February 2, 20232 yr Mookie Betts is attempting to qualify for PBA's US Open. Apparently tied with the #1 bowler in the world. Dude has bowling skeelz.
February 2, 20232 yr Hes only ahead of like 6 guys. He is like in 102nd out of 108 After Day 1 he was in 61st tied with Belmonte. They are on Day 3 now
February 2, 20232 yr On 2/1/2023 at 1:45 PM, tx 3 putt said: he’s at 192 ! If he would admit his real height he'd already be way ahead.
February 3, 20232 yr MLB has an entire corporate division devoted to making it as difficult as possible for fans to watch their teams on tv. Edited February 3, 20232 yr by kevwun

Yeah I know, but I also read talk about the TNT TBS TRU coming back soon potentially so maybe that will happen before then. I typically go to every home playoff game anyway and then will either go out or go to a friends to watch the away games.

February 3, 20232 yr Thanks to the Balkanization of TV, you have to be signed up for 2 different tv providers and 17 different streaming services to get everything you want now.
February 3, 20232 yr That is one stupid, annoying motherfucker. "Service time" is "the amount of time you have served"? Who knew?

I get all regional sports channels (Bally, ATTSN, etc), MLBN, TBS, all ESPNs, plus I get LHN when I log in through the ESPN app. It’s not cheap, but $85/mo isn’t that much more expensive than the others and it’s way less than I paid for satellite.

February 4, 20232 yr 3 hours ago, WBT said: Y'all seem poor No, and the most maddening thing about the blackouts situation (and I'm talking across all sports here) is that there are frequently games that I would happily pay to watch, but I'm not allowed to. So I instead end up watching free illegal streams.

February 4, 20232 yr 2 hours ago, tx 3 putt said: just charge $25 / month, year round for all content. I would gladly pay They would take a major bath at that pricing premium. They get roughly $7 a month for rsn’s and mlb channel. Roughy 7% of the subscriber base ever watches those channels. That means the other 93% are subsidizing your watching Astros, Rockets and MLB for example. If MLB/RSN went to stand alone pricing they’d lose the ability to be able to charge all their subscribers for those channels on basic package. essentially, there are way more non sports fans than sports fans and as sports fans we get a huge subsidy from the rest of the world for our channels.
February 4, 20232 yr Him and Bo Jackson, only two retired mlb guys I want to meet / get a pic with / get an autographed baseball kirby Puckett is the third, but RiP

Yeah this. MLB makes huge money from RSNs. If you want to watch your local team, subscribe to a carrier with the RSN. If not, you're either poor or like to whine on the internet more than you like watching your team.

There are very few Astros fans in the Panhandle, yet we are considered local. 600 fucking miles from Houston. People in Natchez, Mississippi are not considered local for Astros broadcasts, but I am, and they are 300 miles closer to H-town, and it's not due to availability of broadcasts, but extremely arbitrary boundaries such as state lines. Multiple people in this thread have made it sound like it is a function of money/ spending/ frugality. The fact that it is exactly none of those is part of what makes it so stupid/ frustrating. I am absolutely willing to pay for MLB.cm streaming or whatever. I still cannot( legally) watch Astros games because of their idiotic model. Edited February 6, 20232 yr by slorch
February 6, 20232 yr Incorrect. My carrier carries the Rangers, but not the Astros. he said choose a carrier that does offer ATT sports net. (maybe that’s not possible in lubbock, i have no idea)

Yeah we weren’t referring to you but rather to the people who said a La carte. They have to change the blackout rules. It’s absurd. 100 miles-tops.

We get the Rangers. If they were to add a second coverage, it would most likely be the Rockies. I don’t have a problem with any of that. I have a problem with not having access to my team.

I'm in Tulsa and I get RSNs for Astros, Rangers, Cardinals, and Royals because I'm "local" for all of them even though none are closer than a 4 hr drive (7hrs for Houston and StL).
