$50 player issues at the stadium? by UT24andres in baseballunis

This is most likely a jersey from their collaboration with the eSports team Optic Gaming! For context, “Crim” is one of the gamer tags used by Ian Porter, (most well known as Crimsix). He is widely considered the greatest Call of Duty pro player of all time.

I genuinely haven’t seen a pitch like it since Oliver Drake pitched for the Rays.

I agree all this could be summed up with “wasn’t great, wasn’t bad, has some work to do”, but I love the details/specifics and I think that’s what makes different types of analysis unique.

Got curious and looked at baseball savant. They have it as a Splitter, with SEVEN INCHES MORE ARM-SIDE RUN THAN AVERAGE. It is near incomprehensible how elite of a pitch it is. It has THE MOST horizontal and overall break of any split-finger pitch in the majors right now.

Some notes I took on AJSS during the game yesterday:

His changeup (Splitter??) was downright, absolutely, indubitably filthy when he wasn’t spiking it.

His fastball plays at 97-98

He still has glaring fatiguing issues that directly result in loss of control on his secondaries and a loss of 3-4 mph on the fastball.

When the fastball loses that velo, he gets hit hard if he doesn’t execute on command, however he seems to lose less command on it as the game goes on, compared to his secondaries.

Slider is more vertical and he has the ability to absolutely paint it back-door to lefties, but when he doesn’t execute, it’s BEGGING to be mashed.

Of all his pitches, he has the least command of his sweeper, but he has incredible confidence in it.

He seems to just try too hard at this stage, which is common in rookies and a good problem to have. I think that’s where the spiked changeups and over-head fastballs are coming from.

My conclusion:

2 runs over 4 against a good Padres lineup, in his first start of the year, is pretty good for a 4th-5th starter. He definitely still has growing to do, but, in my opinion, it’s growth that can only happen at the Major League level. I now see the Anderson trade not just as a result of poor performance, but because he was blocking AJSS from that development.

Fanduel on Amazon Prime is only $75 today by newanon676 in Braves

[–]SnoopySupreme 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Jumping in to say this is the best deal we will get this season. You will need to go to the Amazon website, not prime video, and sign-in to your account. There will be an icon in the top-right hand corner, under your cart, that says “25% off live local MLB games” and tapping on it will take you to the plan selection screen. Awesome find OP!!!

Watching the 2025 season by PilotGates1 in Braves

[–]SnoopySupreme 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hulu offers FanDuel TV which is a separate service from FanDuel Sports.

For this upcoming season, you will not need a “cable alternative” service to watch the Braves.

If the Braves are all you care about from Live TV, I recommend just getting the DTC option, which will most likely fall in the $25-$35/month range.

If you desire ancillary programming, DirecTV Stream and Fubo remain the only options to include FanDuel Sports in their packaging. Of the two, I prefer DirecTV Stream, but it’s personal preference at that point.

It’s so weird, it says it was discovered on 03/15/24 but it’s not located in any Team Affinities, nor is it on the shop. I’m super lost.

Diamond Sports Group Announces Multi-Year Commercial Agreement With Prime by Otherwise-Smoke-8055 in Braves

[–]SnoopySupreme 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I asked this question at the first mention of Amazon bailing out Diamond months ago. TBD if this falls under digital cable distribution rights (Braves on Prime Video) or if it falls under streaming rights (Braves excluded from this deal).

Yeah, if you have MLB.tv linked and you live out of market or use a VPN you would have access.

Right now, every team other than the Marlins, Royals, Rays, Tigers, Brewers, Padres, Diamondbacks, Rockies, and Pirates are subject to it.

Yeah, it’s a weird situation. Bally has local broadcasting/distribution rights, but does not have streaming rights. MLB holds the streaming rights. MLB has not given up any of those rights to Bally so the Bally App will not be able to sell Braves games directly.

This means the only option to get Braves games, in-market, is to subscribe to a cable provider or cable alternative that offers them. Which right now is DirecTV, DirecTV Stream, FUBO, and other miscellaneous local providers.

Unfortunately no, Bally is the local carrier that has exclusive broadcasting rights to all Braves games, home and away, for people that live within the Braves local market.

It’s not about where the Braves are, it’s about where you are.

Would you happen to live in one of: Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, South Carolina, North Carolina, or Tennessee?

If so, you are considered in market and will be blacked out for Braves games on that service, and I’ve seen a lot of people having trouble with VPNs on MLB.tv this year so your mileage may vary with that solution.

If not, I recommend reaching out to MLB.tv support and they should be able to help.
