My MLB sub is on auto-renew and has been for several years because I trusted those greedy pieces of shit until now, so this season wouldn’t have made a difference anyway.
Same, except I got for the Reds. Baltimore/DC are the blackout games here. Makes perfect sense.

About as much sense as the Reds being blacked out in Knoxville but not the Braves.
 
Some would call it the Luka effect.

Anyway, the damn Cubs man! Men on 1/3 with 1 out and PCA up to bat, and Craig Counsel calls a sac bunt which ends up only moving the guy from 1B to 2B. Next batter is out so still losing 7-8.

When things are bad that’s the crap you do.

The June Swoon appears to have come a little later in the month than usual. Why in the world he had PCA bunt there was a head scratcher. Swanson is hitting .151 with RISP. Of course I had to listen the game with the Audacy app because STL games are blacked out in western Ky,

One of you dorks needs to make a simple, step-by-step YT video explaining to 40-something year old crackers who just want to watch all the Kentucky and Reds games on a consistent and predictable platform.

Every time someone is like "Ok gramps, I just hit the GheyW@d app button on the firestick device I bought that is probably illegal, pull up the Bulgarian mirror feed using Tor, and profit", I want to punch Cricket in the taint.

To be clear -- I always want to punch Cricket in the taint, but especially so then.

(The ESPN App seems to have largely fixed this for UK basketball, I will say.)

* If you're bored in the summer and don't want to search the dark web to figure out how to watch a Reds game, you could check out the Christo Files on YouTube. Dude claims to be a journalist who exposes Russian spies and assassins using open source data readily available to everyone.

Christo shows everyone his methods and takes great delight in exposing Putin's spies and thugs.

Great, great viewing -- especially when Christo goes off on idiotic Russian behavior like issuing all of their spies sequentially numbered passports. Thus all anyone had to do for multiple years to determine if someone was a Russian spy was to look at their passport and see if the ID number was in the espionage traunch.

Dude even caught a female Russian spy by catfishing her on Tinder.



* We've got at least three lefties on this team -- Lowe, Jasper, and Dioubate. I wonder if that was intentional on Pope's part.

@Strokin_Bandit : is there some established way that coaches try to take advantage of lefties in the gameplan? How big an advantage (or disadvantage) could that be?
 
I have had "cable" my entire adult life and have never used or recommended illegal means or VPNs for primary TV consumption. I was routinely mocked for suggesting "cutting the cord" by streaming cable when DirecTV Steam was $35 a month. Now basically everyone has some type of streaming cable except people over 60 or Richie.

Recently cut out YoutubeTV and Fubo in favor of individual streaming apps, like FanDuel, since the only live TV we watch is sports. I got real pissed after signing up for ESPN+ through Disney+, only to realize that it was only for programming that was on ESPN+, not ESPN, ESPN2, SECN, etc.

I think they're supposed to fix this and have a full ESPN, Disney, Hulu bundle coming out this fall.
 
Caglianone is 22 and is going to go thru growing pains just like Holliday did/is but at the end of the day in this current era, you need bats, something the Reds have lacked for years. If Caglianone develops over the next 3-5 years as KC hopes, then he will provide more to their team than Burns ever will for Cincy in the same time frame.
Reminder... Also

- Yeah there’s a D specifically for lefties- FORCE’M RIGHT!

- WTF has happened to ESPN’s NBA Draft coverage? Used to be low key favorite sports night. Now I’m wishing I could mute it and have a Bill Simmons podcast on.

- Got some work freebies last night lower deck down 1B line to watch the Reds take down the Yanks. Definitely a different vibe watching NY play. Awesome atmosphere despite the heat.

- That Ohio State doc on HBO Max was a tad rough- groan men choking up about getting molested by the team doctor.

- Man - all the young bros out there are either rocking mullets or bowl cuts. Like its 1989 up in here.

- Few things I love more than a good baseball movie montage.

- Nowadays baseball stats marcus welby greek to this guy, but I am still a dangerous man when it comes to the scoreboard stumper.
 
~ TNTs NHL and NBA coverage decimates ESPN. Whoever gave Kendrick Perkins a microphone deserves the pear of anguish.

~ Real IDs and the soft requirement to have them for airport entry are some bullshit. Spent four hours standing in 90+ heat/humidity today to get a star on my license by providing the equivalent of one extra document from a normal driver's license and only one doc less than a passport. Who asked for this?

~ Summer is humming along way too fast. Atlanta last weekend for anniversary, checked off a bucket list band in concert from down under. Hawaii in three weeks. Kids growing like weeds. Wild times.

~ I'm about a decade late on the Nick Mullen train but that guy slays me. I get he's kind of edgy and all over the place but when a bit does actually settle, it's great stuff.

~ New induction range arrives tomorrow with its litany of bells and whistles. New shit makes me nervous with how many things can break these days, but QOL is QOL.

The watchability of the NBA draft died with David Stern as far as I'm concerned.

What ABC/ESPN did to the Finals and Draft is a travesty. Their choice in commentators were dreadful. Burke and Jefferson brought mild analysis and no juice. The ABC draft presentation is dull and devoid of any character. They even chose “bland modern kitchen” as their color scheme.

I just turned on SportsCenter and it's unbelievable how forgettable their anchors are. It's borderline weekend local news quality.
