Jolo posted:I've got an MLBTV sub but the wildcard game tonight is on ESPN so it'll be blacked out there. Can a VPN in a non-espn broadcast area allow me to watch the game on MLBTV or am I outta luck? You would have to get the postseason package and then also use a VPN. Yes, it's incredibly stupid. e: honestly if you really want to watch the playoffs and don't wanna dick around with VPNs too much, just get YouTube TV for a month. They've got a free trial for a week or two, then it'd be $65 and the base package includes all the channels you'll need camoseven fucked around with this message at 15:52 on Oct 5, 2021 |

Jolo posted:Pffffttttttfffffffttttttttt Yea, see my edit for another (more expensive) solution. I hope MLB is looking at these stupid streaming and blackout restrictions, but I think the last thing I saw is that they massively hosed up the last contract round cause they didn't expect streaming to take off. At least the NFL is trying to fix their streaming issues this off-season (though I'm quite certain the resulting package will be in the several hundred dollar range)

Slimy Hog posted:So if you don't have cable, you HAVE to pay for cable (or I guess youtube tv?) on top of paying for MLB's "postseason" package? Does MLB know how much eaiser it is to google "mlb streams" than deal with that bullshit? No it's one or the other: postseason plan + VPN or just get YouTube TV (or  )

MerklesBoner posted:Wait, so are you saying that if I’ve had an active subscription all season, I have to buy the postseason package as a separate thing to watch the playoffs? Because I would expect they’re selling that as a prorated subscription for people who haven’t bought in yet this year, which has always been the case in the past. Oh looking at it again, I think you're right. It's been quite a while since I tried watching the postseason on MLB.tv, and they charged me extra. But it looks like if you use an international VPN with an existing MLB.tv sub you might be ok now

Dinosaurs! posted:I got home with a newborn on Tuesday and had given up on being able to watch the game. Found a moment to pull it up on my phone while helping the little guy back to sleep, right as Taylor came up to bat. 1) congrats!!! 2) phone streaming west coast and aussie sports all night while my baby slept on my lap is maybe the only thing that kept me sane during the fourth trimester

LeeMajors posted:Having watched ~12hrs of maddeningly halting CFB yesterday with them reviewing like every single play, I’ll take the mistakes as a matter of course just to keep the game watchable. I went to a college field hockey game yesterday and they have video review in that, too! It's a scourge!!!

Dog Faced JoJo posted:I like video review, but it should either a) be an immediate decision to challenge (like in tennis) or b) an actual penalty for requesting it and losing. I really don't like how on every close play the broadcast goes to the manager holding his hand up in a "wait a second" position while someone in a TV booth somewhere watches every replay. Yea tennis (and cricket usually) does an OK job at it, it's pretty quick and the decisions they're looking at can be figured out by looking at physics instead of a million camera angles that turn into just another judgment call

Bird in a Blender posted:I’m not complaining because I’m not playing the game, but it seems a little ridiculous for MLB to have a playoff game start at 11 EST. Regular season games usually don’t start that early, but it’s fine for the playoffs I guess. The games don't start til 1pm eastern today

I saw the replay just now and from the way people are moaning about it I expected it to be a much more clear cut bad call. That's easily a 50/50 call and if it didn't happen when it did no one would be talking about it (also if he called it the other way and the Giants walked off then people would still be mad)

Anyway I hope the Braves win cause they're extremely racist and it would be funny to see the articles about why Cleveland and the WFT had to change but Atlanta doesn't for some reason

If the Dodgers wanted home field advantage they should have beaten the Giants more often and won their division. It's not complicated!

Craptacular! posted:Considering I've read hot takes from people who think the umpires are unfair to the Braves as a punishment for Georgia's voter suppression, I'm pretty much Atlanta/Houston now because it means either result causes a bunch of overreactions from somebody. A Houston win will aggravate the church of baseball, while an Atlanta win will be held up as proof of triumph over some vaguely defined conspiracy by the sorts of people who thought the election was stolen. I like this and am on board
