Opening Day is upon us! Dbacks vs. Rockies series thread

[dogpoo32]

Well, you know what we're talking about then, how bad the Rockies Commentators are.

Oh yeah. They're awful. They used to have this roaming commentator who would always wear a cowboy hat. He was always good for a chuckle...

Wyoming gets FSN:R.Mountain, I know that personally, I've driven from Phoenix and Tucson to Rapid City,SD.

Cool.

Just wondering, what team's games are blacked out for you on MLB.TV? Do you know? I know there is at least one team for every zip code who's games are blacked out and it's your "local" team. I'd guess it's probably the Braves for you but I'm just wondering. For me here, the Reds games are all blacked out but I get them on FSN Ohio anyways.

 

[dogpoo32]

Oh thats interesting. We get both FSN Ohio and FSN Midwest here. We get all of the Reds games but all Cardinals games are blacked out. However for NHL its the opposite, we get all of the Blues games but the Blue Jackets games are blacked out. We also get Pacers games on Midwest. I don't watch any of them much these days since I have MLB.TV where I can watch any MLB games I want. As for NBA, I usually only watch when the games are on TNT or ESPN as I don't care for the Pacers too much. I will probably get the NBA League Pass next season. These season pass things where you get every game are addicting but since I watch them frequently I think it's worth it for me.

All the Suns and Coyotes games are blacked out. Pisses me off. Also bugged that when the DBacks play someone else, say the cardinals, and its on their FSN, its blacked out. Sometimes ill get to see the end of the game if it goes past the allotted time though.

I was going to get MLB Extra Innings a couple years ago, but all DBack & Rockies games are blacked out. So I got angry at the lady on the phone.

I've watched a couple of Avalanche broadcasts on Altitude and their guys aren't very good either. I guess it's something that runs in the Colorado sports family.

Talk about lame things the Rockies have done, how about that terrible mascot? I know ours isn't much better (Hell, I say do away with all mascots) but how do you defend this:

Still better than looking at Benito Santiago.

That's stupid. Why do they expect you to pay for something and then black it out for you. I knew going into buying MLB.TV that all Reds home games would be blacked out, but I don't care since I don't like them plus again I can watch on Ohio if I wanted anyway.

 

[Phxchris1989]

I'm not sure, I live in North Carolina right now, and I put in my TN zip code, so as long as I keep myself listed in TN I could watch Dbacks games in AZ. Haven't tried any Braves games.

I guess they think I can drive out to see every home game or something.

True!

LOL

At least ours looks like a normal animal. That thing is brutal. Wouldn't that scare little kids anyway?

 

[dogpoo32]

They've been talking about food this whole inning lol.

 

[Phxchris1989]

Always reminded me of Barney. Watch the 9th inning of this game, I promise you that thing will be behind homeplate.

It's probably the Braves. There's a thing somewhere on the site where you can enter in your zip code and see what team is blocked out for you. I don't understand why they make you pay for something and then black out certain games but I guess if you aren't going to be watching anyways then it doesn't matter. I guess it's like what dogpoo said, they think we can drive to every home game I guess.

lol. What was that guy talking about at the beginning of the inning that he got out with a ruler and measured the facade or something lol.

It's a money thing. I don't know it's a money thing, but it is.

1-2-3 due up for us in the 7th. This is our chance to pull away and take a lead.

 

[dogpoo32]

Another good inning for Livan. My wife is going to learn to get out of the house when he pitches so she doesn't have to hear me sing the Elton John song over and over.

True, I don't feel like watching another 18 inning game between these two teams.

 

[dogpoo32]

I don't know, I heard it to. One of those dog-like ear perk moments.
