I really wish MLB would review their ridiculous black out rules.And the 2025 Baseball Season is Upon Us ...
I really wish they would DO AWAY with them.
I try to watch 3 of my out of market teams games ...
When they are playing a team from my local area, Detroit, Cleveland or Cincinnati ... Cincy is 3 hrs away, Cleveland is 2.5 hrs away, Detroit is 1 hr away.
I cannot watch Those games, even though I have purchased the package to watch my Out Of Market teams.
If I wanted to watch those game ... I would have to pay an addl. $45 each month.
$99 for the Indians and The Tigers and Reds EACH per year ... $99 yearly, $15 p/m
It's essentially me paying the RSN FEE .
Of course, I'll miss those series for my OOM teams, so I am missing at minimum 9 games
This makes the OOM price, actually pretty good at $149 for everyone (except those RSN local games)
I really can't believe they want $99 per team for a year.
In order to get the RSN games, those are on Fan Duel Sports Networks now, the old Bally Sports and various others prior to.

The 2025 Baseball Season is officially a few days old now ....
May the Spring be right around the corner and Winter be GONE !

Moved a few posts and stuck new thread, play ball!
Newly designed bats, and the MLB doesn't need to approve something like that ?????
Yankees are the ONLY ones using them, Hmmmmmm.
The Cubs were using them yesterday...and still managed to lose.
Which MLB players are using the new 'torpedo' bats? Yankees lead the way, but other stars have embraced unique bat shape
Expect to see torpedo bats in every MLB clubhouse before long.
Below is a list of MLB players known to be using torpedo bats this season:
Adley Rutschman, C, Baltimore Orioles
Jose Trevino, C, Cincinnati Reds
Dansby Swanson, SS, Chicago Cubs
Nico Hoerner, 2B, Chicago Cubs
Ryan Jeffers, C, Minnesota Twins
Francisco Lindor, SS, New York Mets
Cody Bellinger, OF, New York Yankees
Jazz Chisholm Jr., 2B, New York Yankees
Paul Goldschmidt, 1B, New York Yankees
Anthony Volpe, SS, New York Yankees
Austin Wells, C, New York Yankees
Junior Caminero, 3B, Tampa Bay Rays
Davis Schneider, OF, Toronto Blue Jays
See my updated post above. Looks like players from 8 different teams are using them.
No word as to Who is making them .... Is it a typical bat company, say Louisville or one of the other well known manufactures ?
Or is it some company trying to make a name for themselves ?
Are they approved by MLB ?
This is the first I've heard of them.
So, it sounds like a company decided to re invent the baseball bat, so that more wood was available in the sweet spot, this is just OK for who ever to pick one up at the local baseball shop ????
There must not be any regulations ...
Whats next ... re build thier own baseballs for the Home Team ?
Baseball glove that are Sticky, to help in those crucial situations ????
Bring back the Corked Bats .... your doing the same thing with allowing these redesigned bats.
I don't like this idea ....
Manford is probably All for it.
Fwiw, I prefer to see a good hard fought game, say 3-2 ....
I don't like the 10-8 games.
They could be taking the Pitcher out of the game if this is the norm.
WTH, lets just have the pitching machine throw the game.

to that list. Two home runs 7 rbi
's last night.
I'm sure that list is going to be growing daily.Add Ella Da LaCruz

Until they finally Ban it.
I can't believe they are letting 2 entirely different designs for bat to be in play ....
Aluminum bats next (for some players) ???
Ok, we'll keep it wood.
Right now it could be Ash and Pine from what were seeing at the moment ... or it could be just BAD pitching.
Just watched the bonkers Chicago Cubs vs. St. Louis Cardinals game on AppleTV+ Friday Night Baseball. The fireworks were visible in broad daylight as the Cubbies hit two solo home runs in each of the first two innings. The Cubbies hit a franchise-historic eight home runs!
And to end the game, the Cubs saved their Bullpen and had one of the infielders pitch the last three outs. I have never seen that done in Professional Baseball before. As I said, Bonkers!

I was a little annoyed with that. The guy couldn't throw a strike without the blind umpire behind the plate helping him out. If they would have hit a home run with 2 outs it would have made the score 11-7. Council got a little too cute for my liking.
I Understand that the NFL is in full swing now ... but
The MLB Playoffs are on thier way now ...
Anyone watching or paying attention ?
