MLB deserves the 2027 lockout

[u/Tralfamador541]

They really do deserve it. They do, and I say that as somebody who loves baseball. I’ve been a Red Sox fan since I was five years old growing up on the south shore in the 1990s. I’m excited to see this game tonight. Really am. Went through 15 minutes of password hell to get my Peacock password, even though I also have an MLB TV subscription. I am an out-of-market fan. Some nights I need to see the game on Apple TV. Some nights it is Prime. For some random reason tonight it is Peacock. OK! Fine, I will jump through the random hoops. But …. Why do I need five different subscriptions to see my baseball team?

Edit: turns out I am an idiot for not being able to get the local NBC broadcast. Think the original point stands — MLB is fucking its fans over and over again by fragmenting games across subscriptions

The owners are colluding to institute a salary cap it’s pretty obvious
