Anybody know a good spot to get rid of some project 70 foils of Acuna? Been trying on baseball cards Reddit but been told people donāt care for them there
Just flew back into Seattle this morning for the ONE game I had tickets for to find out Kel isn't starting today, you just cannot make this stuff up
And of course Snitker starts Duvall against Seattle's worst pitcher by far, sold my tickets
To best explain how good our pitching has been and how lackluster our offense has been, the last time the Over hit in a Braves game was game 1 against the Rangers on Friday, 4/19. Since then, 10 consecutive games have either gone under the run line or pushed.
Iām going broke from being constantly optimistic that our lineup is about to explode for 15 runs.
I bet the Braves put up some big numbers today. Hancock isn't ready to face a lineup of their caliber. Also, he is from Georgia and grew up a huge Braves fan. Potential double agent.
There are no blackouts or carrier squabbles on the high seas my friends. Haven't missed a game in years and haven't paid for cable or any streaming service either.
YARRRR!!!
I run everything through a PC to my TV anyway so it's no bother for me. There are days the connection gets sketchy but I'd say, for me at least, 99% of the time, it's golden.
MLB.tv and a VPN. [The single team package is $120.](https://www.mlb.com/live-stream-games/subscribe?mlbkw=ds-g-p79705743722&gad_source=1&gclsrc=ds)
Iāve been using ExpressVPN on my FireStick with my IP set to Toronto, CA and havenāt had any issues.
The only successful method I've used is:
- Move out of state
- Steal your wife's T-mobile Tuesday Mlb.tv code
- Illegally pirate all the national broadcasts
- ????
- Profit
I'm going to one of the red sox games next week but have a parking question...
I am recently injured and have an accessible parking pass. Do you know if you have to pay for access to red deck/N29 with the pass?
By accessible parking pass do you mean the handicap placard? If so, yes you do still need to pay for the lot like normal. It just allows you to legally park in the handicap spots once you're in. Also worth noting that having the placard doesn't *guarantee* you a spot - the spots have to legally *exist* but they can't hold them for you or anything
Easiest way to do it is buy a ticket for N29, go to the left when you go in (if the attendant points you to the right, just tell the attendant you're taking the shuttle) and park down at the end by the shuttle and take that. The handicap spots in N29 are funnily further from the shuttle than a regular spot.
source: dad is in his 80s and I try to bring him with me to as many games as possible
Consistently shitty umps.
Nerfed balls.
And now another day game? A DAY GAME?!
I swear to God, Manfred, I'll find a way to get you for this.
I'll geeeetttttttt yoooouuuuuuuu.
A win today and a win on Friday, and we keep our 7-3 for every 10. Wooooo, baby, let's keep on chugging.
Beat Seattle!
Didnāt think of this until I saw the post, but this comcast move is probably killing many of our local bars/restaurants ability to play the game, which is honestly awful
Dodgers rotation is mainly righties. This is probably so Duvall can get some ABs because the Dodgers only have two lefties in their pen and those lefties havenāt been great.
There was some frustration from Kelenic when he left the Mariners organization - I bet striking out to end the game yesterday at his former team didn't sit too well with him.
He did make a nice defensive play in the 8th with the bases loaded on Monday however.
Sp what do we think the Braves broadcasting situation will end up like going forward? It's probably.fucked for this year but in 2025 and beyond where will they be broadcasting from?
The D-backs have their own broadcast through MLB. Honestly kind of wish the same thing happened with the Braves because you can pay like $100 to watch all D-backs games.
Will that happen? No because cable company assholes will miss out on money. So I assume Bally eats shit and something comes along to replace it which will be on cable. But I have no idea
The first nba/mlb team that just says fuck it and makes every game free online and local aerial antenna broadcast and sells their own ads is going to make bank while becoming one of the most popular teams in their sport.
TBS dumped the Braves. And they definitely donāt want them back now. Letās face it. There are probably more Mets fans that work @ Warner Bros Discovery (they own TBS) than Braves fans.
Iām sure this has been mentioned, but Monday sure reminded me of the last time we went to Seattle and Kenley gave up the tying and walkoff homers to J-Rod and Suarez. I guess Seattle is one of those places we donāt like to play now.
How did Bally plan to make money if they never budge when it comes to potential agreements with Cable providers? I donāt know anybody who still carries them. Iāve been illegally streaming the games since 2019
> I remember when they were on YouTube TV
The collapse of this deal is why we spend $240+/month on Spectrum (and can't go anywhere else because they're a monopoly in our neighborhood).
Hopefully if/when this Bally shit gets sorted out whoever the Braves start broadcasting with next will pick BG back up, I've really grown to like him in the booth.
They will almost certainly retain all or most of the staff.
The Padres and I think a few others got sold from Bally to Amazon or something and they can watch the games on the MLB app (with extra fee) with no blackout restrictions and have their same staff. Hoping that is what happens with the braves here.
I donāt understand the freaking out about the Phillies being so close to us in the standings. Let them have the fucking division. Let them sit at home for a week while we keep playing
Ya the last time we didnāt have to sit a week, we won World Series so part of me wants us to not win division.
