Seems like a cluster F@&k out there. Why make it so hard to catch a game on tv a few times a week. When I was a kid. It felt like the O’s were always on regular tv. I’m not a diehard sports fan but I like to catch a game when the mood strikes. Hoping to take my son to his first game this summer too.
The best way is to listen on wbal radio 😜
Thats kinda my thoughts too, but with kids its not always an option, plus my corner bar has no tv’s. Thanks
I do like listening but hoping to get my son to pay attention a little which may be easier on tv. Thanks! Kinda sad bball fans cant watch games easily these days.
Illegal streams
Thestreameast.to
I watched 100% of games last year no problem
Best way is vpn. Even if you only watch 1 game a week, its worth the service. Think I paid 100$ for 12 months vs masn 60-70$/month.
I'm not super tech savvy, but not illiterate. It took some effort, but anyone can do it, esp if you know how to use reddit.
I have xfinity at home, and yesterday I was able to stream the game on MASN while I was at work. That was a first.
T-mobile gives mlb.tv to it's customers for free. Offer ends 4/4

Local games are still blacked out, though, no?
So if you live in the area you won't be able to watch the Orioles or Nats on it unless you're using a VPN.
Correct. I use my VPN for O's and Nats games.
Highlights on YouTube.
Unless you have xfinity you are fucked. So pissed too as we switched to Hulu 5 years ago and it's been great, with the exception of I haven't seen an O's game since 2018 on TV.
Money ruined baseball — the broadcast networks air very few games — one must subscribe to a different platform for every other game -/ or pay premium dollars to see teams you don’t want — it’s bullshit and drives fans away
BOX SCORES
Play a board game while you listen.
DIRECTV stream is what I used last year. It’s basically a cable package that includes MASN. I split it with a friend. The promotional deal last year was 70/mo for the first 3, then went up to 90. I ended up keeping it because it made it easier to watch any football I wanted to watch last year too.
See my other comment on Directtv stream. I agree it’s such bullshit, but this was a great solution last year and I never missed a game that I wanted to watch.
DIRECTV stream friend!

Doesn’t stream Orioles games

Masn is how I do it. I don’t have cable but my mother does. And I just log in with her Verizon credentials and I can livestream from the website then cast to the tv. It’s a pain in the ass but maybe you know someone who has access and they can hook you up? Seems like every network gets a rotation of the games so you either have to buy every fucking service or go fuck your self basically lol
Its so dumb. Blackouts should be illegal.
You aren't allowed to consume certain products based on where you live because someone else owns the rights to serve you...sorry I missed the part where I was being compensated for my rights to buy certain things being restricted.
VPN and MLB.tv and then chrome cast to my tv. That’s what I do. Works fine.
Baseball and money go hand in hand. From maybe the second baseball game ever played in 1800-whatever, baseball has always been about money. Everything about the game has been commodified and monetized for decades, on down to the peewee level. I agree that it sucks, but MLB exists to make money for billionaires.
I used to do the same. But then I had kids and we got Disney+ and Hulu and Netflix and streaming costs started going up so my $99 a year plan got nixed. It was too much effort to jump through hoops to get the game setup too
I sound like a fucking boomer but…. I miss being able to just turn a tv on with 1 button and quickly flip between channels. Fuck.
I think you're missing the point, he wants his kid to be able to SEE the game.
No worries im venting as well! Let it fly lol
I’m pretty sure they do.They don’t play until tomar.the stream won’t be up until tomar
They weren’t there yesterday, I was forced to leave work early and go to a bar to watch. Come to think, I have never watched an MLB game there.
Yea i read that they are losing fans cause baseball fans are older people and they are dying. Now they make it hard to catch a casual game. How you gonna make fans like that? Its all messed up. I catch raven’s games on the antenna. Why not Orioles?
> I sound like a fucking boomer but…. I miss being able to just turn a tv on with 1 button and quickly flip between channels. Fuck.
I relate. I'm too young to be a boomer, but I am old enough to remember when a lot of things were far simpler to accomplish.
When I see my Dad he wants to talk baseball and I have to be like “ I havent seen a game since the last time I was at Camden yards” sorry pops. Bummer
Dam my bad I saw mlb on there and just assumed it worked.I’ve been using that site for Ufc lately with no interruptions.
Why does having Xfinity matter? I have Internet from them, but not cable. Do they have a specific package you have to get?
Masn needs to get to the 21st century and stream orioles. They’d make so much money at just like 6.99.
Yeah, I use it for the occasional Raven’s game that gets displaced by a Steelers game in my area.
Anywhere the Boh is cold.
On your porch with the radio is an underrated option IMO. This coming from a millennial.
600 million in Public Funds for Orioles last year and can't watch a game on "over the air" TV.
Fuck 'em. Don't go to games. Don't trade with their sponsors. Fuck 'em right in the face with a big orange dildo.
Last year, you couldn't stream 98 Rock using a service like tuneIN when they had a Ravens game on, either. Like, the straight 98 Rock radio feed with the same commercials and everything. These guys are leeches. Vampires. Suck up every last coin they can find laying around.
You want to watch the birds? Go watch actual birds. It's free.
You should probably point out that that won't get you O's games without extra steps.
98 rock broadcasts all the games and their commentary team is awesome. You can't stream on the app but fm radio is a great way to listen to a game. Brett Hollander does a really great job of painting a picture for you.
T-Mobile has MLB.tv included in their service
I know this is an odd take but… Cross Street Market. Yesterday, while everyone was packed in the bars, there were plenty of open seating inside the market and they had the game on every TV in the place. They have very large TVs too so, good to watch from any angle.
T-Mobile gives away a code for MLB TV for the season, if you have them. Blackouts may apply.
If you want, I can give you my code.
The best way is after several beers.
Cubs fan, same vent. Just a few years back you could watch tripleheader opening day games on ESPN. I settled in yesterday to watch some and nada
Radio sportscasts are always the best. Nothing wrong with Jim Palmer and the MASN fellas, but I've been taught from an early age to mute the TV and turn on the radio while watching sports
> Last year, you couldn't stream 98 Rock using a service
That's been the case for a while. I'm pretty sure that's the No Fun League's fault

