MLB Network

Not 100% sure if I heard HR correctly, but I believe he said Mauer hurts his case for MVP because HE IS A CATCHER, which means he cannot play every day, unlike Derek Jeter.

And I think I heard him say that Mauer played in 130 games (he played 138) while Jeter played every day (actually 153), for a 32 game difference (technically less than half of that, but whatever).

HR said JM played in 110 games -- cherry picking that he had, in fact, played in 138 games (DH, etc).

I'm so glad I won't even hear HR by accident all winter, at least

Mauer was injured for the start of the season, and returned on May 1st. He missed 22 games because of injury. Besides the injury, he only missed two games. So what the fuck is harold on about.

ugh

extra time to work on the interns in the winter

A graphic of McCovey's OPS+ was just shown as a graphic on Baseball Seasons: 1959.

A graphic shown as a graphic, yes.

yeah, Harold Reynolds doesnt work on that show.

what's up with that douchebag Ken Rosenthal who plans out everything he's going to say then gets all emphatic reciting the rehearsed lines while gesturing with his hands. everyone else talks normal or at least fakes off the cuff while dude is doing little orphan annie monologues.

why are you watching this in the offseason, for insight?

they were talking about the beltre signing

Jon Heyman is dumber on MLB network than he is in his column.

MLBN personalities POX

Mae
Ripken
Gammons
Leiter
Williams(?!)

Uh... make that POV. These people are the least annoying of the bunch.

Yelloff is the worst: "Look at the numbers of Cubs starter Carlos SILVA! WHAT'S UP WITH THAT?!?!"

Dan Plesac = Horatio Sanz

Does Gammons have a regular timeslot on this channel? I don't want to just leave the yammering running, hoping PG will make an appearance.

pg was on night before last and dude was basically like, "meh..." for all discussion points. that's how he came across, anyway.

getting kind of sick of millar
pretty shrewd move bringing him on for the nascar set

Plesac and Williams are pretty good. I prefer them to anyone on Baseball Tonight. Ripken makes me uncomfortable for some reason but he's fine too.

i dont understand from a business perspective the point of solid 60 (only live look ins no desk)
its basically the "see i knew i didn't need to buy extra innings" show

that might be true for East Coast fans but for me (here in Los Angeles) i could not live without MLB Extra Innings.

I liked Bob Costas and Jim Kaat doing the Mets - Phillies game Thurs. night.

Also it was nice to be able to watch the end of the Halladay perfect game as it was happening.

Gas face to Fuck Face for citing wins as the ultimate (only?) determining factor for his hypothetical CY vote.

Scoffing at Verducci's logical defense of Felix: also worthy of the gas face.

who is FF? I only miss MLBN for the games.

http://deadspin.com/assets/resources/2007/05/BillRipkenFuckFace2.jpg

Verducci fills out a suit jacket like Skeletor

During MLB Network's playoff preview, Plesac goes off on the postseason brilliance of Mariano Rivera -- like we're all in for a real treat, and you can BET ON IT -- as a highlight reel of his regular-season blown saves is played. One of the superlatives is synced up perfectly with Rivera sulking off the mound.

Millar has proclaimed that Carl Crawford is now a baseball player. He was just an athlete prior to 2010. What was Millar, then?

Larkin apparently on ESPN now.

These people need to chill w/ the bug zapper graphic FX.

no desire to hear any of the Ex-Jock Tonight blather

lol

you missed one Andy :-)

uverse added mlb network!

(had to upgrade to u300 so an extra $15/month, but worth it imo)

NOW WITH GARY SHEFFIELD

uverse added mlb network!

that is really cool that they were able to add this. now only really Dish Network remains to be signed up.

classique matt vasdeferensvirginsurgeon sonning of harold reynolds:

folks, look that clip up on the internet, we don't have time for that one tonight

kevin millar is a trainwreck

live look-in to royals vs. rangers:

rangers booth announcer goes "location is all about pitching"

kevin millar is a trainwreck

"Intentional Talk" is the worst program on any cable network right now and possibly ever. It makes me very angry watching these two clowns.

Al Michaels and Bob Costas are doing the Mets vs. Giants game tonight at 7PM.

The first three innings will be fairly basic, with Costas calling the first inning and a half and Michaels the next inning and a half. They'll speak directly to fans of both teams by switching to SportsNet New York's booth for the fourth and fifth innings before taking over ComCast SportsNet Bay Area's broadcast for the sixth and seventh innings (Krukow and Kuiper will handle MLB Network duties during that span). Then it's back to the MLB Network telecast for both Michaels and Costas.

anyone listening?

it has been a pretty cool broadcast.

MLB Network was just been added to Dish Network for the stretch run, now they have around 75 million people on board:

don't have cable anymore, so you'll have to tell me if I have a cameo:
