Just heard on Brock'n Salk that Root will now be available streaming for $20 per month to residents of the PNW.
I’m sure revenue will come from other means as well.

And yep I just subscribed to ROOT streaming ! I don’t have cable and haven’t for a decade so this is good news. I can watch on my phones tablets and tv with the website or app. I know it’s $20 but I don’t have cable so still cheaper than getting a tv package.

No need to use mlb tv anymore with any workaround.

Great news! The blackouts, having to use VPN to log in, this should be a great answer.

Plus, no more Dave Sims!! 🥳 🎉

That’s awesome. I spend $175 a month with direct tv and I just divorced them effective April 1. and the best part is no Dave Simms

$120 for the season sounds like a steal compared to that.

I was buying MLBtv and then paying for VPN access, so this app will still end up being cheaper.

And no blackouts/vpn/Dave Sims to deal with? I almost got excited about the season there for a second until I remembered the roster!

Hope you guys are having fun down there at spring training!

If you get a chance, and he happens to be there, yell at Dave Sims that he has a yuge head for me.

I was dead wrong on the pricing yet people still bitching about 74 cents a game or about 25 cents an hour. Insanity.

Yeah but we are talking about 24 cents an hour for something more boring than watching paint dry, BTW, Trump wants to do away with cents

People don't bitch about the cost of watching paint dry.

No Dave Simms, But we did see an old familiar face at the Brazilian Steakhouse last night. Mr. Franklin Gutierrez and he looks really healthy and happy.

Yesterday’s game was a reality check. Logan gives up the long ball 3 times and Julio, Rowdy and Cal can’t get a hit to save themselves. It was against the opening day starter Green but still you have to battle it out and all three farted
