I don't have ESPN+ and YouTube TV has only recorded two previous LSU games (Skenes win vs UK 16-6) and (Floyd win vs Tenn 6-4). And YT didn't even record last night's game because some unheard-of-sport Teq One table soccer was the originally listed in the scheduled time slot so it required a manual recording & I was at my BIL's house.

Skene's was effortlessly dominant. It's a shame I (& most of the nation) have missed about 160+ strikeouts by Skenes this year. There's no excuse for LSU baseball (or college baseball, for that matter) to be regulated to sub-priority broadcasting behind niche sports like poker, ping-pong & Teq One table soccer, etc. that consistently get steady scheduled time slots on espn's old cable channels.

You don’t need ESPN+ to watch games on SECN+… your YT TV subscription gives you that access

I'd pay the 9.99 or find someone with a Verizon bundle. Well worth it for baseball season.

My point is I shouldn't have to go to their laptop/Roku streams.

LSU & NCAA baseball should be regularly scheduled on espn, espn2, espnU, espnnews, SECN, etc. Ping pong & table soccer should only be accessible by the Plus channels. It makes no fricking sense that the nation only got to see Skenes twice on espn's non-plus channels.

While I wish it would be like that, college baseball is still not that popular across the country. It’s southeast and west coast with it being more southeast these days due to SEC dominance.

I have a top-of-line OLED Smart TV. Even it doesn't have an SECN+ app. I still have to open Roku or a laptop to watch the game. Whereas, I can open my built-in YTtv app and watch all the fricking badminton & bowling tournaments I want. It's outrageous.

Imagine complaining about the thing that now allows me to see all those games I use to have to listen to on the radio.

This is what entitlement mentality looks like.

Damn…OP missed Skenes all season because he didn’t know how to work technology. That’s rough

Skenes games are boring.. no non-LSU fan wants to watch that

Badminton is more exciting than watching Skenes effortlessly plow thru 9 innings

Why don’t you simply just go to the ESPN app (all sec+ games are on the ESPN app) and find the lsu game and watch it that way. Pretty simple.

Damn right. This is the 21st Century where even fans of table soccer get to see their sport broadcast on main channels, yet somehow NCAA bseball is regulated to pirated YT streams or add-on Roku/Firestick devices.

Sounds like a “you” problem, not staying current with modern solutions to complex problems.

How’s 1993 v.30 working out for you, Mr. Technology?

Man up or get left behind.

Honestly as long as i can stream the games, i couldnt care less if the games are on live tv. I understand ESPN wants to appeal to as many people as possible
