You guys are on the talking point but the opposite side of understanding ha

The Braves chose to enter the season with a razor thin rotation and a razor thin bullpen. That was a choice that was made. You can’t complain when pitchers get hurt. Pitchers always get hurt.

If one of the top 3 position guys goes down, that’s a tough spot but a choice that was also made. This team is razor thin.

ELI5, how does one watch the Braves in this era without paying 100 a month on a service? Not possible? I have honestly been boycotting MLB as well as some other sports for awhile now. My Son is 12 however and gotten a sudden interest in Baseball, trying to find best way to watch some games without breaking the bank. At 100 a month I rather buy lessons for him to work with a coach, and see some Chattanooga Lookouts games live. Oh How I miss the TBS/WGN days of baseball on TV.

Also as an aside. if I wanted to make a Chattanooga Lookouts thread would that go under "MLB Baseball" as a farm team, or the general "Sports Forum".

MLB.TV?

If your son is taking up an interest in baseball though, also get him out playing and watching the game. I live in Chattanooga as well and love Lookouts games. Best entertainment value in town.

A Lookouts thread would probably go in Sports Forum.

Yes we went to season opener and loved it. Hoping to see another soon. Expensive game for me...as ended up getting him a hat, jersey, mini bat, cards, etc etc etc....lol Dad was a sucka.

We also got him a D-Bat membership.

Looks like all Braves games for MLB.tv are blacked out in this area...unless I am missing something. You have to have access to bally sports to watch. I have sling and the sports package was really hoping we could watch them there through the MLB channel.

If you’re in Chattanooga, the Braves are mostly likely blacked out for you on MLB.tv. You would need a way to access Bally sports (at least for now) via cable, YT tv, etc. or direct Bally’s subscription.

If you’re just wanting baseball in general, MLB.tv is ~$120 a year and you’d be able to catch any teams games besides the Braves and maybe the Reds.

Had to Google D-Bat; never heard of that. That's cool.

It is MEGA cool I highly recommend. It's not like the old mini-golf batting cages..it's indoors and reminds me very much of a professional clubs training facility. On the premium membership he gets unlimited batting time. There are coaches there you can hire to help you. The guy that worked with him for 30 min first time we went was fantastic, and patient for a first time learner. I was very impressed. Don't mean to sound like a plug, but I have a feeling we'll be spending a lot of time there.

I have MLB.tv via Sling which I use for vols etc...but this sucks not being able to watch the Braves. This blackout crap is what is killing baseball...not the rules.

Most (all?) Reds games air on Bally in Chattanooga. It's weird because other than my next door neighbor (who used to live in Cincinnati) I've never come across a Reds fan in town, but apparently we are designated as being in their viewing area so MLB.TV blacks them out to protect Bally.

The blackouts exist because you have access to watch the games via the provider that pays to broadcast them. Just because you don’t choose to purchase that provider’s service doesn’t mean it’s “crap”

Sucks too because we watched a little of Spencer Stryder's highlights and were immediate fans. Most fun I have had watching some Braves pitching since the big three and our boy Smoltz.

I grew up watching baseball on broadcast TV, and later on TBS....and Bally isn't even available on my cable service. This is how you drastically reduce viewership and fanbase. it's stupid.

I’ve read before (might not be remembering all the details correctly) that you could live in Iowa (with no professional baseball team) yet be blacked out of six different markets.

Based on the fact that they black out the Braves, Reds, and Cards in Memphis (all of which are 4+ hours away), I'd guess that the Cubs, White Sox, Brewers, Twins, Royals, and Cardinals are blacked out throughout Iowa. What a cool way to promote your league in that state.
