MLB doesn't allow stations to stream the game broadcasts. You have to pay MLB for internet access to the game play by play. All the affiliates are supposed to block the game play by play on their websites. So if you want to listen to 610, you have to be in KC and get the over the air radio signal.

Haven't seen or heard any of the game, just checking play by play. Frustrating part isn't that Sale is shutting us down. It's that he's still in the game in the 8th inning. The really good teams still win these games against aces because they get them out in the 6th due to pitch count.

If Butler were at first base and no one was ahead of him, then I'd be fine with subbing in Dyson. However, with Escobar at third, we're already assured of a run if someone gets a hit, we didn't need the extra 90 feet.

What's frustrating (yet expected) is seeing Leatherhead Ned make the same mistakes he has for his whole career. I just can't get past my fear that his bullheadedness is going to limit this team no matter how talented it may be.
