They're meant to be a lot less formal than other threads on the forum, so to moderate them the same way would be silly. However, we do ask posters to maintain a certain level of decorum in these threads, and we plan on moderating the Gameday threads a little more actively this season. In particular, we ask that posters refrain from being overly repetitive with their posts (if you've made your point, let it go), refrain from monopolizing the discussion (if you are making more than a couple posts in a row, you probably need to slow down a little bit), and of course, follow the Ground Rules ( link). The point is to make these threads worth participating in and fun for all posters, from our long-time fixtures to people just signing up today. -The Management

Oh My !! When is the last time a Sox/Yankees Sunday game was not played in prime time !! The appeal is waning I guess 😟

As great as it is to play the Yankees as they death spiral, it feels unlucky (if that is possible) to get Cole and Schmidt, who are about their last competent pitchers.

Oh, to have these games mean so much again... Times - and teams - have certainly changed!

Oh, to have these games mean so much again... Times - and teams - have certainly changed! Yep. The rivalry is essentially toothless now. It’s very sad. Nothing feels personal anymore. Even with just our Sox, between the ads on the jerseys, cartoonish city edition uniforms, softball alternate jerseys, and general corporate feel around the stadium area, I don’t even recognize the Olde Towne Team a lot of the time.

I am forever irked by the draconian blackout rules around mlb.tv games. Seems to me, if you pay to watch your team, it shouldn't matter who the broadcaster is or the market they are playing in. I have no problem suffering local advertising, but to not be able to watch the game unless I watch on my iphone or other smaller device annoys me to no end. Granted, it's probably saving me some indigestion the way things have been this past few days but I still find it annoying.

Not everyone has a smart TV. Could watch the game on the computer, I suppose.

I have a Roku tv, and Apple TV is not available on it regrettably. I think the newer Roku tv's do have access to Apple TV, but I'm not going to buy a new 60inch TV for the hell of it.

Strange they can’t put out an update to older Roku TV’s that allow access to apple tv. I do know that is is accessible now from what I have seen.

As a lifelong Sox fan, I’m always rooting for the Sox AND whomever the Yankees are playing. And while it hasn’t been a great year for the Sox, it HAS been a great year for rooting against the Yankees.
I never thought the Sox were going to be very good this season. I figured they were a .500 team, or so(and they might still be), but I figured the Yankees were going to be a juggernaut. That’s how it looked on paper anyway.
At this point, I just want to see the Yankees finish in last place. If they are sub-.500, that’s even better. Let’s hope the Sox can heat up on them while they are down.

The branding between Apple TV and Apple TV+ is confusing, but Apple TV+ is a streaming service from Apple. Apple TV is a device that functions similar to a Roku/Firestick/Chromecast/etc, and is compatible with any TV with an HDMI port. You don't need the Apple TV to watch Apple TV+, just download the Apple TV+ app and sign up for an account. I don't have a Roku, but a google search said you can download Apple TV+.
FWIW Apple TV+ has some quality content and is about $7 a month with regular free trial opportunities if you just want to watch the odd Sox game. A new Apple TV is about $150, but it's easy to find cheap ones pre-owned online, and if you have a MacBook/iPod/iPhone/Apple Music it's worth it imo.
Totally get if people don't want to pay for new equipment or streaming services, or waste time figuring out how to do it. Personally I prefer the camera and sound on Apple TV+ to the NESN broadcast, ignoring the announcers on each side.

That Reyes/Urias combo is so much better than what we’ve been running out there all year

i am either slipping or my interest in the squad is underwhelming because i didnt even know we were playing the MFY's.
That has never happened before. Wonder if Henry et al. would consider that important customer feedback.
On apple TV, i think i can have a free trial, not sure i am going to go with it.

Ha and the knock on Casas as he rose through the farm was why isn't he hitting more HRs? Always seemed to me looking at that big hoss that he was gonna hit plenty of HRs. He smartly was working on other hitting abilities.

OK. I got the con. I can firmly state that watching sports was easier 40, 30, 20, 10, even 5 years ago. They got us by the balls now.
Great start !
