MLB has also pissed a lot of fans off by their blackout rules, etc.  As a Cleveland fan here in Charlotte, I subscribe to all major sports out of market packages, Sunday Ticket, NBA Full Court and MLB Extra Innings. If an NFL or NBA game is blacked out, it's because it's on the other related networks that everyone gets.  So one never misses any games due to airing dilemmas.

However, not the case for MLB.  In Charlotte, any team that's playing the Orioles/Nationals is blacked out as all of its games (other than main network games) get aired on [I]MASN.  MASN[/I] is currently only available here in Charlotte via [I]DirecTV[/I], either its satellite service or streaming.  [I]Spectrum[/I] (which I currently have) is the main cable provider in the area and they don't offer it in any package.  How the Charlotte area is considered to be in the "regional" Baltimore vicinity, therefore, subject to blackout, is beyond bizarre.  So, I'm SOL whenever games are aired on [I]MASN a[/I]nd when Cleveland plays Baltimore or the Nationals, which Cleveland just played the Orioles this M-W.  :mad:

The local RSN here (Bally's South/Southeast) shows all of the Atlanta Braves games.
