Is there any reason why I should be blacked out from watching Israel vs Chinese Tai Pei? I live in Canada..

Apparently the international blackout rules are completely ridiculous and nonsensical.


drat. Anyone have a link to these rules? Has there been any change to regular season blackout rules? Will the Jays still be able to be watched from Canada? If not I just wasted a bunch of money on mlbtv! I guess I could get a vpn again but they're cracking down on that apparently

I meant just for the WBC, I don't think the regular season stuff is any different.

Okay, hope thats the case. The last few years I havn't needed a VPN so this worried me but I guess the WBC is a different beast altogether

Anyone else getting the blackout message even for archived games? Was just trying to watch US/PR from yesterday and it says I'm blacked out but an archived version will show up 90 mins after the game.

Was watching on the exercise bike at the gym and the closed captions kept saying dump every time an announcer said Dutch .

On Canada day I watched the 19 inning game with some of my friends who don't usually watch baseball, and although many beers were involved I don't think I've ever seen any of them have more fun watching a game. When Goins came in to pitch and got the double play to extend the game we all went insane. This rule is going to steal away many of the crazy uniquely baseball moments and I don't think its worth it if the goal is to attract more fans who arbitrarily decide that 11 innings is the cut off point. I dunno.
