With Ohtani leaving and Trout declining, Im not sure how this team doesn't go through a real rebuild...

Blasphemy! 

I've been told it's good for the game. 

lol @ Peacock

I don't mind the Apple games because they're free to watch, fuck this Peacock deal though.  It's especially annoying because Peacock actually has a free subscription option with a ton of ads, but the games aren't included in that

Ohtani's leaving? Must of missed that.

I don't think Fletcher is a starting caliber player anymore

I think you have to give him every chance to get back to his old self…

[Stradling]

You guys are going to lose your shit when both football and baseball are on streaming platforms. Goodell already said it’s most likely coming.

Yep. I’m as critical as anyone as it relates to Fletcher but you’ve got to give him the chance to regain his old form.

How many different ones do you think they’ll do.  I’m good with the several I already pay for.  Not signing up for more !

Maybe you don't understand the argument because you never listen. It's not the streaming format anyone is objecting to. It's paying for the service to watch your team and then MLB selling a share of those to other services that you have to subscribe to in order to get what you already paid for. 

Try and let that sink in instead of regurgitating the same stupid argument thinking you are being smart.

Hey dick, I know the argument. Read the terms of what they paid for.  Thanks.

There will be at bats for him coming off the bench.I'd rather see what Rengifo and Stefanic can do. Fletcher has lost the benefit of the doubt, if they want to give him every day at bats it should be in AAA.

I have no idea. I think football will go with one for Sunday ticket.

Its very fucking annoying having to pick up and watch games on Apple TV and Peacock. I already have to pay for MLB.TV to watch the Mariners on the East Coast.

I've had it with MLB's BS... I just follow the Lou method for watching games these days...

Neither one of those is true. Stay positive.

Ha! We wish. The only times I've been wrong about this team over the past decade+ has been when I was optimistic. Either way Trout is clearly taking a step back (he's still good though) and if we keep Ohtani he is going to be really expensive.

[mmc]

Anyone know if the offense has tried doing these before the games?

He had a bad final two months last year and he’s been hurt this year….way too quick to turn him in to a utility guy or send him back to AAA….

[Angel Oracle]

Seems like the starters sail along and then hit immediate trouble second time through the order more than on average in MLB?

A symptom of the young age of a lot of the starters?

[bloodbrother]

Orioles are fun

[mmc]

Lol

[UndertheHalo]

[UndertheHalo]

Haha 

[CaliAngel]

What is the timeline for Fletcher? I feel like I haven't heard much about him around here, is he going to be making an appearance before the end of the season?

I don't even remember how he got hurt again.

[UndertheHalo]

We might be following something special here guys.  This may actually end up being the low point of the season.
