Jason and Steve made it seem like it would be free to register and to watch these games (I assume you have to pay for the rest of the content and this is Apple's attempt to lure you in). Is this correct? Is it free to create an account and watch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmags Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 This is so annoying. Liam will always have a special place in my heart for using his time with the commish to ask for the end of blackouts so we can just get mlbtv and not be shuffled around forty streaming services. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously. I already have MLBtv. I subscribe to youtubeTV mostly just for Sox games. Why the hell do I need to add another service to see all the games. I get that its easy and free. That doesn't mean is isn't still annoying. And to Harold's bar comment, what a great way to make sure that these games aren't on in any bar or restaurant. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CentralChamps21 Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 So I just added Apple TV to our Roku TV. I found tonight's game. It's listed under Apple TV+ which means the subscription is required, but it also says it's free for a limited time so it looks like we can get tonight's game without subscribing; but by the time we get to the May 6 game against the other Sox, a subscription might be required. I'll sign up for the free trial for that game. Then for the June 17 game I'll have one of my parents sign up for a free trial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't have one if it wasn't for MLB. I just went through a half hour loop of password resets, security questions and 2FAs that I don't get with any other service. Fuck Apple. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CentralChamps21 Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 I would think there's a tipping point where if too many games go to exclusive deals, mlb.tv sales start to suffer. I can see people who are buying mlb.tv to see 150+ of their team's games deciding to get rid of it if that number dips too much farther.

He has power unfathomable in his grasp - but it would kill him to use. He knows what it is to have power over trillions and is asking Manfred and his power over millions of MLB.TV subscribers to make life easier.
