What are /r/KCRoyals' favorite Products & Services?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

This guy's relatively cheap and would issue fewer walks

You can use that .gif after the game as well.

Count it down, boys.

I'm no Patrick Mahomes, but when the Chiefs were down 24-0 I did a livestream about the Anime Awards and the entire comeback happened during it. Coincidence??? Vote Chika for Best Girl and Best Ending.

Also, let's see how many Jebaited reports this gets.

So for my birthday I got the History of the Kansas City Royals issued by The New York Times. Stoked to read it when i get home.

So in case anyone hasn't seen this yet on /r/android, Pocket Mortys is now a thing. In case you needed help wasting more time at work while it's still the offseason.

I honestly think you can learn a lot about this team through Salvador Perez's instagram as weird as that sounds. Definitely check out the videos of him harassing LoCain.

It shows how Salvy is just a big kid and how the team (at least last year) was just enjoying every minute of the ride to the World Series.

Welcome to Royals' fandom!!

EDIT: There are links there, but they're showing up in grey for some reason (at least for me)

What I might encourage is that if you have the Reddit Enhancement Suite you can set a filter which could block all post titles that contain the expression "OUR TEAM LOST:" and/or "OUR TEAM WON:". That seems like a good work around, yes?

Don't have the source right now, but I read that 9/10 native Americans don't find the Washington Redskins name offensive

Roku 3 had a headphone jack on the remote, plus voice search. Comparison.

I picked up the 3 last month. I do use the headphone feature, since I'm using a monitor as a screen and the audio on it is pretty awful. But if you don't need it, might be better to just get the 2.

Ya know, one can find a Mantis mask on Amazon... and with the right shipping speed, it's quite possible to have one as quickly as they did.

Looks like it should be alright

Still in early access, so rough graphics, but that's not the important part of the game. It's a topdown view like an RTS, but it's not quite an RTS. You crashland on a planet with only a few scraps of iron. You use the iron to make a pickaxe, then you use the pickaxe to mine stone, then you use the stone to make a furnace, then you use the furnace to smelt iron ore you mined with your pickaxe, then before you know it, it's 30 hours later and it's Monday morning and you have to go to work. But you've built a factory that can launch a rocket in to space.

There's a free demo you can download from their website if you're interested.

I use NordVPN, and never feel like I have any problems with it. I got it like 3 years ago for $36 for a 3 year contract, but it looks like you can get it for 6 months for $48 right now, or 1 year for 60, neither of those need coupon codes.

I haven't found any current codes that would get you better than that, so i recommend Googling around. But you can also get cash back for purchasing vpns through places like Retailmenot too!

Dude. It's amazing. You can watch the pilot on Amazon fo' free (edit: HERE), and they did a really great job with the adaptation.

Also, you should read the book. It's great.

I just finished reading the book, "The Only Rule Is It Has to Work" (Amazon). It's about two baseball writers who get the chance to help run an independent-league baseball team for a summer. It was an interesting read, but was ultimately a little bit of a let down. Of course, the authors couldn't put half of their stat-based ideas into play. They were not the managers- they were basically advisers. They had to get buy-in from the actual manager and the players to implement ideas. Sometimes they worked, and sometimes they were left frustrated when their suggestions were ignored. If you're a fan of baseball, it's worth a read.

MLB is removing the streaming blackout restriction for streaming, but I think they are just shifting the rights to the individual teams, doesn’t mean it will be easier for cord cutters. I saw a great thread on it in r/baseball last month, I’ll see if I can find it.

I’ll second using a VPN service (like Hola, Private Internet Access, or a myriad of other services) with to get around the restrictions. Been doing that for the past few years, no complaints.

Unlocator was my go to all season last year. From an email I got from them this week: > Use the coupon code HOMERUN to get a 25% discount on the 12 and 6-month packages when subscribing to Unlocator.

Edit: Free trial is available too

Go to MLBTV and do the enter you zip code thing, it will tell you which teams will be blacked out in your area. If any of the blacked out teams play the World Champion Royals, both home and away games will be black out against them. If that's the case, get a VPN;

For dependable service, you should get a paid VPN. I used to use Unblock us (5$/mo.), I now use PIA (Private Internet Access, I got it for 2/yrs @ 45$). They both work well. I would use PIA even if it cost more, because I can use it for everything. Read up on what they both do.

If you would like to try PIA when you get MLBTV, pm me and I'll let you use mine. Unblockus has a free trial, while I think PIA has a week refund deal. Again, check out what they both do. There are also tons of other VPNs', these are the ones I can vouch for.

Are you actually in Germany or using a proxy of some sort?

I don't have cable so i'm using Unlocator and my parents cable login to stream on my PS4 app.

But at least I can watch the games and avoid $75+/mo subscription.

It can be annoying sometimes... stream will just pause randomly (buffering? loss of connection) or will drop to terrible quality randomly.

Yeah, it does. Surprised the shit outta me! I learned it here (Reddit). I also use NFL (I subscribe from a different country to get live NFL, from somewhere like Romania) and NHL, and you can't share them (whoever signs in boots anyone else off).

