  1. anyone else on mlb.tv not getting the score line at the top of the screen?
  2. agreed. the camera angle is pretty good though...
  3. i just got one of the new 5950s, 7 1/8 which is the same size ive bought the last 5 years. theyre really not a whole lot different...looking forward to the no shrinking or fading though.
  4. Same here. its nowhere near as good as the demo and the mosaic is worse than that. im not seeing anywhere near tv quality.
  5. I think the differences between hats of the same size comes from the way they were stored before you bought them. If they are kept in a warm place with even moderate humidity they will shrink if left there long enough. That's just the nature of the beast with wool. I kept some of mine in a closet that always got warm on hot summer days -- shrunk them all. I am pretty sure they come out of New Era's factory true-to-size because they use a pretty exacting process in making those caps. Sorry if my response seems a bit overly detailed. I am something of a 5950 buff with 20+ in my collection at present. I hope the claims are correct that the new ones don't shrink. That's the only thing I never liked about the wool ones you could very well have a point about that. im not sure. the thing that led me to believe it was the way theyre made is i also have seen caps with the bill sewn on lopsided and some of the logos not on straight. youd think that with them being hand made you wouldnt run into these problems.
  6. i dont have one of the new 5950s yet but i got one of the new BP hats and i had to get one size smaller in that. if they have messed with the sizing on this years hat i hope they at least make it consistent. in previous years ive had problems with the same size hats fitting way different.
  7. we'll see. the biggest problem is the command. especially with the curve. the velocity will come...
  8. The lack of control worries me the most. Same here.
  9. I'm not overly worried yet about Prior YET. after all, he's WAY ahead of where hes been the last few years. I say give him some more action before really analyzing anything. The beauty is the cubs arent counting on him this year, hes just gravy. It wold be incredible if he could return to the dominant pitcher that could throw any of his pitches for strikes consistently.
  10. Ok, I'm seriously considering spending the money this year for one of these packages... so which one is everyone else getting? The Premium with the mosaic looks cool, but I'm kind of concerned if theyll be able to stream the TV quality picture without problems. Anyone have experiences, good or bad, with MLB.tv last year?
  11. heres some from picture day... http://editorial.gettyimages.com/search/Search.aspx?eventid=73311425&editorialProduct=2
