Informative thank you. What’s the VPN fee?

There's a quote somewhere on there. I can't remember. Not as much as the MLB subscription. Maybe half? I went with the two year plan and just forget about it for 24 months.

You can use stream east and pretty much works every game and don’t have to pay vpn fee either.  That the only way I can watch it as I am in the blackout area yet because I live 30 minutes west of Charlotte our provider doesn’t carry it but we still blacked out on mlb package.

Stream east has been down a lot lately

Great job by ESPN introducing the nation to the Orioles tonight. I thought they were just going to talk about the Red Sox and the Orioles would be incidental.

Yeah even Buster had to hold his tongue

I've used Nord VPN (standard) for about 7 or 8 years now.

https://www.privateinternetaccess.com has worked like a charm for me for almost 2 full years now as I cut the cord from DirecTV. Made no sense for me to pay over $100 / mo for 12 months just for six months of O's games. Now I just pay the baseball subscription and the yearly VPN fee, which is reasonable. I occasionally have to re-start my Mac if there's a problem logging in (maybe three times this year). I begin with the tab for MLB-TV closed. I shut the website down and log out after every game. I initiate the VPN and then re-open the MLB-TV tab and log in. I log out of MLB-TV after every game. I can't stay logged into the VPN when I'm not tuned in to baseball because my other streaming services do not always allow out of US log ins. But it's easy enough just to do this for O's games.

My Mac is a Mac Mini and I just run an HDMI into an open slot on my HDTV. I run a cable from the headphones out jack and into my stereo. 

Private Internet Access is my go-to VPN as well. The subscription also gives you access to a mobile device which also works well, since otherwise I’m geo-blocked from a lot of US newspapers and articles.

Yea, they did a good job with that.

Just one man's opinion, but I think some of these national telecasts get too cute for their own good at times, though. One or two too many mic'd ups, guest interviews, and special features across the entire production.

I agree. I like a unique feature here and there in the national broadcasts but in games last night the game itself starts to feel like a side show to the other constant segments.

Yeah I was surprised how much focus was on the Orioles.  Even ESPN is sick of the Red Sox… definitely too many distractions from the game if it were an ordinary Sunday Night Baseball broadcast, but kind of made sense given the LLWS setting IMO.

I think you mean the Red Sox are playing on ESPN and the Os will also be there.

It turned out to be the opposite.

ESPN threw Adley in everyone's face last night. It was almost too much, but it was a nice change from slobbering over the Red Sox.

I just wish they threw Mateo more love. I may have missed it, but they seemed to totally miss his mid-season profile change.

Glad the Orioles got some extra exposure, but the broadcast almost felt like a spring training/exhibition game at times.

p.s. I bet some of those little leaguers will be O's fans for life. What a fun opportunity for them.
