I do.

Netflix openly negotiated for the broadcast and that included the exclusion of all local rights.

I wanted to watch/listen to the game via the Giants local cast via John Miler just like I have done on opening day since 1997.

It’s a different world broadcast wise now. Games are on your local broadcast channel, Peacock, Amazon and Apple. You need subscriptions to all of them to watch your team. That’s just the way sports is nowadays.

Brad:

As always I respect your opinions, especially when it comes to baseball.

I understand the changes and I respect the fact the MLB can make me do it via exclusivity.

However they can’t make me like it.

I'm already now paying for NESN, which used to be free BTW, to watch Bruins and Red Sox games.

I'm not paying for any other streaming services to watch games that they choose to air on other channels, I call BS.

About once a month, a Friday night RS game is broadcast on Apple; nope, no thanks.

One reason I switched to DirecTV years ago was do I could get the Mets games. Otherwise, no games. I already have Apple so no extra cost there. I obviously have ESPN, TBS and TNT so no added cost there either. Some games will be on Peacock and that’s where I draw the line, mostly because I don’t find their non sports programming all that interesting.

Paying to watch is inevitable. Too much money on the table. The money always wins out.
