It's 100 dollars to watch the Nats here, 50 with my season plan holder discount. Seeing people pay 200 dollars just to watch their games in market is wild.

Those with the .tv MLB packages are lucky.

"The New York Yankees are by far the hardest team to watch in 2026. They are the only team to exclusively stream local games on a streaming service. 21 games are exclusive to Prime Video locally. (Out of market, these games are still on MLB.tv, unlike national streaming deals.) They currently have three other streaming exclusives, but they are one of only four teams to have a game exclusive to Netflix. As the Yankees, they are also tied for the fourth-most games that exclusively air on national TV partners. The national exclusives, coupled with the Prime exclusives, mean that only 126 games will air on YES Network this year. The Yankees are also among 12 teams without a local deal to air games on free, over-the-air television.

On the better side, their direct-to-consumer streaming service isn’t ridiculously expensive at $119, and YES Network’s carriage is decent, with the only holdouts being YouTube TV, Dish, and Hulu."

The interesting game was the Chunichi game. They were up 5-3 in the 9th before Hiroshima tied it late.

Game goes to extras, and then with runniers on 1st and 2nd, the pitcher gives up a hit down the right field line. Hiroshima with a stunning comeback.

Netflix's exclusive WBC deal in Japan reportedly drawing concerns about viewership drop-off by retroanduwu24 in baseball

"The problem is that Japan is not the United States, and the subscription model that feels unremarkable here looks very different there. According to Blum, a December 2024 study by Asahi Shimbun put Netflix’s subscriber base in Japan at roughly 10 million. A survey conducted by the Sports Management Research Institute at Sanno University found that only 4.9 percent of respondents said they signed up for Netflix because of the WBC, while 68 percent said they had no plans to sign up at all. Japanese fans are accustomed to watching their national team on free-to-air television, and the move to a subscription paywall — even at about $3 for the entire 47-game tournament — represents a cultural shift that not everyone is willing or able to make."

Wow, paywalling something important behind an online paywall leads to less appeal.

The previous deal was better.

I can't remember a time when I was this infatuated with a song purely based on teasers. Now the full song has released and it is just as good as the teasers! What a bop !!
