MLB next says that all of North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska and Iowa is in the “home territory” of all 12 playoff teams and so games can’t be seen there! /s
No changes for Canada, I hope….
Are the NBC games gonna be on NBC proper or locked behind a paywall on Peacock
I can’t wait to be blacked out of those too
GOOD. Kick the NBA’s ass.
Great! More games that will be blacked out on MLB TV!
Oh good each rounds going to be on a different platform.
Wow, I feel bad for Ernie Johnson’s TNT Sports crew. They are getting screwed out of everything due to Zaslav’s cheapness.
Is it dumb to hope for baseball on regular ass tv again?
Good, I’m paying for Peacock already!
NBC has the best picture quality IMO of the major networks so I’m always in favor of more sports with them.
All I care about is if MLB.tv is going away. If so, I’m off to the high seas, mateys!!
ESPN getting into “RSNs” is interesting.
And none of this will address the fact that I have to pay for an app (FanDuel Sports Network) to watch the Brewers at home, when I live in Wisconsin. This is the dumbest shit.
Glad to see NBC sports fully back. Should be a great production.
NETFLIX GET OUTTA HERE
Super excited to need 4-5 subscription services in order to watch all the games.
What does Opening Day on Netflix mean? Will I have to buy a month of Netflix just to watch my home team play?
Turner losing another major sport. They might as well get rid of TNT Sports.
No more Apple TV!
🏴☠️ 🏴☠️ 🏴☠️ fuck them all. i’m not paying for this bullshit anymore.
If they fuck mlb.tv I’m going to be so pissed.
So the home run derby and field of dreams game will only be on Netflix?
NBC for Sundays? I can dig that, especially if they bring back one of the old classic theme songs for MLB on NBC.
But, ugh, Netflix, no thanks.

🙄
Oh boy I can’t wait to hear how bad the commentary is going to be
Soooooo, as an out-of-market fan I now need to **PAY FOR** Extra Innings, ESPN, Roku, YouTube, Apple, NBC and Netflix as well as Fox for the playoffs? Cool. Can’t wait to spend $500 for 30 blacked out games…
