    If you sir believe there is as much action in a baseball game as there is in a soccer game. Just let me know, I can send you links.

    Soccer and baseball have the same thing where the casual thinks it's boring as fuck (I don't understand how soccer is so popular but it is so they know more than I). But there is action every pitch. Before the rule changes and now, it just takes paying attention to.

    But I get it, and just like soccer guy will have a hard time changing minds, same with baseball guy.

    But it is the greatest sport in the world for reasons beyond the game. And I'm okay if people don't understand, same way I don't understand why soccer is the favorite of hundreds of millions.

    Looking to see how the pitching staff comes together. Would be nice to see Ray get his stuff back.

    Robbie Ray is like CJ McCollum with actual accolades. Frustrating AF. Lol

    I'm ready. Got my Hebrew National dogs, Guinness, M's jersey.

    If they lose game 1 will they tank the rest of the year for a pick?

    My question is why can’t you always see the pitch and runner clocks like you can the shot clock in basketball? It should be in the bottom corners.

    it’s a nice perk, unfortunately I don’t have t-mobile. It would be blacked out here too. That’s why I bite the bullet with xfinity to be able to watch both the mariners and blazers, it’s 100% worth the extra $10-20 a month more than YouTubeTV for me personally
