Verlander was supposed to throw the ceremonial pitch in game 1 but the Astro players went to management and nixed it. Apparently they aren't too impressed that he has had nothing to do with the team during his rehab. He did cash the $30 million though.

It's a beautiful park, one of the nicest I've been to. It's right on the bay situated on the start of the Embarcadero. Great to walk before or after the game. 21st Amendment Brewery is nearby for great beer and food.

One piece of advice: Dress warmly or bring layers in case the temperature drops at night. The wind coming off the bay can be bone-chilling.

Frankly sounds like a ridiculous story. How are those players the ones to talk about anything righteous?

Hot take. The Jays deserve to be in the playoffs. Angel Hernandez doesn’t.

What a throw by Betts. One of the best of the year - on the button.

How frustrating is this? A semi-final playoff series that I can't find anywhere on TV. Sportsnet has two channels running the Canada-Jamaica game and one running plays of the month. I have an MLB.tv sub but I can't watch on that as they black out playoff games outside the US. WTF?!?!?

Super Mario is at least helping out today.

ETA I just discovered I can watch through the MLB.tv browser but not on my app. Sigh.

Sportsnet has no rights to mlb.tv games, simple as that.
It's on RDS

Red Sox up 4-2 eh? And already 10 hits with a ton of hard contact. That's after putting up 20 hits on Friday. Against the Rays. Hmm.

The Rays need to find a way to win this series. I can't imagine a more deplorable matchup than the Red Sox vs Cheaters in the CS.

Yes, exactly.

And MLB.tv is blacking it out to Canadians. It's stupid. People in Canada who paid MLB and cable companies for subscriptions have to resort to piracy to watch the damn game (in English, that is)?

But both are actually cheaters as Cora brought it with him from the Astros when he went to Boston. But the Sox got off the hook with Manfred because they're one of his cash cows.

The Sign stealing scandal with video feeds being used to relay pitch selections to hitters so they knew what was coming. Banging on trash cans. Buzzers. The whole shebang. Surprised you haven't heard of it. It was kind of a big deal.

I don’t want anyone in the AL to win so unless Bane is now showing up to sporting events I kinda don’t care. But it’s weird to see Boston and Tampa playing and it doesn’t pain me at all to think of the Sox winning. I dislike them all so I just want every team to lose in the most painful fashion possible.

App or browser? I can watch it on PC with chrome but not on Android tablet or phone.

Maybe I spoke too quickly.

Both platforms work fine for me. I think what you may have been doing is selecting the Tampa Bay feed which is the one blacked out? The Boston feed is the international one that should work on all devices.