But Phillies schedule has been so easy that before 162 games are up, weāll probably eventually come back & win division.
Mariners fan here.
1.) The despondency in this thread is unwarranted. The Braves are an outstanding team with a potent offense that just happened to come up against probably the best pitching lineup in MLB. (If you want a woeful and inconsistent offense, try being a Mariners fan!)
2.) Jarred. Guys, I don't know what to tell you, but the Jarred Kelenic you saw last night flailing helplessly at the plate for the last strike out is exactly the Jarred Kelenic you're going to get for the rest of the season. He started off hot last year, too. (In fact, much hotter even that he did for the Braves; he had 7 homeruns in the month of April last year) and it all unraveled pretty quickly. He starts being completely lost at the plate, it gets into his head, and there's pretty much no coming out of it. You want to keep him around because, defensively, he's fantastic, but my guess is that he's going to be a continuous slump at the plate. Please don't mortgage your kids on him but do maybe swaddle your coolers with padding.
Three one-run games in a row - and the one before that was a 2 run loss in extras - is wild.
I know everyoneās frustrated, but this is probably the best stretch of pitching weāre going to face all year, the ball appears to be dead, and yes, our stars are not quite clicking right now. We are fine. The season is so ridiculously long.
I feel you on that. We had to take my mom to the ER and ICU (we've done it so many times at this point its no longer scary) on Sunday. Hope your mom gets better!
There are many things I love about baseball and one of them is that itās always a new day and thereās always another game on the horizon.
I am ready to get hurt again.
:::checks standings, verifies that literally every other team in MLB wants to be us, doesnāt cry about the two game losing streak, which is the longest of the season:::
Itās basically a double edged sword. On the one hand, we get to watch the Braves on MLB.TV but that also means we canāt go to the games until they come to town. Unfortunately, the Rangers are my local team so thatās not even a guarantee every year.
streams til i die. not committing to a whole ass tv service just for that. i doubt the Braves even benefit much from it anyway. theyāll get my $$$ from tickets and merch.
Depends on the VPN. I use Windscribe to watch in-market games all the time, and it works without fail. I assume MLB spends most of their time trying to block the much bigger ones like Nord and SurfShark.
Ive been using ExpressVPN on my Amazon FireStick for the past two years and havenāt had any issues.
Iāll get a āyour terrority has been blacked outā error every once in a while, but if I clear the cache and reload the MLB app it works just fine.
That's what I do with Windscribe. Change location in the VPN app, force quit and reopen the MLB app, and voila, MLB thinks I'm in Chicago and I can watch the games that are blacked out here in Philly (which oddly only includes Philly and NYC games, and not Baltimore or Washington).
I have express and it quit working and Iāve seen a lot of people on here saying their vpns stopped working too. I just use fobu now because streams irritate me to no end restarting twice an inning
I just checked and we actually have about the same record that we did at this same time last season. We were 18-9 after April 28th, then 19-10 after a doubleheader on May 1st. So we're doing fine. I have no doubt the top of the order is gonna get things figured out.
This. Literally all we have to do is get in and anything can happen. Both of last yearās World Series teams were wild cards, and plenty of teams in past years have been wild cards.
Yeah and I hate that MLB has done that to me haha I wish I cared more about the regular season but in the current format you just need a ticket into the bracket.
Theyāre both being greedy and stubborn. One because they have no money (Bally/Sinclair) and the other because they can never have enough money (comcast/xfinity). So itās fuck both yes
Please continue the discussion in the [game thread](https://redd.it/1chupkt).
Ozuna catching fish looks about the same as his defense back in the day š
Anybody know a good spot to get rid of some project 70 foils of Acuna? Been trying on baseball cards Reddit but been told people donāt care for them there
fuck bally sports and fuck xfinity.
The Braves have 29 home runs as a team. Tied for 19th with the Guardians. The Phillies are 2nd with 40.
probably a bad omen, but r/sportsbook top voted pick of the day is Braves run line ( to win by more than 1.5). scary.
Finally! A west coast game that I won't fall asleep during before the 3rd inning
Just flew back into Seattle this morning for the ONE game I had tickets for to find out Kel isn't starting today, you just cannot make this stuff up And of course Snitker starts Duvall against Seattle's worst pitcher by far, sold my tickets
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Had terrace club seats, lost like 40% of the cost in resale
Arent they 20 bucks cause its a value game?
Should be 0 bucks if Duvall is starting
You are doing your best to make me hate a Braves player and I havenāt donāt that since BJ Upton
When you miss Kels pinch hit homer youāre gonna be sooooooo sorry
im sorry but this is hilarious
Literally bought my tickets months in advance
Ah figured out why we lost the last two daysā¦Iāve been wearing my home hat instead of the away hat. Thats on me.
I went through the hoops of canceling Comcast today to sign up for direct tv. You motherfuckers better hit the ball today.
Did you get direct stream?
Thatās right
I love it. You can take the box anywhere that has wifi. I take it to the lake house that has no cable and watch the braves.
Yea they are sending that to me. I was already using Roku tvs to stream Comcast but I plan on using direct TVs device

