you can always watch any sports at p2p4u.net, but the video quality blows and it can be unreliable at times (especially if you're wanting to watch the Royals play the Indians or something or comprable quality).
-
I was wondering if they blackedout regional games. I live in Kansas City (and don't own a TV) and was hoping I could watch Royals games. Damn.
-
More like: ONLY for those of us who live outside their fav team's broadcast- gd blackout restrictions make it useless w/in viewing territory
-
MLB.tv is totally worth it -- especially for those of us who live outside their favorite team's broadcast zone.
-
It was actually back when that poll started that I began thinking I should really invest in MLB.tv this season to get a chance to listen to some of this announcers I've never had the chance to hear
-
FYI: Aroldis Away, Aroldat Away has used one of his free cuts on Aramis Ramirez.
-
... were in Brooklyn, but the Mets guys are just great. Also, I pity White Sox fans. Far and away the worst announcers in baseball. http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/index.php/broadcaster-rankings-tv-10-1/

I assume most of you already saw this, but I'm very happy to see Gary, Keith, and Ron get some credit for the awesome job they do announcing Mets games. Makes sense that Scully gets #1 just because he's been announcing Dodgers games since they (cont.)

I'll trade you Metta World Stanton for him.
-
Hey! Why am I paying $25 for some guy on my roster named Mike Stanton? I thought I owned Giancarlo Stanton.
-
Just a reminder to everyone, get your membership renewed by Friday!
-
... the waiver wire like we did last year.
-
It might take a little longer than 4 hours (maybe we should plan to draft until 4:30) but I think we'll be okay. Last year it took about 8, right? And we don't need to fill all rosters during the draft -- we can fill remaining roster spots using (cont.)
-
Just realized we have 211 (of 480) roster spots to fill. I'm going to plan on the auction going longer than scheduled.
-
There will probably be plenty of name confusion this year. How much is everyone willing to bid for Roberto Heredia and Juan Oviedo?
-
Or last year's Carlos Martinez (I bid on the wrong one after the STL minor leaguer changed his name right before the draft)
-
Chris Carpenter is this years Ryan Braun.
-
It was Bengie Molina, wasn't it? Now I'm worried I'll overbid for him, too.
-
Oliver Perez is waiting for your money.
-
I actually had a dream this weekend about overpaying for someone in our draft. That I'm thinking about it this much already does not bode well for the amount of work I'm going to get done over the next, oh, six months or so.
-
(his first year eligible, obviously)
-
That makes it even harder to believe that 28 out 251 Baseball Writers of America didn't cast a 1955 ballot for him to be inducted into the HOF
-
FYI: Sabermetric Toothed Tigers has used his two free drops on Jason Heyward and Domenic Brown. NL East OF bonanza!!!
-
Did you guys know that in 1941 Joe DiMaggio struck out 13 times in 621 PAs? He also had 84 extra-base hits. In any given at-bat, he was just as likely to hit a triple as he was to strike out. Fucking crazy.
-
Ha ha ha! "It?s real simple: If you throw left-handed, you are on Field 4. If you don?t know if you throw left-handed, come see me.? God, I love baseball.

Finally! Day 1 in the bag! http://marinersblog.mlblogs.com/2012/02/12/mariners-spring-training-update/

Sandy Alderson is the best. Even if the Mets suck, he'll provide lots of entertainment. http://www.amazinavenue.com/2012/2/10/2789884/sandy-alderson-is-incredible-a-social-media-expert
-
I can't see it either, maybe they did change it. As commissioner I can drop players from any roster without penalty, so let's just stick with the two free drops before the season starts rule. Email me if you want to drop someone and I can make it happen.
-
(also, I attempted to cut a few guys earlier and it was all like "NOT PERMITTED, A-HOLE")
-
Dave, I can't find the part in the rules where it says we get two freebie cuts... I do recall seeing it at some point, though- maybe they've dropped that allowance?
-
Obviously, we're all just better at evaluating cost/benefit. That being said, it was me that paid $42 for Hanley's services last year :/
-
(cont.) of cash in the draft.
-
last year most of the teams were near the $400 limit, so I don't think our prices are too low overall. In those leagues with Hanley Ramirez going for $65, there were probably some ridiculously cheap contracts that balanced it out once people ran out
-
(says the guy with 25 roster spots to fill)
-
I think it's part over-valuing prospects, part other leagues being ridiculous. For the most part I think our prices are right where they should be.
-
any thoughts on why our top stars aren't as crazily priced as some other leagues ($65 hanley in some)? are we just all overvaluing prospects?
-
Come oooooonnn spring training! I want to get this started!
-
All the teams are legal, so I think we're in good shape! But people still have until midnight. Also, there will probably be a few other drops since everyone gets two freebies between the deadline and the draft date.
-
Everyone got their cuts in?

The great fielding combo of Fielder at 1B, Cabrera at 3B? Good-bye Mr.Porcello.
-
Anyone looking for 3B: I have Aram reasonably priced at $18 and, for a better package, Moustakas at $16
-
That is correct. At least I'm 99% sure that's correct. But if I'm wrong, I'll be in the same boat as you! (And worst comes to worst I can always manually adjust the rosters)

We just need to have them on the roster January 31st?

Just to clarify (again?), there's no special 'keep' toggle button we need to hit to make a player a keeper, right?
