It stops, but football fills the void amazingly well.
Yep.

Usually it takes an Alabama national title to soothe somewhat the Atlanta Braves breaking my heart 42 times in 44 seasons (even with the loss, 1991 was about as close to absolute paradise and joy as one can get without winning it all).

And then remember I'm a Falcons fan.......

Well it’s really a NS issue. But the government prevented Disney from buying all the Fox stuff and Sinclair got the remaining pieces. Oh and they are renaming the FOX sports to Bally. But for today’s game I believe you can watch it on ESPN 3.
I think it is on ESPN+ which again you need a subscription.

yep but looking at the schedule it looks like we have a lot of ESPN and ESPN + games this month. I really didn’t want to get back with xfinity programming but I may be forced to.
I still will not do it. I will just miss a lot of Braves baseball this year. I hate listening on the radio and I just don't need to be spending money on luxuries like this. Maybe if I get some steady income I will, but not right now.

Correction. You still can’t watch it with ESPN + due to black out.

To make matters worse I’m in a VA waiting room listening to all the conspiracy theories about the COVID vaccine from a chatty annoying woman. I was seriously hoping to Atleast be able to watch a few innings to take my mind off of it.

I’m in hell...

Yep, if it is airing on your local regional sports network, it will be blacked out everywhere else. These even goes for games on MLB Network when they are also airing on regional networks. I hope MLB feels the pinch hard because of Sinclair's greed. That is the only way things will ever change, it has to hurt not just Sinclair, but MLB, which will filter down and hurt the players as well. That is when change will happen.

The problem is that Fox Sports is not even going to hurt them. The NBA and NHL had to suffer through this crap and Sinclair didn’t buckle.

The MLB will have to take back broadcast rights to do something and I have a feeling that is an enormous asking price.

Fried is struggling - has thrown 64 pitches through 3 innings. Braves trail 2-0.

Its typical. We always suck game 1 and we never have hit Nola in the stretch

We will destroy Wheeler and probably out battle Eflin but by god we make Nola look like the 12 time reigning Cy Young.

Not taking any pitches. The Braves are trying to hit 3 run home runs with no one on base with every pitch thrown.
