I agree..I think I've had enough..but I'm spoiled with the HD!

Yeah this is just pathetic. We are watching the announcers booth and related auction material 80% and the game 20%. I didn't even see Roberts get out, they were showing the wind blowing things around the stadium recorded earlier.

ARe you serious? Gulf Shores is under the Marlins territory? I would've thought for sure it would be the braves, or at worst the rays.

All of the above. For the FL teams, it's not because of Alabama, it's because our TV market is a hybrid of Mobile and Pensacola, and because of that we get stuck with FL rules...

And the FL TV guys are talking about nothing but their live-auction... it's terrible... they occasionally show some baseball...

The FL broadcast just missed the Roberts AB! unbelievable!

"Blah blah blah irrelevant factoid blah blah sidetrack discussion blah blah charity auction. Oh, by the way folks, I've just been told that there is a baseball game going on at the field we're all at. Perhaps we'll show you a little of that."

Yep..gave up, watching the O's feed on SD tv. Even in HD their broadcast is unwatchable.

I understand the whole territory thing, but if no station in your area thinks its worth it to pick the game up, you shouldn't be considered in the territory.

    • The Machado trade wasn't the mark of poor judgment.  We got a decent return for when we traded him (2018, with less than a year of control left).  The underlying issue was failure to recognize the timing of that team's window shutting.  2017 started off well enough, but May was punctuated by a 5-14 stretch in the last 19 games of the month (including a 7 game losing streak) and a losing June (that had a 6 game losing streak).  They then limped into the AS Break on a 3-6 July start (including another 5 game losing streak).  Went from a season best 22-10 on May 10, to 42-46 at the break. The pitching clearly couldn't keep up, and denial is a powerful thing.  We didn't do any selling or start a minor rebuild.  Whether that was a Duquette decision or an Angelos decision... who can say? I always look back at that period as having a silver lining though.  We had to crash and burn... to be built back to strength with our modern iteration of our team.  I'm not so sure that the team would have decided to take the same path if they had found additional ways of treading water for several seasons longer than they actually did... so I'm loathe to criticize the failures in the last seasons of the Duquette era.  Without them, we very well might not be where we are today. 
    • Even our bad lineups have a brutal top half of the order for opposing pitchers. 
    • Mullins had a good AB left on left last night that hopefully is a good sign of a turnaround. 10 pitches and fought off several fastballs that he has been swinging through. Ultimately just a groundout but I thought it was encouraging.    Liked the bunt single too. 
    • Well...the "A" team hasn't been scoring runs when he pitches anyway.  Might as well shake it up a bit.
    • And it's real, so real, so real, so real, so real, so real Can you dig it Whooo-oooh I can dig it, he can dig it She can dig it, we can dig it They can dig it, you can dig it Oh, let's dig it Can you dig it, baby I can dig it, he can dig it She can dig it, we can dig it They can dig it, you can dig it Oh, let's dig it Can you dig it, baby    
    • I was thinking he'll get until the AS break to show some signs of life, but it could happen by Father's Day. I'm not implying that they'll release him but that his role could decrease significantly.
