HERE WE GO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you, Lord, for having someone invent VPN, and for giving me the ability to figure out how to hook it up to my ASUS router even though they changed the interface, so I can watch an otherwise blacked-out telecast from Detroit.

I understand, guess I have always subscribed to the local sports option via the regional option from whatever service I have so never viewed it as blackout rules.  162 games for no additional costs seems unrealistic whether it is from Comcast, Bally or whoever.

I was surprised that the one team cost via mlb.tv was $129 while full pkg is $149.  Has there ever been a breakdown on how much goes to the teams from MLB.tv?

Don't know about the split between the leagues and teams. The blackout has been in place for as long as I remember.

Personally on the plus side, TMobile has had a deal with MLBfor the past few years. It won't help you in Michigan with the Tigers, but there's free baseball here in the Old Dominion unless you want the Nats or Os

and the only cost of that is C-Nooooooo

The Bally app is VERY VERY choppy for me. 

[CMRivdogs]

C-Mo needs to get out of broadcaster mode and relax...

Ugly start, guy like this we should hit 2nd time through.  Let's go Tarik.

[Motor City Sonics]

I'm getting AT&T Fiber installed on Sunday.   Does anyone have that?  Is it really a lot faster? 

[Motor City Sonics]

Are the names on the back of the Baseball Tops smaller this year? 

[SoCalTiger]

Tork's ball

[Motor City Sonics]

Hitting a Tarik Skubal pitch off the end of the bat in 47 degree weather can't feel too good.

I've had it down here in FL for 12-13 years.  Fastest available and very dependable.

Miggy woulda had it.

[Motor City Sonics]

They didn't hit it hard, that's for sure.  

 

[Tigermojo]

Very weak contact in the first.

Cool.  Maybe that will relieve some of the choppiness on the Bally App.      What I have now is fast enough for my needs but they are giving me Fiber at the same price, so yeah.     I actually did a bunch of radio commercials for Fiber in Grand Rapids, but couldn't get it in Dearborn until now.     I would love if they'd give me those ads again,  nice extra money. 

[JoeMac]

Anybody surprised Canha is cleaning up?

That’s ok at some point I will switch over to Dan

[Motor City Sonics]

I like Matt Vierling.   I would love to see him break out a bit. 

[Motor City Sonics]

And now my video and audio is not are not in synch.   COME ON BALLY'S.   You're gonna charge me money for this garbage?

Yes. I don’t like it.  Reminds me of the red wings preseason jerseys.  

[Sports_Freak]

So...Colt Keith is a bust...

[JoeMac]

Ah, Rogers just missed it.

[chasfh]

Man I hate hate hate those tiny letters on the back of the jerseys. Cheap.
