I guess trying to be something he no longer was good at.

Where was that Blanton 3 years ago?

Further proof that relief pitching is a wild card.

A guy can go from being Esteban Yan to being Kenley Jansen in a year.

[Blarg]

Or from Joe Blanton failed starter to Joe Blanton quality reliever. Kind of like Ekersley.

i liked the novelty of the hill. it was a throwback to crosley field in cincy. it added a different feature that was fun visually. 

i also appreciate that as a practical matter it could be a problem for fielders.

[Lou]

it was the ghey

That hill and pole was a danger to every player that worked the outfield. It was asinine to put that in and way too late taking it out. 

I'm not sure that the hill is any less safe than the wall...

[AngelsLakersFan]

Also, I don't really care that they are taking out the hill, I'm more upset that they are moving their fences in so that their shitty fly ball / strikeout hitters can score a few more homeruns.

Put the game in the hands of your best players.

Roberts going for it all in that series and now they'll need the other guys to help pick those guys up after their gutsy performances.

 

I like the Cubs in 5. Jays in 6.

Too much Dodgers love in this thread.

I hope they get swept and don't score a single run.

I'm somewhere between this and the exact opposite.

Bauer pushed back to game 3 because..

I don't see them getting past Chicago..

and with that said I may have punched the Dodgers ticket to Toronto/Cleveland for Game 1.

[Vegas Halo Fan]

My string of perfect playoff picks ended last night.

Go Cubs.

Did he also get dehydrated?

Kershaw just confirmed he will be starting Game 2 for the Dodgers.

Lester - Maeda

Hendricks - Kershaw

Arrieta - Urias/Hill?

Lackey - Hill/Urias?

Cubs have a major edge in pitching. If they hit they should put the Dogs to rest in 5.

Cle-Tor is tougher to pick. I'll be rooting for America, but it could go 7.

[Troll Daddy]

Dodgers will sweep the Cubs

 

sorry

What was the question?

Does Harold Reynolds annoy anyone else with his commentary?

[Jay]

How can you watch tonights game on TBS if you don't have Cable TV?

I don't really mind Reynolds. I like the guy and I like his passion.. BUT he needs to cut it back by about 50-75%. 

[eligrba4ever]

Pretty heavy odds are favoring a "Great Lakes Series." Malibu beach may yet break through, but the main question appears to be: Will it be Lake Michigan vs. Lake Erie or Lake Michigan vs.Lake Ontario?

Your question sparked my curiosity. If you click on the usual MLBTV link, you get a postseason paywall. They want another $16 for postseason games in the US and Canada. I have cable.

Thanks.

I have DirecTV. But I am in my office and I wanted to watch on my Roku. I see that there is no TBS app for Roku but the Amazon Fire TV has a TBS app. You still need a cable provider to use this app but it is working.

I think to watch on your computer you also need to have a cable provider. So it's still a valid question, how can you watch without cable?

I'm guessing you know of a way but I really don't need to know.

Thanks again.

Did you ever go to the TBS website?  I'm guessing no.

Without cable, you would need to watch a stream of it.  A simple google search would tell you.
