I have 4 Roku TCLs. I would have to just quit YTTV. Said I would quit after the price hike to 65 (didn’t) and after they lost FSNs (didn’t) but this would be the final strike

Don’t worry just yet. I too have been using a family member account. My app updated. I can’t even get to the login page without it timing out. It’s a mess so far. -
Last night and today are two of the worst lineups I have ever seen in Brewers history. And I vividly remember the early 2000s.

For some reason I was sitting drinking my coffee this morning reminiscing about this game. I sat behind the plate, a bit toward the Away team dugout, probably about 15 rows back. I maintain that as it stands now, healthy prime Ben Sheets was the best pitcher the Brewers ever had and he was in peak form on this day. He looked great in the first inning, going 1-2-3. Then in the second, a lead off HR to Jeff Kent. That probably took the luster of the rest of the game. The no hitter is gone, so is the shutout. But he then retires 22 in a row before giving up a one out double to Brady Clark in the 9th. Brewers win 7-1. Sheets complete game in 104 pitches. Game time 2 hours 11 minutes. https://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/MIL/MIL200704020.shtml

While I’m not giving up on Urias, yet, I don’t know that anyone would call Davies for Lauer a wash. Davies doesn’t need to set the world on fire to be much more valuable than Lauer has shown to be thus far.
-
The how did they not properly value him was a rhetorical question...as in how the hell could they have misjudged the trade this badly.
-
How the hell did the Brewers not properly value Grisham? He was a top, first round draft pick that exploded in AAA and then played really well in his first call up to the Bigs? I was really surprised and disappointed when they traded him.

I will keep my reply short. My boys play multiple sports. Be prepared to become disillusioned by youth sports. It isn’t what it was in the 80s and 90s when I grew up. All of those dads or moms who were coaches and really involved in your little league are no longer involved, because their passion now translates as driving their kid 45 minutes each way for practice to play on some sort of select (I.e. more expensive to play) team. Leaves a huge void in local team community sports. Many leagues have fallen apart. Despite all of that, and my boys being very talented (talented as in they will peak as very good varsity high school players and that’s it) I have tried to stick it out and remain local...as I grew up that way and I don’t want my kids to spend their youth traveling all over the Midwest.

Can we get excited about Burnes and Woodruff yet?
-
Why do people dislike him so much? I’m a big badger fan, and I think he is a decent rotation player - not a star or anything, but he makes the team overall better.
-
I am not sure those are lies. I tend to agree with him. Bitcoin will never be used for anything but a pretend currency and form of trading. Folks only buy it because it goes up. Nobody is buying it to spend it on groceries. They may someday sell their bitcoin , for USD and buy something. But nobody is ever going to spend it.

I was listening on SiriusXM yesterday to the Cardinals feed. The cardinals radio announcer - it was probably Mike Shannon? - sounded horrible. Like he was slurring his speech and just not really with it. Almost what a drunk person would sound like. I understand he is 81 and he almost died from COVID in the off-season. Did he sound this way before Covid? I could only stand to listen to a half inning before I went back to AM radio Brewers feed (even though my reception was terrible).
-
I am no fan of Arcia’s. But I’m not sure Urias is any better.
-
Has Stearns ever done an interview where talks about why they traded for Luis Urias? He somehow has looked worse than Arcia in his tenure with the Brewers.
-
Two of the worst offenses in Major League Baseball. Perhaps the likes of which have never been seen before.
-
The swing on that 3-2 pitch from Yelich was bad. It wasn’t a good pitch to hit, it wasn’t that close to being a strike, and the swing itself looked like he was only 3/4 committed to it.
-
Whenever we acquire a big guy who can supposedly bring the gas, but has trouble with control, I am reminded of the Jeff Juden era. That is not a pleasant memory.
-
Here is something that is unfortunate. Baseball has not been fun to watch this year. It has almost seemed like a punishment - having to sit through the game. So many exciting players and reasons to watch baseball in general, but there is absolutely nothing exciting about this offense. All they do is strikeout and roll over. Im generally a "wait until Memorial Day" type of guy. but following up on what we saw last year...this is very discouraging.

A word on screen shots of bar codes and QR codes. A good idea for sure, however, I went to a Nashville Predators game this past week and they were clear that screen shots would NOT get you in, and when the scanned my phone, the bar code on my e-tickets on my phone appeared to have a moving line going back and forth across the bar code so be aware that things could change in the future.
-
This is unwatchable baseball. We could select 14 new, random hitters from the MLB and we would still strikeout 15 times a game. It’s completely boring baseball.
-
Just wanted to drop in and say I ran into Braun while out on a hike in Malibu (I’m just on a short vacation). We did not talk about his plans on playing this season. Being a Brewer fan, I suspect he doesn’t get recognized too often out here.

You can still watch through the Fox Sports Go App on Roku. But yes, charter spectrum is not available for download any longer through Roku, yet if you already have it downloaded it still works. -
I always liked Travis Shaw and I was confused as to how he fell of the so hard so quickly. If he even pulls an OPS+ of 95-100 while providing some pop and defense as a LH hitter at 1b and 3b he could be very valuable

Re: YTTV - my only Gripe is after I switched they kept adding channels, thereby raising the price. It was $40 when I started. I wish they never added any channels. Every person who watches TV has 2-4 channels that they MUST have, and they are all different. I suppose companies like YTTV are trying to get more subscribers by adding those channels. But that just makes them cable. Find your niche and stay there. 20 popular channels with local sports and news? Perfect. $45 bucks a month? Fine. I don’t need discovery and TLC, if I did I’d have cable.
