so little excitement for this team AND they want us to pay - lmfao
It hasn’t been free for many, many years
but it has always been part of my cable package so ... basically free
This POV seems numb. Do you really think cable companies bought broadcast rights and didn't pass those costs on.
well, unless they are going to lower my bill by $20/month I (as well as many many others) will not be purchasing another TV package
Shouldn't your cable had gone down as soon as the Cardinals
were no longer included or are they charging you the same for less?
well, the Cardinals have ALWAYS been included and no, my bill has not gone down

"Cable and satellite providers offering Cardinals.TV will be updated soon, including channel number updates. Please check back in March for more information."

I normally watch through Comcast but it says it will not be providing the cable providers until March. So if I want to watch Spring Training I have to pay $100 and then if Comcast does end up carrying the Cardinals in my area I wasted my money, a little annoying.

Or just use the $19.99 per month offer for early spring games in February :wink:

Anyone else try it and did you get the "BUY" option?
I subscribe to MLB.TV streaming for all games. No blackout games for Card games as I live in Naples, Fl

That supports the other point. The bill should go down if the content is less.
The carriers have effectively moved the target from themselves and placed it
on sports by menu style products.

All good my friend. I find it overall cheaper by going basic and then getting specific adds which
can be done seasonally, although less simplified.

It's actually cheaper for out of market subscribers than in-market subscribers this year.

i tried to cancel DIRECTV and they gave me Extra Innings for free the last 2 seasons.

Get every game, home and away announcers for all MLB games.

Enjoy the Extra Innings package and the Mix Channel where 8 games can be viewed simultaneously.

I live in central Illinois and an in market viewer. Cardinals were viewed on Bally sports and FanDuel. If I sign up for MLB Extra Innings for all MLB games will I be able to also get the Cardinals on MLB Extra Innings?

The messaging on this has been less than stellar.

I believe you will have to pay another $19.99 a month or $99.99 for the entire season. For $199.99 you can get every MLB game.

Yet another great instance in MLB where it is NOT broken but we are going to f*ck it up.

Attempted to access MLB and ESPN to determine if I want to purchase the games. 3 days of the technology "circle of death" and no access to subscription - I have determined I do not want or need the access. MLB in past was maybe 5 clicks and you were under subscription. Circle of death and prices make it a ridiculous purchase.

Congrats MLB and owners you screwed the pooch again.

Crazy that they still are not saying who the announcing team will be and what channels they will be on for cable and satellite customers. Not that we couldn't see this coming with FanDuel.

Another instance of a monopoly business getting by because they are the only game in town.
