re: Shriners Classic blacked out for Louisiana residents

I'll never understand how blacking out a game for people 300 miles away makes any sense at all.
MLB blackouts have nothing to do with people attending games. They blackout broadcasts on national networks for local teams to make people watch the team's local broadcast (i.e., the local fox sports station or YES network or Marquee network, etc). That doesn't really explain this stupidity since there doesn't seem to be another broadcast, but there's probably some language in the contract prohibiting national broadcasts of any event in minute maid park in the local broadcast area.

Because the games are on the AT&T Southwest in the Astros stadium. Since the Astros are putting on the event, apparently MLB broadcast rules come into play. That’s the issue. And the rules are in play to get you, the consumer, to pressure your TV provider to pick up their shitty network.

Are they blacking the games out in Texas since Austin is 2 hours away?
Probably.
Austin is in the blackout area of Astros and Rangers games on MLB TV.

Then the event needs to be moved to New Orleans or San Antonio

Quit being so fricking spoiled and lazy that you cry about having to go to YouTube or other media site to watch LSU baseball

Nowhere in that tweet does it say it’s free. Just that it’s available elsewhere because of the blackout. It wasn’t until DRcoks thread that someone linked a release that used the word “free.” That’s where the confusion was for me.

So we can't watch great college baseball because of the MLB's drama? What a fricking joke.

Has nothing to do with the CBA

If you live in the US you can watch great college baseball. You just can't watch it on the MLB Network.

Those old Winn Dixie Showdowns in the Dome were fun. It would be nice to have them back.
