MLB makes it so hard to watch games. There might be two games on MLB Network. The Astros game is blacked out, but I can get the Reds vs. Kansas City for some reason.

And ESPN only plays Yankees and Dodger games.

In my older age I like putting on the game and just relaxing. But MLB makes it hard to do that.

I have MLB.TV but other than opening that app on Roku, I rarely hear about MLB. The sport needs to promote itself better.

Just pay $60 for MLB. Worth it!

The MLB network is affordable and offers games every day except around the all-star break.

They really, really need to get back on YouTube TV.

I pretty much don’t like any professional sports anymore. Love LSU football and baseball. That’s how I get my sport fix.

What possible difference does it make if the Brewers beat the Padres 5-3 on a random night in June? Hurry up college football.

The Blue Jays are on tv this afternoon. It's their traditional Canada Day game. Now all we need is to get Montreal a team again.

I watch it nearly every night. FS1, Fox, TBS and ESPN are showing games this year. I paid $100. to stream all of the Ranger games too.


Sat. I watched the Rangers on FS1 and the Astros on Fox.

Sun. I watched Seattle @ Texas in the afternoon and Minnesota @ Detroit that night, when Tarik Skubal pitched.

Last night I watched the Rangers play their 4th staight extra innings game and caught some of San Francisco @ Arizona on FS1 or TBS.

Tonight I'll watch the Orioles at the Rangers again. Jacob deGrom is pitching for Texas. Others will watch the game on TBS.

7:05 PM MLB: Baltimore @ Texas Victory+
7:05 PM MLB: Cleveland @ Chicago TBS

ETA:
The Gulf Coast Sports Network shows minor league games at leat once a week. Sometimes I watch them.

I have MLBtv and half the time I want to watch an Astros game, it's blacked out. I would have to stream it from theTVapp.

I try to catch all of Skenes' games.

I'll watch games of the guys I have bets on.

You can check ESPN every day to see who's showing what.
Three games today.

I'd love to but MLB makes it such a royal pain in the arse to do so.

I’d watch more if my team wasn’t blacked out in my area.

I have MLB TV to watch Padres games. I much prefer that over national broadcasts.

I have MLB TV and watch the Braves often. Not as much this year because they piss me off with their poor play.

I am an MLB.TV subscriber primarily for the Braves and as hard as it is I try to watch them every night.....at least until they begin to suck which is pretty much every night. I try to catch Skenes when he pitches and Crews for the Nationals when he is in the lineup which has been zero lately. Don't know if he is still hurt or just back in the minors

I really don't have that problem. I get the MLB package to watch the Cubs, who really are the only team I want to see, but I can watch anyone else but the Astros on that and I have Fubo so I can watch them through that streaming source.

I get others in some areas have issues, but I have none, I get to see pretty much what I want whenever I want, more so than say 20 years back when WGN started scaling back the number of Cubs games they showed and I could not see really any other games unless it was the game of the week on the network or ESPN Sunday night baseball.