Anyway, it's me and one other guy and you. We tested it. I used two computers (home and office, different IP's), and he used XBox. So pro-rated (I go monthly) you would owe me $6.50 for this month.

If for some reason it didn't work, I would give you your money back. I'm not here to rip anyone, just trying to share with my KC buddies and save a few $.

If you are in the KC area (i.e. blacked out) you will need to use some kind of VPN. I use UnblockUS https://portal.unblock-us.com/. It's $5 a month (use the one week free trial), but no hassles. I have also used Hola https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.hola&hl=en , it's free. Last time I used it I signed in from Finland to get MLB/TV.

Gotchu fam!

Comes in a surprisingly well-adorned/fancy cardboard box and the ingredients on the wrappers are in french, which is kinda neat! The middle 3 are my faves but all were great. Crunchies feature a honeycomb toffee/'sponge toffee' covered in amazing REAL cadburys chocolate (Hershey's has gotten so artificial and plasticy IMO). Similarly, a "Crunchie" is a A chunky, gold bar of delicious honeycomb, smothered in thick Cadbury milk chocolate that shatters into mouth-watering crunchy pieces.

I was so nerding out over trying each I did some googling. They're very common in Canada and foreign countries but not so much in the states.

Potentially it was a domestic war with the likes of MARS/Hersheys company in the U.S. and most of these bars left the U.S. in the early-to-mid 90's but are still produced and enjoyed today elsewhere!

Fun fact: Shaq was actually an endorsement for the Mr. Big bar in the U.S. (for obvious reasons) and due to well established companies already existing in America (think of established 'Coke' like names) they abandoned USA.

Yeah I do this. I got MLB TV for free from T-Mobile and I have ExpressVPN because, well, VPNs are pretty good to have in general (also i "acquire (in a very legal manner)" large amounts of anime from the internet). You don't have to set your VPN to Germany specifically to get Royals games, just anywhere not in KC.

ExpressVPN is what I have used. It works good enough on my phone/ipad and firestick. Sometimes I get notified by my ESPN app or MLB app about a score before it happens while i'm watching so there is definitely a lag, but to be expected when streaming I guess.

Thanks! I got it from Amazon

I use Hideman to get aroudn the blackout on MLB.tv and watch the games on my computer, or hook my laptop up to my TV. It's $15 for 60 days, but it's worked well so far.

MLB.tv on the other hand... ugh.

I just started this: https://www.amazon.com/Pine-Tar-Game-Entertaining-Controversy/dp/1476777179

Some KC Negro League related: There's a recent Cool Papa Bell biography that's great.

Also https://www.amazon.com/Our-Team-Satchel-Changed-Baseball/dp/1250313791 is pretty good.

If you do, this is the one I went with. Fairly cheap and works perfectly. Plus, since I hide the SSID, I have a network the kids don't have all their devices connected to. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B082YWFR32/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_glt_fabc_R4280D4FYQC01KBKYEKE?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

Have you tried any services like Unlocator? I use for games but I live in socal so it works great. However I get black outs during national televised games or when we play the Angels.

I've used Unlocator on my PS4, PC, and Amazon Fire for blacked out games before in the past. Perhaps it might be a solution for you?

Now that the season is over I can finally stop bitching about how annoying is, how Playstation Vue doesn't have Fox Sports Kansas City (and to an extent how expensive and crappy Comcast is) and how Unlocator is a pain in the ass.

There's a new documentary mini-series about the Dead coming out next week on Amazon Prime. It's supposed to be really good. I'm looking forward to it.

<em>cough</em>

Just make sure you cover up the holes with painter's tape.

You can get the DVD set for under $25.

Iirc, MTV had Undergrads, another underrated animated TV show.

Thanks for the suggestions guys! I think I'm going to try some pulled pork next. Have cooked pork chops, burgers, and ribs in it so far! All pretty tasty. Still working on the temperature issue. It generally runs about 30-40 degrees hotter than what it says so that hasn't helped for a beginner, but adjusting the temperature to account for that seems to work fine. And this is the one I got for the record. https://www.amazon.com/Masterbuilt-20072115-Bluetooth%C2%A0Smart-Digital-Electric/dp/B00TJ1OZR0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1467475427&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=masterbuilt+30+inch+bluetooth+smoker

current model

other option

This should work. Exhaust hose diameter is the only thing that is important, they won't really be brand specific. http://www.amazon.com/Plastic-Whynter-Portable-Conditioner-ARC-WK-12SP/dp/B0048ELAA8

Also, you can buy a piece of plexiglass, a 3-4" hole drill bit and some rubber or make a gasket shit and make it yourself cheap.

Here is our lovely attire for this year. Mine is red, hubby's is the green and Rally George will have scarf and antlers....

Actually, are you wanting to get into cooking? If so, I highly recommend I'm Just Here for the Food by Alton Brown. Awesome introduction to cooking and there's a whole bunch of awesome information on putting together a kitchen.
