tokamak is a Ranger fan, it doesn’t affect him at all. 

I don't understand the point you're trying to make. Putting the Rangers on Victory last season was a big improvement over what came before, but I still get annoyed when I go to watch them and find out that they're on Apple or whatever. It looks to me like MLB wants to make that situation worse. I don't want to carry an ESPN subscription just so I can watch the Rangers on Wednesday night once a month.

Put every game, every team on MLB.tv with no blackout nonsense. Charge me $150/yr to watch one team, or $200/yr to watch everyone. Put Ohtani on Sunday night over-the-air for casuals. That's it, that should be the whole TV package. But some consultant told them that they're not delivering maximum shareholder value or what the fuck ever by doing that. So instead we have live MLB content on 6 different platforms by my count, not including every team's individual RSN situation (which are all over the place).

Padres great, and  Cy Young winner Randy Jones has passed.  Beloved by all in San Diego.  Great guy. 

 

I love watching the Padres booth guys almost as much as my own. It’s like they start drinking first pitch, and by the 5th/6th things get really entertaining. (They’re not, but it’s all in good fun.)

OK I actually read the article. It says Sunday night moves to "NBCUniversal", which to me implies Peacock. If it's broadcast NBC, why wouldn't they just say "NBC"?

Sunday night baseball will be on NBC (and Peacock and their NBC Sports channel) EXCEPT when NBA or NFL have existing rights/agreements…. Which are back half of April until end of NBA regular season in May. And then the last three weeks of September when NFL starts.

In those cases, Sunday night baseball will be on Peacock and NBC Sports Network

Yeah. This definitely makes things a lot clunkier….

even for just Sunday night baseball alone as referenced above

He literally threw about as hard as I did.
