It's also airing on CSN though and Extra Innings has been carrying each game so far thus week and they don't have this one listed.

WTH Extra Innings?

 

On Saturdays, EI only shows games after six pm ET. It's because of backout restrictions.

Slightly OT, so please forgive me...

 

Has anyone else had a problem getting blacked out of games they're not supposed to get blacked out of with direct tv? I had lots of problems with Bulls games early in the season. Today on Comcast Sports Net, I got the message that the Cubs Astros game was blacked out. I live in Georgia, my billing address on file with them is a Georgia Zip Code. My phone number is a Colorado number. I have absolutely no ties to any Illinois or Texas zip codes or anything else. Am I wrong in assuming that I shouldn't be getting blacked out of anything except for maybe when they are playing the Braves?

The Cubs game would have been blacked out for everyone on EI today because all games before 6 pm are blacked out on Saturdays.

Thanks for the answer. Is it just me, or are blackout rules just getting dumber and dumber?

EI has had the Saturday blackout rule since its inception. Actually they seem to be relaxed some this year. In year's past, I was blacked out of all Astros or Rangers games that weren't on Fox Sports SW. This year, I can't watch the other team's broadcast, but I can see the home broadcast of those games.
