    Ugh, another bad game. Again, feels like a road playoff game. Guess the Giants know they're not gonna win it all since it's an odd year, so they have to have something to celebrate about.

    L.A. Times today. Chris Erskine, a respected (by me anyway) sports columnist acting like "Leo LaPort The Tech Guy" (great radio show) and explaining how to use what this site offers for nominal fee,

    https://unlocator.com

    ........to pair with subscription to MLB.TV and get past the local TWC area blackout. Maybe TWC is unhappy about this, but of course F*** them and F*** Magic too for his callous comments I posted a couple days ago here, about the lack of TV not being a big thing to the Dodgers' brand and business.

    Calling all tech guys on the site here ...... woooot ....woooot....woooot!! What do you think? I would certainly "guess" that Chris sought legal guidance before using the platform of the Times to put this news out there.

    We needed some wins. Can't win anything in April, but you can sure lose it. Still in the basement, but showing signs of life. Bum and Kershaw will be back at it Monday.

    Yea the Giants needed it and we know they come to play when its LA on the docket. I wouldn't be surprised if LA returns the favor but they play so close it can go either way come Monday. Lets say I am hoping we return the favor lol.

    This is kind of what I use, except I use privateinternetaccess.com for about $7/mo.

    I've been able to see every game I've tried so far, and I'm happy. :rofl: I connect to a server in Texas and it's fast and friendly. However, when the Dodgers played Colorado, my Texas connection didn't work, so I tried Florida and it worked. Thought they were in different time zones still? Maybe it was too close? :think: There are at least 40 or so different places you can connect all across the globe, so plenty of choices. It can get finnicky, though, since nothing in the States worked when we played Arizona, so I connected to Switzerland. Of course, I get all Switzerland currency when I'm eBay or Etsy shopping. Lol. :p

    Unfortunately, I couldn't get the game today on my main computer after trying the 3 or 4 different servers I normally use (yeah, I should have tried more, lol), so I went on my laptop, and it worked. Not sure what the problem was, but oh well, I got to see the game. :inlove:

    Another option is to use livestream.com and search for "Dodgers". 100% free for viewers; just need to create an account. There is usually a particular guy streaming the game from his home in good quality, albeit a bit slanted/skewed (probably from propping up his camera from the floor). The sound is ambient, though, so it's not too great, plus sometimes his kids are home and you can hear them in the background. :D

    The Giants will always be in it. They have great defense, and still a great batting lineup from Aioki to Maxwell. The pitching could use some help, but regardless, they always find ways to win one way or another, be it a bloop single, or a lucky dribbler along the foul line.

    BTW, great win today! How about that Pederson kid performing above and beyond all expectations?! His slash line is just filthy. Gets on base almost half the time and has a .912 OPS. :drunk: :rock: AND, he's playing like a gold glove defender in center to boot! Just sick.

    He won't hit enough homers to beat out Kris Bryant for ROY, but hey, you never know who they give the award to. Hoping it's Joc! :party:

    Not this year. We only win in even years. Lincecum's $20 million ends this year. They can spend that on a big bat and some pitching help. Right now it's Bumgarner and... and... and that's it for starters.

    Still a strong defense though.

    And yeah I was pretty happy watching Lincecum poop the bed against us. I cannot explain his cataclysmic fall. I know the whole weight gain/weight loss thing, but his stuff is just awful now. He's just a bad pitcher. What a fall that guy took.
