MLB is famous for its television blackouts. This means that if you pay for MLB.TV, you cannot watch games that are considered to be in your area on the app. Instead, you have to watch your local television broadcast of the game. It is a pain for a lot of people. For some, they get the short end of the stick. People may be too far away from the location to get that local broadcast but are considered too close by MLB standards. I faced this situation when trying to watch games. Even though I'm not in Wisconsin, they still consider me too close to Milwaukee. I don't get their local broadcast and I can't watch the game on the app. It is a real pain for fans who just want to watch baseball. Ending MLB's television blackouts have been a long-term discussion among fans. They don't see it doing anything other than hurting the growth of the game. Baseball fans are hoping for the day that Rob Manfred wises up and fixes this issue.
