Chacin was picked up by the SOX Saturday after being released by the Brewers. He hasn't pitched in over a month.

 

This will be the game we win, then.

He's an actual starter who has worn a few different uniforms. With a 5.79 ERA, he and Porcello can compare notes.

 

I remember earlier in the season a lot of people thought Porcello was struggling because he looked to be short-arming his pitches. Is that still the case, or is it just general suckiness?

So for all the "MLB is run competently" and "they got this" fans it might be worth remembering that they have had no choice but to sell off some decision making authority about when games ESPN is televising will be played. This is ESPN which has become one of the most head up its ass networks of any kind not just sports networks.

 

So what are they doing for the Sunday game of this 4 game series? They are game time 8:10PM head up against Pats v Steelers. Are they completely and totally out of there minds?

 

If MLB gets lucky nobody but nobody will tune in to Sox v Yankmees on Sunday night. I will be tuning in. But i don't make a market. Nobody like me makes a market. Nobody that posts in this forum or baseball forums cumulatively makes a market. We don't make a market. If they do tune in, they will be treated to a meaningless baseball game between the team with the slowest pace of play in all Baseball, both hitting and pitching, US, versus a team that in combination with us regularly produce the slowest, longest games on the planet.

 

If fans switch back and forth they will likely see at least half a quarter of the football game while the Sox and Yankmees try to muddle through an inning. Given that its Sox Yankmees and Cora now has 21 pitchers to play with fans will likely see the finish of Pats/Steelers while Sox/Yankmees might just be coming out of the bottom of the 6th inning......MAYBE, if they are lucky. Fans switching back and forth will likely find themselves in situations where they feel compelled to switch back to the Pats game having not seen a single thing happen for the period while they had the Sox game on.

 

Bigger disaster for MLB than switching back and forth...split screen...I don't even want to think about the comic relief that will derive from split screen of these two contests.

 

What the f*** is wrong with these people? Please folks, tell me more about how MLB has got this under control. How they know what they are doing...they know where they are going. They don't have anything under control. If their intention is to drive off the edge of a cliff they know where they are going. Maybe they can wipe their own asses.....MAYBE!!!!!

 

This is going to be a ratings massacre of epic proportions and in fact MLB will likely be lucky if it is because switching back and forth between these two contests will actually be worse for MLB than if fans simply do not watch the baseball game AT ALL!

Just crap. He usually works out whatever is wrong by the 3rd inning but by then it’s too late.

 

Big win for your packers last night. Wasn’t the best I’ve ever seen rodgers and the offense but it was a win lol.

Good luck in the series, guys. I'd like to meet the Sox again in the WS but realistically that ain't gonna happen (Dodgers) FYI the Brewers are in a similar boat vs. the Cubs this weekend: 3 game series, sweep and back in the WC race.

 

Now go kick some Yankee ass!
