BTW, I applaud these newspapers for doing this.  We can discuss whether we like (fill in the blank OC Register writer), but it is asinine to put sweat into a product and give it away for free.

Agree. I subscribe to the online version of three newspapers and have no problem paying to read the content that costs these publications a lot of money to research/cover, write, and publish.

Who is Jeff Sullivan and who cares what he thinks?

 

Some of Greg Maddux's best seasons was sporting a fastball in the high 80's. Weaver's no hitter last year, his average fastball for the night 89 MPH for the game.

 

I'll take a smart pitcher over a strong arm and nothing between the ears any day of the week. 

Ah...a Bobby Jenks reference!

I haven't noticed that to be the case. The only thing that seems to slow it down is my sons gaming.

Thanks, appreciate you taking time to answer. I use my AppleTV a lot, especially during baseball season watching MLBtv. I wonder if that would slow it down like gaming.

I am thinking of getting Directv Genie but I have a concern that it will cause all of the other devices I have conected to my home WiFi to slow down. Is this a legitimate concern?

I'm interested. I wouldn't mind keepers but I like the suggestion of only 3 per roster per season. Prefer standard Roto over H2H.

True, and both are quality individuals. However, they both still do what the vast majority of people only dream of, play professional baseball. They both have been on 40 man rosters, so they probably make the major league minimum, which is around 500 thousand. Minor league ball only goes for 5 in a half months, so they have the rest of the year off. 4 or 5 hundred thousand per year is far more than even the average high earning profession makes. They get to play a game for a living, so that disappointment will lessen over the years. They simply are not talented enough to stick at the major league level. That is the hard truth. While I can understand disappointment, life's hard. Being a career minor leaguer  at the AAA level is not a bad life, it is a pretty good one. Nothing to be ashamed of.

Also, both McPherson and Wood played in the Major Leagues for a significant amount of time. To date, Wood has had 751 MLB plate appearances and DMac has had 414. Only a small percentage of those that play professional baseball get to that point. I know a lot of players that have come through Salt Lake; Mike Eylward, Adam Pavkovich, Tom Gregorio to name three that would have given anything to play one game and get one AB in the Major Leagues.

Thinking about getting MLB TV

Can you stream on your PS3?

My son does and has not had a problem with it.

Have had At Bat for going on 4 years.... Can't live without it now. MLB At the Ballpark is a pluggin to At Bat. It lets you check in from whatever MLB Park you are at (you actually must be in the parks GPS vacinity) and it keeps track for you the score of the game you saw and your overall record for each team you have seen. Very cool.

Baseball apps domniate my phone. MLB at Bat, especially if you have a subscription to MLB.tv, is awesome! I will caution everyone the television feed of games is blacked out in local markets. If you live in So Cal, you won't be able to watch the Angels games. But there is no blackout on the radio broadcasts.

@SLBeesFan

I'm posting this on the mobile site. Very nice set up!

I have no problem with anything Greinke said. I never fault anyone for going for the most money and a lot of fans and players prefer NL version of the game over the AL.

Just curious... How old are you guys that are saying "show me the money".

56!

Agree....keep all Angels and MLB discussion in one forum.
