And this is the Post, so, they think it's super cool.

After you paste the link hit ener and it usually populates the tweet. I use google chrome, may be different for other platforms.

Lets hope they don't take any games off of the ones they are scheduled to play.

My guess it that the moral/spiritual angle is a part of it, just not the only or even the primary reason. I'm still curious to see if recent actions/statements by the Pope will create more interest in the Catholic Church.

I'm good. Already had apple tv just chagrinned we don't get our Benetti and crew broadcast on the one night I don't have other crap going on.

Robbie Roadkill, Kegbreath, . . . Even if you didn't know about the encouragement of pestilence and the murders in international waters and the like you'd know we were doomed just by the cabinet secrataries' nicknames

That Marathon Day game works well for me because that means I get to watch it at 9:10 AM MDT.

And, this will be the 4th game of a stretch of 13 games in a row without a day off.

Mize, Skubal, Valdez, then Jack on Boston Marathon Day.

I have access to Apple TV through my son. The main thing I’ve watched has been some nature documentaries, and the Foundation TV series. Something like 14 of the Tigers games this season are only going to be available from other sources such as Apple, Peacock, and God knows what else.

This would support the hypothesis this is it’s happening due to something other than the spiritual/moral angle.

All I do is, when on X, click Copy Link from the share icon; paste it directly into the input box on MTF; and voila, it (usually) automagically converts from the link to the tweet. If you’re on X in a browser, you might be able to copy the URL in the address bar and paste it here, and get the same result.

From the female perspective: a lot of women are seeing religion used as a tool to reduce their rights in multiple ways, and to trap them into dependence on men. Most of us do not want to go back to the days of being property.

The easy answer that doesn't really answer the question - just move it up a level on the 'meta'-scale, is that this group hasn't found meaning, or maybe is more focused on finding meaning, than the generation of young men that went before them. To me a number like that is a double-edged sword. I think in general it's great if any group of people are approaching life a little more seriously. OTOH, young men searching for meaning are usually the willing clay for all kinds of radical movements and irrational/disastrous results. Or it could be as simple as that they are unable to find fulfilling relationships with the opposite sex because relationship culture for the young in the US is really screwed up today.

This makes a lot more sense than the idea the engineers are too incompetent to make the radio overlay match up with the video. Now I am wondering whether the situation is simply that the AV engineers working local TV and audio engineers working local radio on a game broadcast are two different sets of professionals working independently for different companies and are beholden to their companies’ different mandates, and that there’s a third set of engineers (?) working for MLB who are responsible only for making the radio audio available with the video as an option for MLB.tv subscribers to listen to. If this is truly the situation, it might explain why there are other broadcasts that experience this timing mismatch between radio overlay and video, and others that do not: some teams’ radio audio or TV AV engineers may engage in this compression tactic as a way to shoehorn a full pod of commercials in, while others may not. It would also seem to explain how the overlay/video mismatch can be substantial in one part of the broadcast, off by five or even ten seconds, while matched up perfectly in another part of the broadcast.

If you happen to have TMobile it's $3 a month for up to 5 people.

Thanks for that, but what's the method for making them show rather thna just the link?

I can respect that kind of thinking, although I don't think it can work in highly populated areas. What I can't respect is the support for fascism and theocracy that I am seeing all over the place.

there are some places where I would agree it's better not to get tied up with the gov in the first place. For instance I think NPR is better off being fully independent. Turns out the public is willing to support them. Now they can stop looking over their shoulder all the time and do their thing. But I think when it comes to services for the indigent, public/private is often a good mix. The private charity is usually is a lot more disciplined with money than a purely public one would be, the labor force is generally available at much lower costs (no-one volunteers to work for government agencies for free!), and services for the poor don't have appeal to middle/upper class donors that something like NPR (where they get a lot of the direct benefit) does.
