Beeston was the one who fought for the no blackouts apparently and we all know how much money he left on the table during his tenure so I wouldn't say Rogers thought it was best that people used MLB.TV to grow their brand.
Lol people don't realize the whole point of a business is to maximize profit. Rogers was leaving lots of $ on the table by allowing this.
TBH get a VPN and you can still use MLBTV, there are easy ways around it..
Yeah it does because SN is broadcasted across the nation. The whole point of the blackout isn't to get more fans in the stadium but to force people to pay for Roger's Television packages and make more $.
Never had any issues. Hell I've walked through the Bronx to Yankee Stadium from the Hotel wearing my Jays gear with my GF (could tell we weren't from there ) and everything was fine. Though I wouldn't recommend it late at night.
Almost everyone loves Canadians since we are so harmless.
I find the big difference is the Latin American teams cheer super loud in anticipation while Can/USA fans cheer based on the results. It would have been cool to see the support for Cuba and Puerto Rico had they played in Miami. Saw a ton of Puerto Rico hats in the crowd during the weekend.
Just got back from the USA Domincan game. I've been to all the Blue Jays playoff games the last 2 years and a bunch of great regular season games but that game was definitely up there. I'd say top 3 with only the Wildcard and ALDS game 5 topping it and thats as a Jays fan.
100% was the loudest game I've been to. The DR fans are awesome.
Team USA could have been:
C Posey
1B Goldschmidt
2B Turner
SS Seager
3B Donaldson
LF Bryant
CF Trout
RF Betts
DH Harper/Stanton
SP Kershaw, Syndergaard, Scherzer
Nothing stops you from doing this now. You'd potentially run into problems though as brokers have tickets listed on other platforms so while they could go unsold on stubhub they could be sold on a different site that doesn't go off the board as early as stubhub does.