Is it no longer on MASN every day?
If your dad has cable and MASN ask for his cable login. Then you can get the MASN app on a firestick and use his credentials to sign in. Won’t effect impact him at all
Tickets are cheap
You can listen on the FAN.
I think this is more of a MASN is dogshit thing than a general baseball thing, but I could be wrong.
I subscribe to Direct TV Stream for baseball season to get MASN. When I'm in the car I listen to SiriusXM
We had this discussion at a party.
Buy a 10 game package. Get free MLB.com
Get a VPN
Log into MLB.com from "Montana."
Wonder why MLB is making it so hard to watch games.
They are on 98 rock now
VPN or SuperBox is the only way. MASN has fans lined up to pay for a streaming app yet doesn’t give a rat’s ass.
Really? When did they switch? 98 Rock always had the the Ravens and the FAN had the Orioles. Since I moved down to St. Mary’s last year I’ve been listening on WBAL.
Edit: just saw they switched last year.
Hate they got rid of local broadcasts. The only way now is via MASN. I don’t have cable so I’m SOL
It’s a sports thing in general. Each league is on a different streaming service, and then you have to pay astronomical cable bills as well.
The difference between now and thirty years ago is that every game is televised. That wasn’t true back in the day. You’d get most of them on HTS, but there’d always be a dozen or so that weren’t.
I pay for cable. It sucks. Not only that but MASN isn’t offered in basic packages even though we are local. You always have to pay for a sports package upgrade to get any sports channels besides basic ESPN. I think finally there are no blackouts on mlb tv so you can pay like 100 something bucks to watch games via stream. I could be wrong tho. I’m to scared to find out.
In college I paid for mlb tv only to find out that blackouts were a thing back then and I could watch every baseball game except the orioles. I was beyond pissed.
Just about every Os game is on Masn or Masn2 and have been for the past many years...not sure what is hard about that. You can even stream games from Masn’s website. Out of market you can subscribe to mlb.tv. And you can listen on the radio...
They do...
Not without cable access which I don’t
Give the radio a chance. MLB app is pretty cheap for a year.
I miss it too but not enough to miss watching the orioles. I canceled other subscriptions to better afford the MLB.tv
This is the way.
And it's $30 for the season or $4 a month to stream via the app if for any reason you don't get good radio reception.
MASN is the only place to watch O's games and MASN is only on Xfinity.
I just found out yesterday that MASN has an app you can stream every game on. You have to sign in with your cable provider, but quality stream and go to see them almost give the game away yesterday
Don't think that's accurate. My parents have FIOS and they get MASN. In fact, I'll be going over to their place to watch Saturday's game.
Cool. That's news to me. Glad to hear it. I still don't have FIOS either. We cut the cord and now I can't watch O's games. No issue at all with Caps games as we get Comcast Sports Net on Hulu.
Enough people start watching real birds and the billionaires will buy the Audubon society and start charging you a monthly fee to look out your windows
Um what app? They are blacked out on MLB.tv
We're talking about audio. You can listen to audio even in-market.
Man good looking out. Was literally about to snag MLB.tv and this saved me $149. Just a fyi though to other peeps the blackout only covers live. I will usually get back and watch the game later if I can't watch it on Cable and it's not blacked out
Glad it helped.
Where is the best place for one to find these streams? Y'know, just so I can be sure to avoid them
Ah yes. My mistake.
Honestly the majority of millennials I’ve known in most cities are casual baseball fans at best, who enjoy an afternoon beer in the upper reserves. Almost all of the millennials I know that are actual baseball fans, do it because of their family traditions, but I do see them carrying it on in the current generation, but I still worry about access to the games on a regular basis it’s hard to be engaged.
Get an MLB subscription and a VPN
In the year of our lord 2023 you are going to need either an actual cable subscription that carries MASN or an actual radio that can tune into 98 Rock. Truly shocking MLB hasn't captured the youth market.
You still smiling from 2016?
Blackouts do still apply.Augh
But to bring in fans who have dropped cable, MLB has increased the bases. &!$?#

you can get much cheaper vpns, i personally pay $80 for 3 years
[deleted]
Terrible. The same shit happens for English fans who want to watch the Premier League. We can watch almost every game here in the US, but they can't see their teams. It's insane.
I was surprised yesterday to learn the blackout also applies to away games! I went to watch the away game IN Boston on the MLB app to discover it was also blacked out...like WTH was it expected a fan was to attend every game of the season.
I just went with a reputable one I knew would work & had support for someone who isn't super tech savvy.
But id imagine there are cheaper options. Care to share which one you use?
I personally use PIA, they are known to not keep logs and they have a mobile version too. Really nice service with tons of VPN options

At this point your corner bar is probably the best option.
