How does the VPN thing work? Sorry, tech illiterate.
Well, right now it isn't working at all. MLB seems to be detecting my vpn and blocking me. I knew they were going to figure this shit out at some point and right now it looks like this is the year. But we'll see if my vpn provider can figure something out on their end. In the interim, I signed up with Fubo.

Same here, maybe it's a nationally broadcast game?

I like Rojas, not as starting 3B every da, but as utility guy. I think he'll have a good season

Edit: oops, wrong thread

Pretty easy as I am tech illiterate as well . I used Nord and down loaded it. I could pick any spot in country so if in NY you are not blacked out there. I open nord app and picked location and then streamed on tv

Well the Kraken are leaving ROOT. Wonder what will happen with revenue and the Mariners games.

I switched to FuboTV with a package that comes with ROOT Sports. It was easy enough to use with a Roku that my wife and my parents have no issues with it. Plus side is I can watch the game on my laptop when I'm not at home unlike with Comcast.

I have Fubo as well but its getting expensive in its own right. Increased $25 a month over the last 2 years. I used Stream east for a season before that. It works but it was really a pain to get it from a computer onto my TV and the resolution wasn't great.

Fubo is going to be my way to go. I plan on dropping CONcast as they raised my rates $50 this month because they felt like it. I’m glad the Kraken won’t be on root sports now (king5/kong6).

The less money I give to Stanton the better.

Comcast just dropped Bally Sports all together nation wide. 12 teams affected. Can't even get them on a premium package. Things are about to hit the fan. I suspect MLB broadcast distribution will look quite a bit diferent in the next couple of years.
