I always enjoy the anti-establishment posters…just not spammers. Dogg wasn’t ever my cup of tea. He’ll be back though. Spanky is the official Dogg sniffer

When baseball starts up, he'll be here.

now there is a name I haven't thought of for a long while....

 

why you gotta do that Jim?!?

 

Was Tercet the guy that basically dissed every minor league player except Vlad, and gave them nick names like 'Gurriel BABIP' and 'Teoscar the mirage' ?? Can't remember but that take looks really bad now that the second level prospects have developed into a good support crew for the stars.

Yep. ESPN+ is the way.

[saskjayfan]

That's him.

 

He liked to play poker and he splashed an F U picture or something like that with spelled with 100 dollar bills..lol. Wasn't he permanently banned? It's not like he didn't understand the game, and he did actually go to quite a few minor league baseball games. He was crazy arrogant though, but that can't be the reason he was banned off this board..lol.

It was actually "FU BTS" in $100 bills spread out on the sheets of his bed. I've had a security detail since that day.

I don't think he was banned.

 

The f***head probably get killed or incarcerated. He's extremely antisocial. I don't mean introverted, I mean he likely does not fit into society in an agreeable way.

I think professional gamblers are known to be described as such, no?

People have been banned for less

I see Tercet every so often on reddit in a watch trade/sale subreddit. He's still alive and still as anti-social as ever.

The only thing worse than not having baseball is having baseball and not being allowed to watch it. This is such a slap in the face to baseball fans that have already been s*** on. Hopefully the Blue Jays are ignored like usual.

Does this mean it won’t be on MLB.tv?

MLB, Apple Agree To Streaming Deal

By Steve Adams | March 8, 2022 at 1:38pm CDT

 

Major League Baseball and Apple announced Tuesday that they have agreed to a streaming deal that will see two Friday night games streamed exclusively on Apple TV+ each week, beginning with the 2022 season. “Friday Night Baseball” will feature live pregame and postgame shows and will be available in the U.S., Canada, Australia, Brazil, Japan, Mexico, Puerto Rico, South Korea and the United Kingdom. Apple TV+ will also offer a program called “MLB Big Inning” to U.S. viewers, which the press release describes as a “live show featuring highlights and look-ins airing every weeknight during the regular season.”

 

The new service will allow fans to watch “marquee” games each Friday which will be “free from local broadcast restrictions.” Fans who are frustrated by the blackout issues that have served as a persistent source of consternation for MLB.tv users will surely welcome an alternative — particularly those who are already subscribe to Apple TV+.

 

However, the Friday Night Baseball deal now removes two games per week from that same MLB.tv package, given that today’s press release from Apple emphasizes the exclusivity of those Friday night broadcasts. That’s sure to raise the ire of MLB.tv users who do not have an active Apple TV+ subscription, as they’ll now be required to sign up for an additional monthly service if they wish to catch those Friday night contests. Today’s press release indicates that “for a limited time,” Friday Night Baseball will be accessible without a subscription but offers no further detail.

 

Of course, it’s only natural to see Major League Baseball continue to push into the streaming space, as they’ve done in recent years with live-game broadcasts on YouTube and Facebook. Other such deals will surely follow, particularly given how prominent this model is becoming throughout all of professional sports. Amazon Prime began streaming Thursday Night Football games in recent years, for instance, while other services like Peacock, Hulu and Paramount+ have increasingly begun to offer exclusive live sports streams as part of their models. There’s considerable profit to be gained by expanding streaming partnerships in this fashion, even if it comes at the expense of MLB watering down its longstanding MLB.tv offerings.

 

“Apple is the ideal partner to bring ‘Friday Night Baseball’ to fans around the world,” MLB chief revenue officer Noah Garden said in a statement within today’s press release. “Following milestones like the launch of At Bat on day one of the App Store in 2008 to the integration of Apple technology in ballparks across the country, this robust new game package is the perfect next collaboration in our long history of offering quality and innovative content to our fans. With national availability and international reach, MLB on Apple TV+ offers an exciting new platform to fans that allows a wider audience to connect with the game.”
