    You are complaining about only being able to watch 99% of the games when there are people who can’t watch any baseball because some team 2 states away “claims” them. I agree there is a big problem, but it’s not the one you described.

    They have no clue what they are doing with promoting or making their product easy to access. Antiquated broadcasting systems in 2024 kill the fan experience. The easiest place to watch is ‘coughs’ completely legal streams.

    OP, I’m also a huge Yankees fan, but looking for a good source that shows where the games are being broadcasted? What do you use?

    Preach. If I want to watch all of Sopranos, I can subscribe to 1 service. What pro sports is pulling on us is like accessing episodes 1-4 on HBO, then ep 5 on Prime, 6-8 on Hulu and season 2 on Showtime. It should be unconstitutional.
