in order to watch every Yankee game i have to have at least DirectTV for YES network and ESPN, AppleTV and Amazon Prime. Ridiculous and I live in NJ near NY. And I have MLB season package too. Ugh.
MLB needs to get their blackout rules under control - people can't watch games even though they're hours from the ballpark. I'm 3 hours from the Astros and Rangers but both are blacked out. You also can't watch all the games on MLB-TV because some are streamed on various platforms. It's a giant mess and the younger people aren't playing along.
It is a serious problem and has been for years. And there seems to be no rhyme or reason... for example, I believe that people in Vancouver are blacked out from both Seattle and Toronto games (like all of Canada - which is weird, as last I checked it is a fairly large country).
It is owner greed and shortsightedness like this that continues to kill the sport we all love.

People in Hawaii are blacked out for games of all five California teams! Makes no sense.
