Can you if you are in market?  Or do the O’s and Nats games get blacked out?

I do have TMobile and have the codes for MLB.TV and the Athletic.

I'm not sure....i'm in South Carolina.

Bought MLB.TV and had full intentions on watching it, and as many games as I could fit into my schedule this year.  Now I'm attempting to cancel my subscription and don't plan on watch it, or any other baseball this year.

Of course! It's the Orioles. It's a ML game. Of course I'm going to watch.

[CanadianOriole]

Will definitely watch some of it - I'll be flipping around to some of the better games as well as the Orioles won't be contending for one of the many playoff spots - but I'll watch some of the O's game for sure.

[Moose Milligan]

Of course.

Absolutely.  Even if it's a heavily asterisked-season, it's Opening Day for crying out loud.  Why wouldn't you watch (assuming you have access to do so)?

If I was working I'd be taking a Vacation Day (night) for Opening Day!

[CynBeth]

Yes!

Sorry to hear it, hope you are able to find another safe space.

I would if I could. I hope something gets rained or something and some is on a national broadcast.  With YES pulling off most TV options and no games against the Mets I won’t see much Os this year.  Was banking on tonight’s game being on TV given it’s Boston’s opener.  Boo.

Has nothing to do with safe space,  simply I don't want political statements thrown in my face with every pitch or at bat.  Baseball was the one place where a person could relax and just watch the darn event without the crap of what going on in society in your face.   I don't care if we are talking BLM or the NRA, Trump or Biden, baseball was an escape for me, but no longer is.

I understand. As I said, sorry for your loss. I hope you are able to find another escape that is safe from politics. Maybe golf? Or bowling? I watched a lot of bowling when there was no other sports on. The PBA is back now but watching the old events was still fun for me because I didn't know who was going to win.

For people who can watch, let me know if they have the netting set up.

They did for the exhibition games.

I was gonna say, it'd be to much expense and bother to take it down.

My soul is malnourished and I will devour this sorry excuse for a real baseball game with fervor. I will suck it dry of all the Orioles baseball it has to offer and I will leave its desiccated corpse behind me as I look immediately towards the next game. I will take my hesitance that there should even BE baseball right now and I throw that thought directly into the trash because the baseball bloodlust will have fully and completely overwhelmed my being. I will know no obstacles in my singular quest to consume this baseball game messily and with gross indulgence.