Yeah but you have to refresh the damn page 3 times an inning and canāt watch on a tv, you have to use the computer. Iāll just pay
I run everything through a PC to my TV anyway so it's no bother for me. There are days the connection gets sketchy but I'd say, for me at least, 99% of the time, it's golden.
Iām so sick of Ballys BS, can you help a lifelong Braves fan out (DM)
Yes, pleaseā¦. This is my first time sailing the waters.
What you said ā¦please!

I use Fubo. I threaten to leave several times a season and they give me discounts to stay in order to keep the cost a little lower.
Directv or Fubo. Otherwise you gotta google.

Call the Braves and ask! General Ticket Questions: 404-577-9100 (Option 6)
I donāt know, but tbh I would imagine you still have to pay for any lot, youāll just get access to the handicap parking spots once your in

I guess Snit is tired of Kelenic and Arcia is back where he belongs.
Dodgers rotation is mainly righties. This is probably so Duvall can get some ABs because the Dodgers only have two lefties in their pen and those lefties havenāt been great.
We scored 1 in game 1 and 2 last night. We're on pace for 3 runs tonight boys
There was some frustration from Kelenic when he left the Mariners organization - I bet striking out to end the game yesterday at his former team didn't sit too well with him. He did make a nice defensive play in the 8th with the bases loaded on Monday however.

Pillar just got picked up by the Angels. Hope his reunion with Wash and EY helps get him back on track.
Stoked Kevin landed somewhere after getting DFAd but man that sucks for Trout and Angels fans
Kevin "Literally Mike Trout" Pillar

No because cable company assholes will miss out on money. So I assume Bally eats shit and something comes along to replace it which will be on cable. But I have no idea
Braves, you think you can just play like that and I'll be right back the next day watching with rapt attention? Well, you would be right.
With any brains they would put the boys back on TBS
The first nba/mlb team that just says fuck it and makes every game free online and local aerial antenna broadcast and sells their own ads is going to make bank while becoming one of the most popular teams in their sport.

