Debating if MLB.tv package is worth it. Does it have old Oriole archive games? How many? Does it work on your Tv or just computers?

Bumping this thread.  I tried this last year and it worked. I'm now getting emails from MLBPAA that they are offering the same deal again. I recommend it. You make a $25 payment to MLBPAA an

I've had it every year it's existed. I am also out of market for the O's. I love it. Some of the best money I've ever spent. When you watch in a browser on a PC, you can watch 1 game, 2 games or

By the way, if you want a 50% discount on MLBTV, become a "fan" at https://www.mlb.com/mlbpaa/membership/fans. It costs $25 and I think you get a shirt and other discounts, but in about 15 minutes, yo

DirectTV STREAM is the only online service that offers MASN in-market that I am aware of. Looks like its more expensive than last season, over $99/month. I may be listing on 630AM this season at those prices.

not legally, this is a league wide fanbase problem where the MLB always says its trying to bring back or get more fans but black out games. Every fanbase has this problem. Me not a fan of constant tech changes even knows its time to get up with the times and accept streaming across the board and stop blacking out games on MLB.tv no matter where you are.

I am not TV or computer savy.  I have been looking over the MLB.tv website and cant figure out if it is worth it to me.  I live in MD and will get most Oriole games on MASN on the TV.   But I am very interested in our minor league games also.  And I do occasionally want to watch certain teams and players like Otani and Trout.  

Is the package worth it?   What do you get with it?  I would be very interested in watching some older Oriole games that might be in some archive.  Do they have anything like that?   Would really enjoy if I could see the Tippy Martinez three tipped off guys in one inning since I was at the game myself.  Or like the game Eddie Murray stole home to win a game since I was there.   

How many old games do they have available to watch?

For old games, I only see archives going back to 2021. If you're local then the live O's games will be blacked out for you anyways, so it's really for other teams and the minor league games (which they're just starting to do this year).

I'm on the west coast, so I've had mlb.tv to watch O's games for the last 15 years. But in MD it mostly depends how much you value seeing other games.

I have had it forever as well, living outside the market. For some reason, they think Idaho is in Seattle and Denver markets so those are blacked out. I’ve tried watching them with a VPN to no avail. 
Great news that the minor league games are now included. 

I’m not endorsing using VPNs here since they’re not legal for all uses, but some VPNs do work with mlb.tv and their blackout restrictions while others don’t. So a different VPN may get better results.

Stream east xyz. I am in the blackout area so can’t get any games on mlb tv but also the local provider does not offer masn package either so that only way I can watch them.  I been using them last few years with no issues until last year when mlb started cracking down on these streaming sites and had to miss probably 10-15 games because site down but a day or two and it would be up again..

Feel like se.xyz went completely dark with MLB and lots of other sports last year. They were still reliable for RedZone. 

I agree with the above sentiment tho. I'd give MLB $150 easy to watch the Os. They don't want my money tho. Blacked out alllll the way down in NC. Just pure stupid. GameDay and game threads it is.

MLB gives a lot of hot air about growing their fan base and bringing in new fans, but choose grabbing every dollar in the present over doing something for the future of the game.

The market definitions for some zip codes is wild.  Years ago I was in Las Vegas for an extended time and was blacked out of an entire Orioles road trip.  At the time there were 7 teams claiming NV as part of their market.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By OriolesMagic83 · Posted

      Yeah, that's what I was afraid of.  I'm sure Elias will kick the tires.  WS will be asking for package headed by one of Holliday, Mayo or Basallo.  Maybe price will come down in the offseason.

      Suarez is probably going to have to go back to the pen. We just don’t have enough arms there to make it through the season, especially with having very few relievers who can pitch more than 1 inning. Even though Suarez has been the much better pitcher than Kremer, he gives you no length. He is the basic definition of a “5 and dive” pitcher.  I guess they could try Kremer as a back end reliever given his strike out stuff and penchant for not being able to go through a lineup a third time. However, the downside to that is his susceptibility to the long ball.

      This is Crochet's first full year back from TJS after 12 IP last year. You'd have to think if you are trading for him, it's not for this year, but next year as he's likely only got a few more starts left him if he's handled responsibly, which he should be, coming back from TJS. He's under control through the 2026 season and there is value in that even though he's arb eligible and will likely get a nice bump in salary.

      Luzardo screams "flames out in a few years" to me. No thanks, or at least for what he'll cost. Robert has played literally one full season of baseball in his entire life. Again, too much risk and no thanks. Crochet would be a good target, because we get him for 2 1/2 years and is an elite lefty. Given where CHW are, a package with Kjerstad and one of our young pitchers (headlining) makes sense for both teams.  If we are forced to effectively give up on Mullins or Hays (either BC of injury or general suckiness), Taylor Ward does make sense. His name has been tossed around a lot. His splits playing against AL East teams kinda scare me, but he's a RH bat that can play good defensive OF and under team control for a few years and probably won't cost much. As for bullpen arms, this seems like the hardest to predict. CHW doesn't really have anybody pitching well there. The Marlins have our old friend Tanner Scott, but he isn't anything near a sure thing like other experienced closers. Mason Miller will cost too much. Chapman may make sense if DC is out. As a 36 year old rental he won't cost as much, which will be important if we go all in for a starter. His wildness will make our blood boil but he still has the swing and miss stuff and obviously a ton of playoff experience. Maybe Beeks from COL? Another lefty bullpen rental.

      I was against the idea of a Crochet addition before the Bradish injury because I didn’t see the need. Now, I’m all for it. He would be a gamble but a much better buy than Luzardo who is not pitching well at all this season. He (Luzardo) would be the kind of non-impact move that we tried last year, that blew up in our faces.  On the other hand Robert is more of a luxury move than a need. IMO the needs are now top end starting pitcher (#2/3 type) AND shut down reliever. Anything addition beyond that is gravy. The priorities are pitching.

      I think a RH bat is all we need offensively. I’d look at JD Martinez.

      How do other teams have ANY leverage? It’s not like Elias is forced to deal with them. If he was only dealing with one yea they would have leverage because the Orioles have a need on the roster. But because there are MULTIPLE with MULTIPLE players he can move on from any team and they will get nothing from us. Those other teams are incentivized to move their players JUST AS MUCH as we are incentivized to add. NOBODY is getting Westburg (or even asking for him at this point) or ANY OTHER MAINSTAY Major Leaguer of the roster. That’s not how the trade deadline works. As I mentioned nobody is going to the Yankees and saying give us Gil, Soto, Judge, Rodon, etc. Nobody is asking the Dodgers for Betts, Freeman, Ohtani, etc. Teams who are rebuilding/selling are asking for prospects. Oakland and the Chicago White Sox are not one player or even one year away. Guys who are already established now (even young ones like Jordan Westburg) do nothing for them in their phase of rebuilding.
