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

                    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.

                              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.

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

                                                  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.

                                                      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.

                                                          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.........................

                                                              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!!
