Dunny Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 Anybody paying for this? I signed up finally, (Jays and Rangers all I care about) thought it would be primo, alas, it's fucking awful. Carpinello is err.. OK, but the other primary writer has no business writing about the NYR. It's incredibly disappointing. The latest breakdown of the Rangers D situation reads like it's for a person who just discovered what the Rangers were yesterday. Phil, how have you not been hired there?

Gravesy Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 I wouldn’t pay for it for Rangers coverage. It’s worth it for Pronman and LeBrun’s stuff and I enjoy a lot of their stuff on the NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Heaven Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 I enjoy it for the Miami Dolphins/KC Royals, and the national articles. As far as the Rangers, I only read Carp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The platform itself is great if you want solid coverage about other teams. It's just not good for the Rangers, because the guy they got to lead it is the poster boy for what a beat writer was in 1992. Also, what value would I have to them? I'm no one. LOL.

NYR2711 Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 It like paying for the news, weather or porn online. There is so much free stuff out there, why pay for it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Because what you are paying for is better than the free stuff. It's premium content. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Only a little. Shayna is good. Carp is not. Sent from my iPhone using Blueshirts Brotherhood mobile app powered by Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYR2711 Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Outside of the fluff pieces, you get the same info for free. Shayna is OK. I follow her on Twitter and she doesn’t have anything anyone else is saying. Anything breaking you can get off Twitter. Outside of the Rangers, I don’t need any other in depth coverage of any teams.

BrooksBurner Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Figured I would share this here: https://slickdeals.net/f/12858208-1-year-subscription-to-the-athletic-1-99-mo-23-88?src=SiteSearchV2Algo1 1.99/month special for the 1st year.

LeetchFan Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 I think the guy covering the Rangers does an OK job....he's not a MUST-READ like Larry Brooks but he's got some good insight. The analytics pieces are good. Carp's stuff is fantastic, as usual, and he interacts with his readers which was always his strength. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Future Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 ???? Carp is the guy in The Athletic that covers the Rangers. Yea - and Shayna Goldstein or whatever her name is. The Rangers coverage on The Athletic isn't nearly as good as it is for other teams across sports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
