Josh Sternberg @joshsternberg.com · 25/03/2026It's quite amazing how much MLB hates its fans. Opening night, two storied teams, only available on ... Netflix. What a giant fuck you to millions of people who love baseball but don't want/need/have Netflix. 342131279
Ezlifelin @ezlifelin.bsky.social · 26/03/2026I followed you just to share this with you: (ssshhhhh). v2.sportsurge.net/home5/v2.sportsurge.net 000
Yxuppi! @yxuppi.myatproto.social · 25/03/2026Those of us whose games on TV are controlled by MLB this year for the first time, as “<teamname>.TV,” have yet to be told the cable channel number that the “<teamname>.TV” will be on. 190
Dennis Yedwab @dennisyedwab.bsky.social · 25/03/2026Say what you will about Bud Selig, at least he liked baseball. Rob Manfred clearly doesn’t. 070
MeganC @auntiebacon.bsky.social · 25/03/2026The Giants are still calling Friday their official “opening day” lol 040
Mr-Write @mr-write.bsky.social · 26/03/2026The NFL regularly does the same. It’s always all about the Benjamins. 020
FunnyTechGuy 💙 @funnytechguy.bsky.social · 26/03/2026I don't follow sports, but I agree. That's fucked up. 000
DocManhattan @d0cmanhattan.bsky.social · 25/03/2026Not a Baseball fan (Unless the Detroit Tigers make the playoffs😏). Saw though, they are now using robot/AI to rule on disputed balls and strikes. Found it laughably interesting that the main gripe players have w it is not that it is imperfect but they have to disclose their true height.😄 010
aspenchef.bsky.social @aspenchef.bsky.social · 26/03/2026MLB greed has slowly killed my interest in baseball. As a lifelong fan, I'll admit that I miss it, but enough is enough. 042
k1p1 @knitlife.bsky.social · 26/03/2026MLB has been dropping the ball on streaming for years now. It's really painful at this point. They could do so much to grow the game with MLB Network and streaming and instead we get three games on each streaming service at random. And fucking blackouts. It's mismanagement but the billionaires dgaf. 010
Black sheep @alanhoward.bsky.social · 25/03/2026It’s just about making money. They don’t care about regular people 040
Emma Jean Kitty @emmajeankitty.bsky.social · 26/03/2026It’s always a money grab / they make billions but apparently it’s still not enough 000
Betty @plaidbetty.bsky.social · 26/03/2026These are the channels and subscriptions you need to watch all 162 regular-season #Phillies games in the 2026 #MLB season: Apple TV+ ESPN Fox Local Fox Sports 1 NBC Sports Philadelphia NBC Local Peacock Netflix I bought a radio. 0173
Cassiopeia🇵🇹🇩🇪 @cassbo.bsky.social · 26/03/2026I pay for Netflix and couldn’t access the damn game. 000
weedshouldbelegal.bsky.social @weedshouldbelegal.bsky.social · 25/03/2026NASCAR did a couple of races on Primetime. I watch the races every weekend. But, if I have to pay Jeff Bezos to watch a race, I am not doing it. 1130
Save Ferris @savesferris.bsky.social · 26/03/2026Fuck all the streaming of sports.. and actually fuck streaming altogether. Id go back to renting at blockbuster if i could, at least it felt like going on a date 010
silverstone @silverstone.bsky.social · 25/03/2026The exact same thing happens to NFL fans, if they lack any of several streaming networks now affiliated with the NFL. It doesn’t seem to concern the NFL that millions of viewers are left out, at least yet. 081
Land of the Stupid @landofthestupid.bsky.social · 26/03/2026It's beyond cringe 😬. Horrible experience 000
Justin Satzman @jsatz.bsky.social · 25/03/2026Was in Vegas for NFL Opening Weekend and that Friday game from Brazil was on YouTube. Not YouTube TV, just YouTube. Half the bars had no way to show it. We had to watch in the sportsbook. 150
Rob Liguori @robxlii.bsky.social · 25/03/2026The Athletic found that it would cost about $800 to be able to watch a telecast of every Yankees game this season. I miss WPIX. www.nytimes.com/athletic/714...nytimes.comYankees’ Netflix debut is latest example of sports’ complicated TV landscapeFans have never had more access to live sports on TV. But it comes with costs, like navigating a maze of networks and new subscription fees. 1164
Linds Ayliffe @lindsayliffe.bsky.social · 25/03/2026I’m so sick and tired of saying “follow the money“. Greed kills everything it infects. Everything. 2394
Pumpkin Spice Rules, not the Orange One @medusazeus.bsky.social · 25/03/2026F1 races moved to Amazon Prime. Ridiculous. 261
biffster01.bsky.social @biffster01.bsky.social · 26/03/2026They wonder why they have lost their fan base 021
AnneC @annecw.bsky.social · 25/03/2026I will just say that in a quest to make our cable cost less, we went with a cheaper package that had NO broadcast channels (ABC, NBC, CBS, PBS, etc.) We are currently seeking another streaming provider. So I'm not sure how people access broadcast channels any more. 170
public health guy @publichealthguy1.bsky.social · 25/03/2026"who needs to grow the sport when we can just get kids addicted to betting on their phones?" 0210
VicSanta @vicsanta.bsky.social · 26/03/2026Up is down! It’s our National Pastime! And it should be broadcast on our national airwaves ! 040
Josh Sternberg @joshsternberg.com · 25/03/2026My 8yo wants to go to a Yanks game this year. Nosebleed tickets for a random June Saturday game is $70/pop. So right off the bat (sorry) it's gonna cost $280 just to get in the door. Then there's parking (coming from NJ) + food, and it pushes it close to $400-$500. Price prohibitive to go to a game 109310
