MLB 2022: Playing Ball, But Is Anyone Still Watching?

Opening day on a Thursday instead of Monday is wrong. Now get off my lawn while I put an onion on my belt.

- Judge. 1st HR of the year.
- Acuna Jr. had 1st hit of the season as far as I can tell.

Verlander to the IL with a muscle strain.

Really rubbing it in to the Giants, huh?

MLB and their asinine blackout rules strike again.
I am blacked out from two games. There are five games currently live:

ATL@WAS
SF@NYY
BAL@BOS
MKE@CHC
DET@TB

Heres my info:

i currently am in the suburbs of Chicago. Per MLB's blackout rules, I am in the CHC home market.

For giggles, my phone's IP address currently coming from Verizon of NYC. Per the blackout rules, I could be considered home market for NYY.

Baltimore at Boston is their un-blacked out (unless in-Market) free game of the day.

What two games am I blacked out from?



If you guessed I'm blacked out of the BAL@BOS and ATL@WAS games, you're correct! I have no problem watching the Marquee feed of the Cubs game right down the street, in-market.

Make it make sense MLB!!!

First game of the pitch clock era goes 2:30. Not bad.

 

[Spartanforlife4]

Tampa-Detroit goes 2:14

 

[aparch]

Tampa-Detroit goes 2:14

Cubs/Brewers was around 2:25 by my clock.

 

[Kepler]

Phillies just gave up 9 in one inning.

 

[JF_Gophers]

Twins doing a lot right, but struggling to score. Up 2-0. Left 11 on base however.

 

[Spartanforlife4]

Ohtani went 6 innings, 10K, 3BB, 0R.

It was the 26th time an Opening Day starter had ten strikeouts and no runs allowed. Previously those teams were 25-0. They’re now 25-1.

So the Angels still suck with all that talent.

Ohtani should have played better and hit 3 solo HRs!

It’s too bad he probably wouldn’t like the negative connotation of the meme because Tungsten Arm Ohtani would be a sweet nickname.

Based on what I’ve seen you weren’t alone yesterday. You’re in Chicago and it thinks you’re in DC, someone else said they were in Texas but blacked out of the Bay Area team games, and a third I saw was in Indiana but had LA blacked out.

Everyone knows Indiana is the LA of the midwest.

Fun fact: If you type “Tungsten Arm O’Doyle” into baseball reference it will take you to Ohtani’s page.

This is correct

 

[Kepler]

Why is Opening Day not on a Saturday?
