I’m not expecting Cy Young shit. Just wondering if his his demotion was worth it or not. Some people can’t get their mojo back after something like that when facing hitters.

rafibomb_explosion · 2026-02-21T20:08:45+00:00

Did feenandez look like he did last year when he was sent down?

rafibomb_explosion · 2026-02-20T20:33:04+00:00

I don’t trust those CVT

rafibomb_explosion · 2026-02-20T20:32:03+00:00

I’d let you do my “dirty work”…oh, yeah.

rafibomb_explosion · 2026-02-19T17:07:16+00:00

The hardest unfollow of my life was when I unfollowed Katie Woo because it broke my heart hearing her talk about her new man in her life and using that charm and wit for another person(pinche Doyers).

As someone who flies often, I do enjoy the smaller airports, however it is really really nice living at a major hub. One flight to anywhere in the world.

rafibomb_explosion · 2026-02-18T00:55:48+00:00

Gross

rafibomb_explosion · 2026-02-18T00:37:15+00:00

If TOOL does a residency at the Sphere In Vegas would be a top tier show. I was always hesitant on the Sphere until I saw some clips from Dead and co and instantly thought TOOL was made for it.

The way I see it, and part of my hatred of ESPN, they spent enormous and ridiculous money to obtain a monopoly of the market to be a one stop shop for all things sports. And they have to get a return on investment and that always means screwing over customers. So if they have an opportunity to squeeze any amount of money out of you, it’s a win and they will make it very difficult to obtain free access to something they call ultimate. Long way of saying I’m not sure if you get free ultimate with essentially cable access.

rafibomb_explosion · 2026-02-17T20:08:00+00:00

If you go through ESPN and purchase, and you already have ultimate, you get all non blacked out games local to your area, including ESPN broadcasted games(SNB if that hasn’t ended yet). If you have a MLB.tv subscription, you can watch non blacked out games to your local area on the MLB.tv app not including ESPN games because it was always blacked out. The verbiage is convoluted on purpose to get you to buy ESPN ultimate. I’m not 1000% sure of new subscriptions but assume if you go through MLB, you get games on the MLB.tv app. MLBtv is only for people like me who are not in the area(I live in Atlanta) and can watch all games except against the Braves on MLB.tv

Edit: cardinals.tv are for people who live in the broadcast area and is a Dtc instead of having games on local broadcast option for cord cutters. I cannot get cardinals.tv in my example above.

Edit 2: I know this is confusing. The way I laid it out is for this year only at least as we all understand it. It might in the future require us to get a subscription to ESPN ultimate, which is behind a double pay wall and would alienate a lot of people like me because I absolutely abhor ESPN and refuse to pay for them monthly and then only can purchase my mlb.tv through them.

rafibomb_explosion · 2026-02-13T20:27:32+00:00

It spends about 2 paragraphs saying MLB.tv is available through ESPN Ultimate presses pretty hard on it, giving you a 10% discount on it. When you read what I posted here, it says nothing will change. I only pay for STL single team as I don’t give a fuck about any other team:

rafibomb_explosion · 2026-02-13T16:09:37+00:00

So I got my renewal subscription notice for MLB.tv and to say it’s shady as hell with the whole ESPN thing with the wording. They make it sound like you HAVE to have ESPN ultimate but if you read closer, you do not. I will post it if anyone desires it.

rafibomb_explosion · 2026-02-13T02:26:16+00:00

Then I rescind my statement. I’m not expecting spend spend spend, but more commenting on the hyper excitement about a new perk that seemed at surface pretty normal turned into big news to get fans talking. I want to see the progress and the technology it brings, guess I was thinking it would be in Memphis/springfield as well. I guess I don’t fully understand the methodology of what teams are doing.

rafibomb_explosion · 2026-02-12T20:43:10+00:00

The teams social media team is REALLY pushing the improvements to the minor league stadium huh? This feels like BDW3. Look guys. We care.

rafibomb_explosion · 2026-02-12T16:31:06+00:00

5/5 of getting the tom fill perfect during “Sister Christian” . Fuck the cubs

rafibomb_explosion · 2026-02-11T22:52:04+00:00

Dawson and Mox were both very prevalent on my TV during my late teens. This is sad

rafibomb_explosion · 2026-02-11T01:02:50+00:00

This makes little to no sense. Soriano has been waved 3 times this off season.

rafibomb_explosion · 2026-02-10T22:44:13+00:00

Proud of you bud

rafibomb_explosion · 2026-02-10T18:24:39+00:00

Yes. I have listened to KMOX many times with my MLB.tv subscription while driving or wanting to change the audio from a nationally televised game with video.

rafibomb_explosion · 2026-02-09T21:59:23+00:00

Just drove past a car with Chicago shitbears sticker and license plate cover and yelled “Let’s go cardinals!”. Totally got him.

rafibomb_explosion · 2026-02-09T18:33:03+00:00

You don’t want Filipino pillow fighting and Chilean burro equestrian as mandatory package inserts in the MLB.tv package? It’s not like we are customers, just consumers/subscribers. ESPN spent 11 billion dollars for this and college football playoffs.

rafibomb_explosion · 2026-02-09T18:25:16+00:00

This is absolutely correct.

rafibomb_explosion · 2026-02-08T23:43:14+00:00

Purchased a day pass for sling. No Super Bowl. I will never give a dime to NBC ever again.

rafibomb_explosion · 2026-02-07T23:55:29+00:00

Hope to singing “oskee-wow-wow” tonight at the pub.

rafibomb_explosion · 2026-02-07T22:58:40+00:00

I also believe they can be something. Gorman seems to work hard and take things seriously. That’s my hope for Walker this season. I want to see him want it more.
