Just looked at my T-Mobile Tuesdays app and saw that the free MLB.tv offer is coming back. It’s not available yet, but the message says “Must access T-Mobile Tuesdays and sign up for MLB.tv between 3/28-4/4/2023.”
So keep an eye out.

Sweet. I didn’t imagine my grandfathered Sprint plan was eligible, but last season, to my surprise it was. However by then I had already bought mlb.tv for the season. This year I bought mlb.tv monthly so I could get spring training, then cancel if t-mobile offered the regular season as they have in the past.
That combined with the news that mlb is proly going to stream the games that were on Bally Sports San Diego free in-market. Nice, as that’s the most expensive peice of the puzzle by far.

What, no MCI?
Sprint was my favorite old-school carrier, before cell even. That’s because they were a spin-off of the (also long gone) Southern Pacific Railroad.
Sprint also traces its roots back to the Southern Pacific Railroad (SPR), which was founded in the 1860s as a subsidiary of the Southern Pacific Company (SPC). The company operated thousands of miles of track as well as telegraph wire that ran along those tracks…
n the mid-1970s, SPC held a contest to select a new name for the company. The winning entry was “SPRINT”, an acronym for S outhern P acific R ailroad I nternal N etworking T elephony.

I asked chatGPT to write a sonnet about the Mets:
Amidst the concrete jungle of the east,
A team in orange and blue takes the field,
Their fans with hopeful hearts and fervent beast,
Awaiting each pitch, each hit, each yield.
The Mets, a team of highs and lows alike,
Their history a mix of triumph and pain,
But still, their loyal fans, they never strike,
And every season, they come back again.
From Seaver to Strawberry, Piazza to Wright,
The legends of the past still hold their place,
But new stars rise and shine with all their might,
To take on the challenge and embrace.
The cheers of “Let’s go Mets” echo loud,
Their spirit unbreakable, their love unbound.
A team of highs? ChatGPT not as smart as we thought.
It’s referring to Doc Gooden’s cocaine use.

If he wasn’t on the Mets and not recently signed to a huge extension, I’d laugh.
Shit like this is what will stop elite players from playing in the WBC in the future and it’ll be back to America sucking
Meh, it could’ve happened getting out of his car. Or covering first base in a spring training game. Or a spring training workout. It’s not a WBC thing. It’s the Mets never being allowed to have nice things thing.

My god this game has the intensity and atmosphere of like a decade’s worth of World Series Game 7s combined.
Sending AAA pitchers was a bold strategy. Surely pure-blooded American Trevor Bauer was available?
Who’s playing
USA#1 v. Venezuela
It was super loud when Venezuela took the lead and thought they were going to beat us at our own game,

but then Captain America Trea Turner put on his Gadsden flag cape and put a boot in their ass courtesy of the red, white, and blue. Another kickball country’s hopes dashed, their dreams down the drain.

The WBC hats are amazing. I wore a Team Canada one to Wrigley a few years ago that got reactions from meatheads. Decent chance they mark most of these way down in the coming months.
