More Stupid MLB Blackout Rules

[nate]

The Brewers game today is not on local tv or local cable.  It is on MLB Network (blacked out in the Milwaukee area), mlb.tv (blacked out) and FSW (blacked out).

So it is impossible for me to watch the game.  What moron came up with this crap?

[ELEVEN]

Maybe you should just go to the game.. oh wait..

[Second Base]

It's yahoo's free game of the day. Go to yahoo sports and it'll come up on the game page.

This is what happens when two bad teams play each other.

When I visit family in North Carolina, I noticed that Fox Sports South blocks out the Braves games.  Makes zero sense.

Use a proxy server. http://hola.org/  is one that can make you look like you are somewhere else.

Well I couldn't watch either, but maybe that's a good thing. 0-4 when I watch...

nate, just go down to your local INO and watch on one of their many screens inside.

Wait. You live in Wisconsin and the game is not on tv anywhere?

Yes, that is what I was saying.  Radio only.

Apparently the Brewers TV deal is not for every single game like the Angels have.

And I am aware of the workarounds that people suggested.  The point is I pay $125 a month on DirecTV and another $90 to watch the Angels on MLB.tv and for stupid reasons I was being forced to not watch the game, or to use a frankly illegal method to watch the game.  I pay for their service so I don't have to do that.

[yk9001]

I am in 100% agreement with you.  You shouldn't need to do workarounds.

I live in Central WA, and I got blacked out from a NYY/A's game.

People in other parts of the country were not so lucky.

The laugh is the Brewers were Selig's team and he set up a system that ****s his own fanbase. This Bud is for you, Nate.

It was a 12 40 start on a Wednesday.  The true capitalists probably didn't see much ROI for televising a game for welfare bums, housewives, and whatever remaining members of the Avery clan that aren't doing hard time.

And yet you could get the game in Compton. Think about that Nate, your entire state didn't rate the status of the city of Compton.

It's why In N Out isn't expanding to Wisconsin.

If you're paying out that much money, it seems that you should know the rules.

Wisconsin : can't get Angels game 

 

Compton : can't get dodger games.

 

Edge : Compton

I have nothing further to add about the singular ignorance of MLB's blackout rules. I'm about talked out about it.
