Just curious, Dodgers and Angels not part of that regional restricted list for you?

Today, Oakland is playing a morning game. It is not on the A's normal tv channel - it's on the MLB Network, but they've blacked it out. Why? What is the point of not letting me watch the damn game?

Do they think by showing me the game, they're hurting ticket sales? Like I'm gonna drive 550 miles to go to the game.

They don't want people in/near Vegas seeing certain things. Period.

Vegas, Iowa, and Hawaii get screwed on the blackout policy. The RSN you get is the team that is supposed to be blacked out.

**Chi_archie** · 05-16-19, 07:05 PM

so silly

Yeah I know some people in Des Moines can't watch like 6 teams

Cubs
Sox
Brewers
Royals
Twins
Cardinals

that could be like 40% of the games on certain days

**krk1030** · 05-16-19, 07:16 PM

I hate it. I'm a Yankee fan and often watch the games on my phone at work and its fine when they are on the YES network as its on the fox sports app.

But once a week they play on a local channel that doesn't have an app. Yet it get blocked out on MLB.tv

**pavyracer** · 05-16-19, 07:22 PM

How many naps do you take if you watch 5 baseball games every day? Asking for a friend.

**JayLA** · 05-16-19, 07:49 PM

Theres an awesome programe you can download to see most of the feeds a certain russian book has. I haven't found a game not shown on this program. Maybe 5th league soccer or something like that isn't available lol... I thought it was shady at first but it hasn't done anything to my comp or phone

**Mr KLC** · 05-16-19, 07:54 PM

Braves and Reds are the blackout games in Nashville. Luckily they are both on Fox networks, and I can watch them on the Fox Go app.

**unde0087** · 05-17-19, 12:04 AM

My favorite is having the mlb extra innings package to watch Mets games yet the Mets broadcast is never available. I have to watch the games on the opposing teams network. The dumbest shit ever. Every other game on the board have both broadcasts damn near every night except the one team I am a fan of.

Can't make it up.

**darrell74** · 05-17-19, 12:26 AM

This is why I cut the cord.

Use Reddit.
Reddit is great for streaming sports

**darrell74** · 05-17-19, 12:31 AM

I've downloaded the Reddit app for about a month now, and it hasn't given me any problems

I literally watch sports whenever I'm on the road to wherever I have to go.

Doesn't that mean you live in the New York market and could just watch on SNY?

So why are Mets home broadcasts blacked out there? Anyway, if you absolutely must watch them, refer to post #18, no blackouts.

i can watch all the games just pisses me off i have to listen to the other teams announcers instead of the Mets crew quite often. i am sure by now dish network customer service is tired of me. anytime i get lit up i give them an ear full about it

This blows my mind. I'd be pissed off beyond belief.

One good thing living in Detroit.... Tigers suck... Red Wings suck... Pistons suck... please black them all out. I won't pay that ridiculous Fox Sports Region fee of $7.00 a month for that garbage.

**slambam** · 05-17-19, 02:20 PM

Lol try being from Iowa. No team within 3 hours where I live (5 hours in some places) yet Royals, Cards, Cubs, White Sox, Brewers and Twins all blacked out.

**blackbart** · 05-17-19, 02:58 PM

its supposed to protect the regional sports networks who pay big $ for the rights
the nats and o's blacked out here, 6 hrs away and neither have ever been broadcast locally
its a great plan if your objective is to kill baseball

I believe there are about six teams that are blacked out in Vegas; I use vipbox on the few occasions that I need it.
