre and post shows, so I hope one day we get them for the O's.

I always watch the postgame show when we win, just so I can bask in the glow of the win a little longer.  But most of the questions are “how big was that win?” and equally mundane inquiries.   They’ve also cut way back on the highlights.   I could live without it.

      Cowser’s  swing decisions are determined before the pitch is even thrown. And I’ve been saying this all year, and I even said this at the game. I go it’s too early to pinch it for him because his defense is too good but he is 100% going to strike out and that’s exactly what he did with bases loaded. He decides whether he is going to swing a pitch before even thrown This is why he swings at a thrown pretty close to his face . And To be fair,he  had a pretty good season doing that but obviously can be  easily exploited

      Cowser's progress was one of the more encouraging elements this season, especially on the defensive side. I was already crediting him with being Some Kind of Good major leaguer a post back. Between his and Adley's standout bad performances on the HBP and 2-0 count, I give Cowser more of a grace.     Sure he had predetermined intent to swing, but I think the follow through was some raw instinct as hand bones fractured. Adley not swinging was the lowlight how incapacitated he was.    I believe he commands the strike zone, but to feel so low you can't pull the trigger in that spot...sheesh.

      How does Povich fit into your 2025 plans?

      By jabba72 · Posted

      I believe Elias plans to bring in two more SP's, the quality isnt what im sure about. But no question he'll want to replace Burnes. Which is why I didnt comment in this thread yet because Povich might not have a spot open at the beginning of the year.

      Elias: It's on me

      By bobmc · Posted

      So a “Pollyanna” then like me, @wildcard and others (joking of course) 😇 I’m in your camp but really wonder if Elias/Hyde and Co. can truly“flip the script” as @Just Regular alludes.

      So thats because the extra space in the OF allows for more balls to fall in? If so, I don't really see an issue if its providing offense in a different way.

      I'm neutral on it. I don't like how the old dimensions played like a wiffle ball field. Both teams have to play on it and the O's do have two good OF's so in that sense it helps us. RHH will probably hate it so very few would ever sign in Baltimore unless they thought the O's were in World Series contention. If they put it in the middle ground then the dimensions become like every other park and Im not sure I want that. At least Camden Yards plays different.

      I agree with this.  It was a completely idiotic take to criticize the fans.  And Russo on MLB Network did as well.  Did those guys watch this team at all this year? They were under .500 for the last 88 games of the season.....the worst team in the AL East.  These were the home series they played over the last three months: Chicago Cubs (swept and outscored 21-2), Yankees (lost 2 of 3 and needed two Yankee errors to walk off the last one), San Diego (lost 2 of 3), Toronto (won 3 of 4), Washington (split 1 of 2), Boston (split 2 of 4), Houston (split 2 of 4), White Sox (won 2 of 3 but lost last one 8-1), Tampa (lost 2 of 3), San Fran (lost 2 of 3), Detroit (lost 2 of 3). What is that, 15 - 20 in their last 35 home games?  And then they top it off by losing to the Royals 1 - 0 in the first game?  So fans are supposed to be excited and encouraged by that stretch of baseball?   You want people to show up to games, play like the Padres. Don't have your prized prospects go bust, don't have your stars fall off a cliff, and learn how to play fundamental baseball instead of obsessing about each swing's potential exit velocity.
