I guess yay for Roku?

As long as I can still watch games on Sundays via the MLB.TV app, I got no bones with this.
Roku to serve as new home for 'MLB Sunday Leadoff' games
The first game is at 1:05 p.m. ET, however, other first pitches will be earlier, at 11:35 a.m. ET.

At least it's free. NBC required you to sign up for Peacock last year.I guess yay for Roku?

But streaming MLB games is a mess. I have YouTube TV, so my only options are to buy MLB.TV and use a VPN because of blackout restrictions, or pay $25/month to sign up for Yes Network's direct streaming app. I'd rather pay $60/month to buy the cheapest seat in the ballpark for all the home games, $25/month to watch one team on TV is ridiculous
Youre not wrong that streaming MLB is a mess. In fact, it's a Fuster Cluck. I will say though that one of the perks of having T-Mobile is their season long free streaming package. The only thing I've "paid" for is the ExpressVPN app that allows me to watch Mariner games on my Apple TV.
The TV rights for the respective teams is such an outdated model that it eventually would have to come crashing down and the Bally Sports deal is the first real example of that. Hopefully the blackouts are the next domino to fall but in the meantime, using a VPN is the best way to get around them.
That's the only thing I miss from Tmobile.
But I switched to Verizon and got something better. They have something called "super tickets" you can try to claim, and I got 2 free NY Rangers tickets with a $200 merch voucher, tour of MSG, free food and liquor, and a meet and greet with Stephane Matteau. Only downside is you can only win one super ticket every 6 months, but they're surprisingly easy to claim.
Streaming sports right now is a mess, ill never understand why we have all this "4k" stuff and nothing is streamed or even broadcasted in 4k yet, how long has 4k been around? but we pay for "HD" and half the time it doesn't even look "HD"
I stream MLB.tv through my Apple TV. It works alright. My "universal" remote for the Apple TV does a better job than Apple's remote, and the icons-on-the-screen approach leaves something to be desired, but those are the only gripes I have. Using my satellite remote with the TV is much better, and navigating around is easier.
Because "4K" is a marketing trigger word that makes people salivate at the idea that their content will look absolutely amazing on their screen without realizing that their movie, tv show or sports event is recorded or broadcast in barely 1080P.
My wife works at Best Buy and she's told me horror stories about how the sales people will sell "8K" TV's and that it's a guarantee that what you see on the screen will be in 8K resolution. What the gullible sap who is buying the TV doesn't understand (or care to know) is that those 8K TV's more often than not will upscale whatever is on the screen so it will be in "8k resolution" but will look pixelated as hell because the content wasn't shot/recorded in 8K.
Do you remember the rollout of HD when all these people had HDTV's but were watching SD content on them and had no clue.
And I can't tell the difference between 4K and HD on my 85"Sony.
Id never buy an 8k lol i got a 92" 4k i get alot of pixel images on my tv, thats why i was venting lol an i love how Bestbuy has the greatest video on display on soccer/hockey etc but when you get it home looks nothing like that, i do know its all a video recorded thing they send out and crap but yeah
Amazingly, the Rockies have won 6 in a row and are 14-28.
Everything has been clicking for the Yankees lately. Great offense, really good starting pitching, and outstanding bullpen. And first to 30 wins in the AL.
The Yankees know a little something about buying championships 😜
To be fair, with the exception of Rizzo, their entire lineup today was either homegrown or acquired via trade.
There's not really an active hockey thread here, so I'm just going to post here- Go Rangers! Eastern finals, let's go!!!!
Go Kings!! even tho we didn't make it past first round again
Pirates rookie Paul Skenes throws no-hitter into the 6th inning until the bullpen blows it...

Skenes fans first 7 batters, allows zero hits in dominant 6 innings
CHICAGO -- It didn’t take Paul Skenes long to wow in his first road start Friday at Wrigley Field, striking out the side against the top of the Cubs’ order. And he didn't stop there: MLB's top pitching prospect struck out the first seven batters he faced, the longest streak

The new era - guys with no hitters get yanked
He was at 100 pitches to be fairThe new era - guys with no hitters get yanked
Every starter in the Yankees has an ERA of 3.56 or lower, and one of them has to leave the rotation to make room for Gerrit Cole's return. Excellent problem to have.
Yankees last 5 starts-
Rodon: 6.0 IP, 6 H, 1 ER, 0 BB, 6 K
Stroman: 6.0 IP, 2 H, 0 ER, 3 BB, 2 K
Schmidt: 8.0 IP, 3 H, 0 ER, 0 BB, 8 K
Cortes: 7.0 IP, 5 H, 0 ER, 1 BB, 6 K
Gil: 6.0 IP, 5 H, 1 ER, 1 BB, 14 K
All without the reigning Cy Young. And the rotation was supposedly a weakness before the season started.
