Today's game not on MLB EI???

[Schwarber Fan]

The Cubs game isn't listed on the schedule nor is it on the online schedule...

 

However, it has the White Sox/Indians game scheduled for 12:00 CT, when they actually play at 6:00 CT... so is this a typo meaning the Cubs game is gonna be in the 12:00 slot???

I don't think you'll get the game on MLB EI or MLB.tv today because of Fox's stupid Saturday national blackout. Fox is showing a game at 3:30 ET, so I'm pretty sure all games are blacked out until like 6pm ET. So if you don't live in the Chicago area or don't get CSN, you're not going to be able to watch today.

well, i didn't realize this. this makes my decision for what I'm watching at noon easier.

 

Go Senators!

Why must MLB decide what's good for fans by forcing them to only watch their local teams every Saturday?

 

The notion that it "protects" the local team from losing customers in their territory is a fallacy up there with the Cubs losing an extra home game in the 1984 playoffs. Blackouts have never been proven to maintain the same number of local fans, let alone increase the fan base. And guess what...they never will!!!!

...and of course the white sox are on...

 

whatever

Up yours, MLB. I want to watch Hill pitch, and I'm paying good money for the right to do just that.

MLB.TV's got it

 

What what?

Why don't we all just boycott Fox on Saturdays?

I'm not sure about MLB EI but if you want to know if MLB.TV is going to show the Saturday games, go to cubs.com, look at the schedule, and if it says 'FOX' as the network, you're screwed. But if it says WGN (like last week) or CSN (like today) then you can watch on MLB.TV.
