anyone else on mlb.tv not getting the score line at the top of the screen?

 

I have a toggle button option to turn it off and on in the area where you would expect the line score.

This may belong in rants, but I HATE MLB's blackout rules. I'm in Bloomington, IN and am blacked out from all Cubs games. I live at least 4.5 hours from Wrigley Field and get no games besides WGN or Fox national games. Bloomington is also considered the White Sox and the Reds local market. None of their games are televised here either.

 

I could use my parents address in Evansville, but that wouldn't work today as they're in the Reds and Cards local market. Now, every Cardinal game is on down here, so I understand that. No Reds games are on here.

 

I HATE the blackout rules, they make no sense. I can't just decide to go to a Cubs game, nor is MLB.tv taking viewers from actual TV, as no games are on here. UGH!!!!

 

That wouldn't work either. They use the zip code associated with your ISP to determine your market.

 

So just find a proxy server to mask your IP address.

 

Um, beam me up Scotty??

 

 

I have no idea how to do that.

 

google search it. it's actually pretty simple if you have steps to follow.

Why is every color analyst these days a loudmouth homer *cough*jeffbrantley*cough*?

Is he no longer working for ESPN, I take it? That's good news.

 

Better news is how Lilly is pitching thus far. Way to go Ted!

Hey, can anyone explain these blackout restrictions to me? I tried watching the game on mlb.tv and they said I couldn't b/c the game was blackedout. wtf? I live in memphis tn.

 

According to this, Memphis is Cardinal, Braves, and Reds market. Looks like you're SOL.

So that means I'll never get to use MLB.TV to watch Cub games?

 

Not if they're playing the Cards, Braves, or Reds.

 

The same thing happens to me with Astros and Rangers.

 

That is just insane. The Reds are not on here on any TV service. We have Fox Sports South and CSS. Fox Sports south shows Braves games. Right now the Braves and Phillies are on. CSS shows no MLB games.

 

I am going to swear

OK, thanks. I will likely be in Evansville the entire summer clerking, so it actually wouldn't be a lie for most of the season.

It appears that Fernando Vina has taken his spot on BBTN.

I think it's because the broadcast is in HD on Fox, so I believe the picture is cropped.

 

BTW... who is the [expletive] making my ears bleed with Thom Brennamen??

Who else heard Brantley badmouthing Lilly?

 

Comparing him to fat Glendon? Yeah, I was not happy. My volume has steadily decreased since the game has started...

 

 

Oh...and first post. So...hey
