Even before the couple of rainouts already, there was only ONE scheduled TV game on ESPN. They used to have like 3 or 4 back to back on opening day. Has it really gone downhill that fast?
In other news, STOP starting the season with home games in the northeast. The Braves have played opening day series in Philly 3 out of the last 6 years. In 2 other seasons they started in New York and Washington.
Mlb is the worst at marketing their sport.
Also let's blackout half the country even though you pay for MLB.tv. It is honestly like they don't want new fans.
My Reds begin the march towards November
I am going to miss watching Vatto. Reds have some good young talent.Quote:

I think he is with the Rays system now. Holder is at Round Rock/Quote:

As a Cardinals fan I just hope this is Mozeliak's last season.
Jake Mangum is with the Tampa Bay Rays. He was one of the last cut. He is starting in AAA. He actually lead the team in batting avg for Spring Training.Quote:

I remember when the lookouts came to Biloxi and watched him run the bases. He was the closest thing to a Gazelle there could be. He just glided around the bases.Quote:
