Does anyone understand the mlb.com blackout rules? The closest major league city to where I live is Denver, and it's an 8 hour drive. So since the Rockies are playing in Houston I can't watch the game? Is this to protect the attendance in Houston tonight?

Quick reminder that the guy pitching right now, the one we brought out in a 1 run game in the 7th and now the 8th, was playing for the skeeters 2 weeks ago

---

Raley came from the Cards

---

Reds ?

Red Sox

well, here's the Rockies chance to win the game.

Josh vs. Story

Damn auto correct

We are not trading James after 5 appearances. That's some trolling, c'mon

Another walk by James. Shocker.

Nobody knows who it protects. Certainly not the sport itself. I had to tell my VPN I'm in Germany to catch the game tonight.

Just setting up the doubl... wait... never mind.

It's about TV deals, not really attendance. Last season I couldn't stream any Astros games because I was 500 miles away in Oklahoma. This year I can't stream any games with any California teams because I'm in Hawaii, a 6 hour plane ride away.

It doesn't matter if I don't have the local channels available but I still pay for MLB.TV. It all freaking sucks.

wow, vintage Joshua!

Good job by James there

hey, suddenly it's nice to have burned Story in the 8th

Nasty slider there.

Not bad James. Not bad

HO. LEE. CHIT

Story K's on a great slider. Big question is who gets the 9th with Pressly not available. Parades maybe?

Dude...You're in Hawaii

I would gladly pay for the MLB app if I could actually watch Astros games with it. Instead, I find ...other... means of watching.

Uncle Mike - what a sweet stroke.

Great job, Josh! Nice to see Story get K'ed especially after pimping the homer earlier.

I hope this is the James we can get the rest of the way out, just without the walk. That was good pitching from Josh.

Smart DNS service + Roku will get around the blackout. My picture was choppy with VPN. It's not with Smart DNS.

That was Carlos' pitch to drill and he missed it.

It's all about advertising revenue. Local (to Denver) advertisers pay big money to advertise to local residents. If you watch the game on Extra Innings or something like that, you bypass those commercials.

The idea of the blackout is to force you to watch the game on the local carrier. The fallacy though is that even if you're local to Denver, you still may not have access to the Rockies broadcast if that channel isn't available on your particular TV service in which case you're screwed. That is the part of the rule they need to figure out.

Arenado looks like Javi from tbe original Narcos

Definitely takes the sting off.

Still pissed about Oklahoma, mainly because I was Oklahoma. I didn't find out about the OK blackouts until the season started and no one was carrying AT&T Sportsnet in OK. Not even freaking AT&T TV

Just need Altuve to get on so TED can extend the lead.

Oof.

Black hole Ve

whew, it is ugly for Altuve...and not getting any better.

approaching 100 at-bats for the season

Its a 1 run games and we are using Raley, James, & Taylor while Paredes & Pressly sit. Even if it works, I do not understand Dusty.
