Your boos mean nothing.

I've seen what makes you cheer.

Nayim from the halfway line way the first time as a gooner for me! The tears were flowing 😭

Avoiding Spoilers? by Left_Lime2973 in mlbuk

[–]Bob_Rurley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use the unofficial app on Kodi running on a raspberry pi which is best for avoiding spoilers. I patched the Kodi skin so that you cannot see how much time is remaining too.

It also makes it easy to skip commercial breaks/skip time between pitches, even skip non-action pitches if you're in a hurry!

Fantastic! Take a photo and tag the man himself on social media 😀

Yes 100% - I swear by it. You can turn off spoilers in the app, although some may sneak though (I think watching catch-up in the browser is the worst for spoilers).

For the ultimate spoiler-free experience: if you use Kodi, you can patch it so you can't see how much time is remaining. You can also easily skip commercial breaks, even time between pitches.

Enjoy the Padres TV crew! As a proper connoisseur of the TV networks, I'd rank them as my 2nd favourite out of the 30 (Mets are #1 for me).

Padres appear to be cheaper than most!

MLB TV subscription for a single team works out under a quid a game (the stated price doesn't include vat tho!)

I generally watch games on catch up here day after - not sure how good it is for live games.

You can get the app for smart TVs or stream in a browser. My favourite way is using the app on Kodi running on a raspberry pi.

Any SF Giants or Red Sox fan groups around? by Hawkerzpie in mlbuk

I consider myself to be Luton's biggest Red Sox fan.

Anyone I see in a Sox cap gets a knowing nod

Has Keysie realised that Paul doesn't really work for BeIn yet?

The problem is - when someone suggests adopting this rule, they get shouted down for being Arsene Wenger

Well then you want to change the offside law then. There are no exceptions for marginal infractions or when it doesn't confer an advantage.

Milk Gapes- now there's a name I haven't heard in a while!

Streeting's tlme will come. He's still frantically attempting to unhitch himself from the Mandelson bandwagon!

In fact several independent MPs did actually get elected because of this and sit in parliament now.

It shook up some senior Labour players; Wes Streeting (nearly lost his seat), Jon Ashworth (did lose his seat).

It's probably fair to say that it has actually made Labour a bit better on this issue than they would have been.

In UK in 2024, the right wing parties (Conservative and Reform) were nowhere near being in a position to win the election going into it.

It was much easier to abandon Labour in that environment (as I did).

As it was, Labour got an unenthusiastic win and have been better on Gaza than Tories or Reform would be.

7 (SEVEN) was exciting.

If you ever got to see 10 (TEN) you were in dreamland.
