SkyBlue Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 1 hour ago, Motor City Sonics said: Can I watch my local team on MLB TV? Is that due to the Bally Sports issue in regards to the Tigers and other teams utilizing them where they went under? So were the games blacked out when Bally carried the Tigers, ie the business model you reference? Is it an MLB issue or Tiger's issue or a regional sports network going under and will be resolved when they finalize with Amazon? I can watch the local team in my market. So, I doubt it is the business model, and until they resolve it, bootleg it, it is an option available to watch the team you want to watch. If you don't want to do that, more power to you.

Sports_Freak Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 2 minutes ago, Motor City Sonics said: That's the thing. They can't repeat the last 3 years. Even if they had a tough schedule 9-24, 9-23, 2-9. Can't do that anymore. Then I start to question whether Hinch is the right guy. Can't be out of it by May 15th again. Just can't. Winning a bunch when there is nothing to play for is just empty calories. Our record against the AL East last season cost us any chance of competing. It was very dismal. Our record against the Central gives us hope for a better season this year. The only thing that can hurt us is more injuries. Greene needs to stay healthy all season. And our SP depth may allow a couple of injuries but not our entire staff, along with Toledo's staff, like the last couple (few) years. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckily I can get Bally Det on Directv stream I live in metro Detroit and cutting the cord on cable meant buying the Bally subscription for the Wings, Pistons and Tigers. The user interface is really horrible, hurry up Amazon!! On a side note, Thank You for your work on the Tiger GDTs. Just to let you know, it's appreciated! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Opening on the road, in the late afternoon, takes a bit of excitement out of it. But I'm still hyped up to watch the Tigets win some winnable early season games! Let's GO!!

RandyMarsh Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 If the Tigers win they are winning the division, if they lose they are finishing in last place so needless to say this is a MUST WIN! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Protecting the regional cable monopolies. I understand, guess I have always subscribed to the local sports option via the regional option from whatever service I have so never viewed it as blackout rules. 162 games for no additional costs seems unrealistic whether it is from Comcast, Bally or whoever. I was surprised that the one team cost via mlb.tv was $129 while full pkg is $149. Has there ever been a breakdown on how much goes to the teams from MLB.tv?

The grill is ready for use. I found some Zywiec beer the other day whilst looking for Bell’s Oberon Eclipse (which is probably gone by now). So, I think dinner for tonight is set. I could cheat and cut the brats up into 9 pieces and portion out the 16oz cans into the little kid size cups that we still have around for some reason. Maybe if I were watching the 10 minute condensed game recap on MLB it would suffice? I miss beer. The last few times I even drank a couple, I got really sick to my stomach. I miss beer. 😆😆 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
