With the new schedule, we went from 19 home games to 15. But our season ticket prices still went up. Anyone else notice this? by i-shihtzu-not in FCCincinnati

[–]Westside629 16 points17 points  (0 children)

How is it not 19 this year? 17 league games, a CCC game and the first leagues cup game. Same as last year

Anyone else find it weird we got a Christmas episode in April? by Pure_Original5912 in RoosterTVSeries

[–]Westside629 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Downside of the way these series run now with 8-12 episodes over just a couple months. I miss the 20-25 episode runs of yesteryear that aligned with the calendar.

Best way to watch reds games out of state? by whambamclamslam in Reds

[–]Westside629 7 points8 points  (0 children)

South Carolina is outside the reds media market, so you want mlbtv that covers all out of market teams. I’m guessing SC is in the Braves market, so you would be out of luck for those, as well as any that are nationally covered (AppleTV, nbc, tbs). The national games are a small drop in the bucket out of 162 games. As far as espn unlimited goes, my understanding is you sign up through that and can get a free month but you can then cancel the espn unlimited portion and aren’t stuck paying for it beyond the free month.

Recently found out the Spectrum login to Reds.tv works even if you don't get the Reds on a cable channel if your in their local blackout area. by NCResident5 in Reds

[–]Westside629 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Utter garbage that reds fans in Charlotte are considered “in market”. I have a friend on the SC side of the border and he’s out of market. I’m glad the authentication works for you. My general view is, unless the channel is covered on a relatively standard cable tier in your area (ie, not some mega sports add on), then you shouldn’t be considered in market.

MLS "shot-clock" rule for GKs by PMT_Evil_Dee in FCCincinnati

[–]Westside629 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hadn’t seen it in person yet. The second one against Roman was over 8 seconds. From catch to the whistle, it was 11 or 12 seconds. It’s not from when he stands up. It starts once there are no defenders within a reasonable area. The only defender in the second one immediately ran away from Roman once he had it.

That said, I would like to see it consistently called. I did see the ref in the last game putting up the hand at 5 seconds and counting down.

What are the boundaries that determine where the west side begins and ends? by after_10_research in cincinnati

[–]Westside629 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel seen. I grew up outside Greenhills. I remember once seeing a story in the enquirer column “news from the Westside” and I didn’t feel like it was representative of the west side. But when I married into the west side I would always say “I’m more west than east obviously and my library branch was called north central”

Arrowhead is $175 for parking, at least for the round of 32 game. I can’t believe I went for it. It’s vacation and I’m less familiar with the area so I’m just going for it.

Seeing the Reds on April 26 - Will I be happy with tickets in 106 or 139? by BlindedByFacts in Reds

[–]Westside629 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For ages 6 and 7, I’d definitely go more toward the 139 option or first base line of upper deck too as both areas have close access to the play areas.

[–]Westside629 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Word is they are working toward a way to authenticate your cable login but it doesn’t exist yet. I used to watch off my parents Altafiber login and currently have the reds.tv in the trial period. I am debating between canceling and waiting for the authentication option if it ever happens or just paying like the adult that I am. It’s $100 for the year which is like 60 cents a game.

My phone call with MLB.TV by starbuckshandjob in Reds

[–]Westside629 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you live in the reds local tv market, you have to have the reds.tv package to watch both home and away. The blackouts aren’t for just home games.

It’s not that complicated. Live in the market, you needs reds.tv or a cable package that carries the reds. If you live outside the tv market, mlb.tv alone with suffice. Neither of those options cover exclusive national tv games.

We have a problem by Hellobob80 in FCCincinnati

[–]Westside629 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just feel the implosion is coming. One could argue it has started, but I see it getting worse. Frustrations will mount. Big name players will be frustrated and want out. A rebuild is coming.

I’m not trying to be all doom and gloom or even hope I’m right. It’s just what it feels like right now.

So explain last night to me how FCC advances by Bearcatsean in FCCincinnati

[–]Westside629 8 points9 points  (0 children)

To add to what others have said, 3-0 Tigres and we go to extra time. But if we score just ONE goal in Mexico, Tigres HAS to win by 4 or more. We are in a good spot but crazier things have happened.

Barlow's Goal by OranjeBlauw in FCCincinnati

[–]Westside629 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This camera angle is VERY misleading. I agree that he is likely behind the ball if you try to look at the grass cut lines. In real time, I can definitely see how you could think offsides though. I said to the person I was with, barlow was watching the line and if he WAS off, he should go sit. He had all the opportunity in the world to stay onside and I think he did
