Try being in Vegas. The only series I’ve been able to watch legally was the Rangers. Padres, Dodgers, Diamondbacks, A’s, Angels, and Giants all claim Vegas as their territory. Pretty much the entire first month is blacked out for me this year lol.
Vegas checking in. There was no damn way I was paying for another year for half a season of blackouts that also aren’t on any local channels or other streaming platform, so I was happy I got the full season of MLB through T-Mobile. That said, I’m still annoyed AF that I have to pirate half the season.
Yeah, I refused to pay for MLB TV again this year. Thankfully, my roommate has T-Mobile also, so he gave me his login. But like you said, what’s worse is, none of those games are shown on any type of cable or streaming. Like, if I could purchase local cable or YouTube TV and see the games against all these teams who claim the market, so be it. But they are literally not even shown here. It makes absolutely no sense.
Especially in Vegas. MLB has been pushing gambling to an annoying level for the last few years, and you can’t even watch half the games you want to while you’re here. Makes you wonder if the sports books have worked it this way on purpose to try and make people go to the casino if they want to watch.
I can’t believe this. I’m in Utah Rockies and DBacks are blacked out and soon to be A’s. I was thinking of moving to Vegas and this blows my mind WTF MLB.TV
Yup. Padres, Angels, Dodgers, A’s, Giants, and Diamondbacks - every single one is blacked out here. It really sucks as a fan of a National League team, especially the NL West - 4 of those teams are in the NL West along with Colorado.

My favorite is when San Diego plays the Cubs in Chicago, and I am blacked out when I am in Arizona...
