I assume they have to pay MASN and whatever thing has rights to broadcast Jays games—-or can MLB exercise eminent domain? I bet the discussions at the winter meeting around the communal streaming idea were interesting.

I'm sure that the O's share of the Apple money more than makes up for missing a few broadcast dates.

The Apple deal is worth $85 million per year to MLB

So annoying.  MLB.tv advertises "catch every out of market game for every team on MLB.tv".  They don't say anything about not broadcasting these stupid Apple TV games.  I feel cheated.  

Yeah, it's wrong and and honestly bad business to be blacking out MLB.TV customers.

One thing is not broadcasting the game on MASN/local TV. That's annoying/greedy, but they could argue they're not making much money off of people who happen to have those channels on their cable packages.

But those who are subscribing to MLB.TV are paying the league directly. With so many pirating options, you should make your paid product as full-service as possible.

Never mind. I found it. Picture is noticeably better than MASN. Why is that? Thought they all shoot on high def cameras

Apple actually broadcasts in 4K, not HD which is only 1024 x 720. I finally got in but Lord I hate this.

      Elias: It's on me

      What is unsettling to me is in how much better a position the team appeared to be in last year at this (approximate) time.

      I love this team, I love the Orioles

      I love the Orioles but after the last three decades it is no longer unconditional love anymore from me.  The Orioles are going to have to put out once in a while to keep my interest.  They got to let us go all the way once in a while.

      Elias: It's on me

      By foxfield · Posted

      The Baltimore Orioles are still one of the best teams in all of baseball.  They still have an awful lot going for them.  Unfortunately, the while the distance between World Series winner and close but no cigar is not that much in the overall win column during the season, the things they need to go right, and the things they need to do to improve are still pretty massive. Compounding this is the fact that they can do everything necessary and it is still possible it won't work.  I don't say that as an excuse.  Elias is going to be measured by playoff appearances and the success that brings.  He has been engineer of two playoff teams and a near miss.  He still has as many wins with his near miss and his rebuilding teams in the playoffs as his two playoff teams.  It is certainly fine to criticize that. Of course he says it is on him.  One because it is, and two because any good GM would do the same.  But the Orioles are no longer building towards being good.  They are good and no one is going to give them anything.  There is work to be done to make this team better positioned to compete in the post season.   And the Angelos family is no longer a hinderance. I am as disappointed as everyone else and in general I am a root for the uniform not the player guy.  These guys have been fun to root for, but the second half and this playoff run was tough to stomach.  I hope that to give this team the chance to compete, they add a #1 TOR pitcher and another playoff caliber starter before the season starts.  I also hope they add a playoff experienced RH bat.  Trade, sign, whatever.  The window is open.  Whatcha gonna do?

      I doubt any GM has ever done that.  Maybe he can be the first, he could hold a big press conference and everything.  Go Elias, go!

      Elias is also a known liar.  So take what he says with a grain of salt.
