Splitting with the Pirates & losing a series to the Cubs has me in a bad mood

Why don’t we play as well at home?

On a more positive note, the Brewers will be doing this....A proud fan.

Who's decision was it for Apple TV to cover this game? They should be fired. Brewers had better be getting MAJOR compensation for this coverage. I don't like the YouTube games either.

Good news is they'll probably score five runs. Bad news is they'll probably give up six

I also recall MLB.TV saying "catch every live, out of market game".  They've decided to change the definition of "out of market" to include "whenever we feel like forcing another streaming service on you" by making this game "unavailable due to blackout restrictions".  Garbage!

What the hell?  Apple TV?  How do we get it in Green Bay??

You really want to lose fans?  Make watching the game incredibly hard.  That will do it.

It's not hard to get on, but you have to sign up for a trial subscription, which I'll ditch when the game's over.

I was hoping for an "Apple TV" option on my DVD player, but alas, no.  Have to watch on my PC.  Just can't do it on tablets or phones.

This game is free to anyone with a phone, tablet, computer or smart TV.  What makes games difficult to watch is forcing people to have cable or dish.

I don't understand.  I signed up, which took like 10 minutes.  I get the audio on the apple tv+ website. But no video.

You don't need a trial subscription, you can get it with a free Apple account.

[Pugger]

This sucks big time.  I sure as hell am not going to get an apple tv account for this crap.

Welcome to my world.

How would you get an apple account on a tv?

[ToolShed55]

Won't load to my cellphone, which I'm usually able to watch MLB.TV on at work. Next week's game will be brought to you, play-by-play by Pony Express....

[Pugger]

I don't want to watch the game on my freaking phone.

Do you have a smart TV or streaming device?  Download the Apple TV+ app, sign up for a free Apple account, watch the game.

[ToolShed55]

I haven't been this frustrated by technology since U2 sent that garbage album to everyone's iTunes account!

Smart TV or Amazon firestick or Roku OR just get it on whatever device you are using to browse Brewerfan and then throw it to your TV on Chromecast or a wireless display

If you have an old TV then you cant watch it on TV.
