lakerboy · 07-25-20, 11:16 AM

Much better with no fans. I don't want to see fans in a stadium ever again.

carolinakid · 07-25-20, 11:16 AM

no idea i have not 1sec of any games yet, too busy with all the other action........but i dont see how a person can watch a baseball game with no action going, it like watching paint dry.

731 - col/tex
night games will be posted later. and this is every day.

carolinakid · 07-25-20, 11:31 AM

you can watch any game online for free, why pay to watch sports today...

Had to already adjust betting patterns. I think this will be a very chalky baseball year. Favs will win at a much larger percentage than usual because they won’t have throw away games that they do in a 162 game season. Last night I played sdiego/oak parlay which was 1000 paying 1748. Not a great payback but beats laying 150 and 145. I think I’m gonna do a lot of those types of plays this year which I wouldn’t normally do.

Also I think you can see the pitchers are well ahead of the hitters....at least the starters. Under first five innings across the board could be a solid winning strategy for this first week or two before hitters settle in.

carolinakid · 07-25-20, 11:35 AM

check your system speed here, do it 3 times to get your average https://www.speedtest.net/

TheMetsSuck · 07-25-20, 11:36 AM

Usually the mlb package was always free the first couple weeks to suck you in. I wonder how they are doing it for this shortened season.

The ball is put in play in baseball almost the exact same time the ball is put in play in football.

I think i noticed last night after an out the ball goes right back to the pitcher....Not around the horn anymore...

carolinakid · 07-25-20, 11:53 AM

The first 3 days are free. This season is $59.99. If you have Tmobile as your phone carrier they give you the season for free.

We wait all these months, cry about no sports, we are in a 60 game schedule, and we are complaining already after 1 1/2 days.

Mac4Lyfe · 07-25-20, 11:56 AM

MLB tv is free for tMobile and Sprint customers. Stream all the games in HD.

seaborneq · 07-25-20, 12:05 PM

MLB needs a timer. Before each games put in an ending time. 2 hours, 2 hours 30 minutes or 3 hours. Stop the game and declare a winner unless its a tie after time is up. Even yankees-sox is not watchable over 3 hours. Jays/Rays is intolerable after 2 hours. This would also add strategy to the end of games. 10 0r 20 minute postgame afterwards and on to something else. Problem solved.

They are experimenting with one especially in the minor leagues in the Atlantic League.

Its the only way to go. Most real sports have some form of a time measurement. Innings just don't cut it anymore. The rush of a clock is deeply needed. Last 2 minutes of a close basketball or football game gets me sitting at the edge of my seat. The last out of a baseball game is the only thing people look forward towards. Not good.

And yet I've timed it. Seen the last two minutes of NFL take close to 1/2 hour. Penalties, commercials, time outs, team turnovers blah, blah, blah.

and then OT??? WTF.........................

INVEGA MAN · 07-25-20, 12:46 PM

Carolina, I dont have the money you do but im not interesting in streaming. when you stream, can you watch 8 games at the same time. I do. If I cant afford to spend $90 on mlb package, then its time to quit betting. im not interested in saving $90. Not worth it. I like turning my tv to channel 720 and sit back and watch all the games I bet at the same time. I also get he NFL package. DONT WANT NO BOXES AND NO STREAMIG. JUST TURN ON TV AD WATCH MY GAMES!!

carolinakid · 07-25-20, 12:49 PM

np i dont watch any game, but i do watch the live lines in game to see where there is a good bet, when i working the game, i dont have the time to watch, i have like 4 computers here with so many live lines going i dont have time anyway.....but i dont play for action to watch, i play to make money......

INVEGA MAN · 07-25-20, 01:03 PM

IM THE OPPOSITE. I need action. I rather flip a coin then do all that studying and i flipped a coin may times. I do it for entertainment. God luck and STUDY LONG AND HARD.

Went to a Portland Seadogs game last summer.
1) $11 ticket, we walk in. Actually found 2 on the aisle, 3rd base side, first row above the lower boxes. Perfect seats.
2) GOOD beer. 16 oz. $8
3) They had a timer on EVERYTHING. pitchers, batters, between innings. Bliss. Absolute bliss.

MLB are a bunch of old farts. They have to adapt.
