Nearly 47 million residential areas and businesses reportedly rely on @Comcast @Xfinity for cable TV …… which means MILLIONS of customers won’t be watching their favorite baseball team play this week. And yet, I’ve seen no evidence that @MLB even gives a crap. ⚾️ #BallySports

A recap of the series in Seattle, but @DOBrienATL & @EOF34 begin w/ the absurdity that many fans were unable to watch Wednesday's game due to Bally Sports South not currently being available to Comcast customers. Apple: https://t.co/PqKtfHCRBw Spotify:https://t.co/TQRY35nEAx

Local MLB games being totally unavailable on Comcast for fan bases in 12 markets feels like something the league should be fixing ASAP. Like what is the point of any of this *gestures to baseball* if people can't watch the games.

Houston-area subscribers to Comcast/Xfinity services hoping to watch Texas Rangers games or the Dallas Stars' first-round NHL playoff series Wednesday on Bally Sports Southwest will instead be greeted by a blue screen with a corporate statement. https://t.co/6stU6ukPK4
.@Xfinity dropped Bally Sports from its cable systems nationwide this morning. Will that affect how you watch the #FlaPanthers in the NHL Playoffs? https://t.co/AXcLaniSKx
I call bullshit on that, in extenuating circumstances such as this, when Xfinity and Bally financial gouging spat led to a great many baseball fans who just want to watch the damn games being caught in the middle, abruptly and in the middle of the season. Lift the f'ing blackout. https://t.co/Ax8nQoblc0
By the way, MLB, re: the games that were on Bally and now unavailable to so many folks, lift the damn blackout of those games for those who pay $120 or $140 for https://t.co/jjJn0DOOht. To continue to black those out is horrendous.
Corporate greed and gouging has ultimately led to this, for a #Braves team that once, back when it was bad on the field, could be viewed across North America on the Superstation. Comcast dropped Bally Sports as of midnight. I wish Ted Turner could fix what MLB has shown it can’t. https://t.co/mZ0SDl3uFC
An option for, as Larry David might say, 'disgruntled' Comcast subscribers who are coming to grips with losing Bally networks overnight https://t.co/p25lEgw5lb
If the 30 @MLB owners were smart, they’d put EVERY local baseball game on TV for free the next week ……. as a show of goodwill with the fans — as baseball and Comcast hammer out a short-term carrier agreement. The teams and MLB still own the product. STEP UP!!! #BallySports
