The excitement when the closer comes in during the 9th inning is intense. It isn't thsame in MiLB as it is in MLB. !baseball -

Got an e-mail from the local MLB team telling me that I need to install the MLB app in order to redeem the tickets I paid for. Inside the app, there will be a QR code used for admission.
The only thing is:
* I intentionally have no Google account, so I cannot install their app.
* They did not make this process clear before I purchased the tickets. They surely had time to do so, given how many steps (and slow loading, RAM bloating steps at that) were required in the process.
* I can get to the QR code page with a web browser on my laptop, but the phone's current IPv4 address is blocked by mpv\.tickets\.com.
Despite my lifelong enjoyment of !baseball, it is not essential. I can skip attending games from here on out or I can attend minor league teams' games. I'm calling the team to see whether they have a way for me to see the game I paid to see, but I won't make a habit of begging to see overpaid drug-users doing something that the rest of us would gladly do for free. -

I bought tickets to a !baseball game. The process is unpleasant. If I wasn't already committed to go, I would not have gone through it.
1. Visit MLB.com on the (older) tablet and click on the team, then on tickets.
2. Oops! Their 3rd party processor does not like your #VPN. You're going to have to enter sensitive financial data across #hotel_Wi-Fi. I know that we're using HTTPS, so there's already encryption from me to mpv\.tickets\.com. Okay, I'll risk it.
3. Okay, pick a game that you want to buy tickets for. Wait up to 4 minutes for the #JavaScript to load and the page to stop jumping around. Now slide the price slider, so you can look at tickets at prices you are willing to pay. Wait for the JS again.
4. Now you're supposed to choose your seat by which section it is in, so you try to expand the map to see where each section is. The map seems unresponsive, but after 3-4 minutes, it will suddenly start moving. Okay click the back button and do it again.
5. Click 'buy now'. Wait 3-4 minutes and the 'create an mlb.com account' page opens. Account creation is followed by adding a credit card (or Google Pay) to your account.
6. You only had 9 minutes to complete the purchase before the tickets go back in the pool. Let's use the laptop instead. And the hotel log in page takes almost 15 minutes to go through tonight. (Once you get in, you've got 10Mbps up and the same amount down.)
7. Log in to mlb\.com, go back to the ticket buying site. This time, you're able to complete the purchase in a few minutes. Thanks to excessive #JabbaShit, the page is still twitchy. But you got it done anyway.
8. When you get to the field, you'll need to use the MLB app on your phone in order to present a bar code for entry. No Google account? You can't install the app. -

Tonight's #MLB #World_Series game: #Atlanta #Braves 7, #Houston #Astros 0; middle/9th. I'm pretty sure the Braves are going to win it all tonight.

I'm reading it as a 2-1 victory for the Dodgers. National League Championship Series (NLCS) will be Los Angeles against Atlanta.
This season, the #Dodgers won 106 games and the #Giants won 107, so either way, a team that won more regular season games than any recent World Series champion was going to be left out of the National League championship and the !mlb !baseball championship. -
