[We Got The Whole 9]

If you have t-mobile or sprint, today's the day to sign up for the mlb.tv deal. you have to download the t-mobile tuesdays app to redeem it, but you can uninstall it after.

 

Anyone ever used this offer if you don’t have T-Mobile or Sprint? A friend of mine and his wife both have T Mobile and he offered to let me use his wife’s subscription since they don’t need two. Do you just set up an email/password to log in?

They seemingly don't lock down (which is a big surprise) on account sharing. I always let my brother use my account with no problem.

Cool. I wouldn’t think it would be an issue as far as account sharing goes since it would just be her setting it up and then me using it so there wouldn’t be two people streaming from the same account at one time.

What they do is connect an MLB.com account to the phone number redeeming. Since the deal is available on every line, I have a buddy who redeems his number for his own use, then uses his wife's number and a friend's MLB.com login to set the friend up for free. There's no validation that the MLB.com account matches the phone number as far as I know.

Mets-Nats postponed due to COVID issues. Almost made it to game 1 of the MLB season without a problem.

Hopefully organizations are using this as a talking point with their players. They can't force anyone to get vaccinated, but they can let them know that anyone who chooses not to get the vaccine is putting their team at risk.

These guys are largely just complete morons. They already tried incentivizing them with the being vaccinated/85% of a team thing with loosened restrictions in the clubhouse/travel/around the stadium, not being an auto sit/quarantine if you are vaccinated and around someone with it with contact tracing, more freedom on the road/allowed to see family more, etc. I hope these guys start losing pay if they continue this nonsense with the vaccine readily available to them.

Yea that's never gonna happen.

Their salaries are prorated, horsefeathers around enough they won’t be able to play the full 162 and lose money. Plus the ESPN broadcast just mentioned guys can be suspended without pay for behavior.

Can't believe there's no thread for Hank Aaron yet. I'd start one, but I'm not coming up with a good enough title to honor the man.

Nevermind. I'm a moron. Saw the article on the front page of MLB.com and assumed it just happened.

The entire series has now been postponed.

 

If only there was some way this could have been prevented...

I thought there was a broken pitchers thread but couldn't find it

Wonder if they will consider Wrigley since we’ve been trying to get one for years and aren’t currently on the calendar. Though I’m not sure I want it in a year where it may be like 50% attendance

Considering Daddy Ricketts probably has dumped millions into voter suppression efforts across the country I would say no

Right? Can the next step be ridding MLB of dirt bag owners?

Mike Trout is already 81 all time in WAR.

Unfortunately, there is no possible way to get that rich without being a dirtbag or have a dirtbag as an ancestor. Bezos can afford to give every employee of Amazon a $100,000 bonus and still be worth more than he was last year.

Cubs value went up 5%, average for all teams was about 3%. So much for the staggering effect of COVID.

*grumpy traditionalist rant*

 

UGH - looks like MLB is going to start mimicking the NBA and start having teams wear quirky uniforms with unrelated color schemes. I don't mind it once in awhile but its like every time I turn on an NBA game these days the teams are wearing different colors. I don't know why it bothers me so much but it does.

The article says that 7 other teams will be unveiling their city connect uniforms this year including the Cubs on June 12