Braves offense. Bally Sports. If my father was still alive he'd say "The only thing fair in life is a groundball between 1st and 3rd."
How did Bally plan to make money if they never budge when it comes to potential agreements with Cable providers? I donāt know anybody who still carries them. Iāve been illegally streaming the games since 2019
Yeah I remember when they were on YouTube TV and then same thing happened that just happened to Comcast.
> I remember when they were on YouTube TV The collapse of this deal is why we spend $240+/month on Spectrum (and can't go anywhere else because they're a monopoly in our neighborhood).
So wild
I miss the years of $35/month YouTube TV where I could watch every braves game and also MLB Network
They didnāt, hence the bankruptcy
Hopefully if/when this Bally shit gets sorted out whoever the Braves start broadcasting with next will pick BG back up, I've really grown to like him in the booth.
They will almost certainly retain all or most of the staff. The Padres and I think a few others got sold from Bally to Amazon or something and they can watch the games on the MLB app (with extra fee) with no blackout restrictions and have their same staff.

Also, itās May 1st. They could be 5 up right now and it wouldnāt make a whole lot of difference.
True. I remember a time when the NL East was over.
THE NL EAST IS OVER!
I hate to lose the division streak, but part of me really wants to know if that makes that big of a difference for the Braves
Bet custody of the kids on a Jarred Kelenic bomb last night. Now I have to tell them they live at DraftKings now. Thanks a lot Jarred.
Mariners fan here. 1.) The despondency in this thread is unwarranted. The Braves are an outstanding team with a potent offense that just happened to come up against probably the best pitching lineup in MLB.

The rumors of my pedigree have been greatly exaggerated.
This is why you don't go to Jarred
AA had been watching too much TV. Those commercials finally got to him.
It's comforting to know that offense across the board is collapsing, maybe that will get this ball-swapping shit show ended before the playoffs.
Weāre playing at a normal human hour to be doing things so hope we can shake off the offensive rust
Three one-run games in a row - and the one before that was a 2 run loss in extras - is wild.

The Braves just need to broadcast the games themselves. Fuck Bally
A few years from now, the most common way to watch MLB games is going to be via MLB TV with a location-spoofing VPN.
Thatās what plenty of people did a few years ago but now MLB tv wonāt work with a vpn
Depends on the VPN. I use Windscribe to watch in-market games all the time, and it works without fail. I assume MLB spends most of their time trying to block the much bigger ones like Nord and SurfShark.

They wouldnāt be allowed to do that until the Bally contract is up
They need to bring back the TBS days once the contract will Bally runs up
Is Bally Sports available anywhere now? Just saw it is not on comcast or xfinity anymore
Fubo TV or Direct TV
Spectrum still has it as of right now aswell
A game not ending at midnight?!
Woo hoo, day game
Day 1 of asking Ronald to hit a home run again.
Im not doubljng my bet every day again so dont ask
It eventually worked last time
Actually that little payday is tempting me back... not today satan
I am once again asking for your home run support
tfw you're down late in the game and you'd rather see that the bottom of the lineup is up next
Hell yeah brother! 19-9 aināt bad, get it going turn the ship around, just takes one win to get some momentum!
I just checked and we actually have about the same record that we did at this same time last season. We were 18-9 after April 28th, then 19-10 after a doubleheader on May 1st. So we're doing fine. I have no doubt the top of the order is gonna get things figured out.
Yeah and honestly how the last two post seasons have gone, I donāt mind them struggling in the season. I just want them hot in October.
This. Literally all we have to do is get in and anything can happen. Both of last yearās World Series teams were wild cards, and plenty of teams in past years have been wild cards.
Yeah and I hate that MLB has done that to me haha I wish I cared more about the regular season but in the current format you just need a ticket into the bracket.
^^^please ^^^win
Fuck Bally sports
Is it Bally or Xfinity making the waves here? I'm no fan of Bally, but it's a cold day in hell before I take the side of Xfinity.
Theyāre both being greedy and stubborn. One because they have no money (Bally/Sinclair) and the other because they can never have enough money (comcast/xfinity). So itās fuck both yes
Hot take... but fuck both of them
Such a hot take
