Daily baseball statistical analysis and commentary.
I don’t understand why it’s taken this long. Revenue is king right? More ads, more money? More viewers more ads to show to. Can we finally watch baseball in our local markets?

“Major League Baseball’s arcane – and many would say horribly outdated – television blackout policy has long been a source of frustration for baseball fans. As most readers are by now well aware, under MLB’s existing rules, fans residing within each team’s designated “local” broadcasting territory are currently unable to view that team’s games over the Internet via the MLB.tv streaming service.” Instead, fans must subscribe to whichever regional sports network (RSN) owns the rights to the team’s games in order to watch their local team play.
