Paid $150 to watch Cards, got blacked out.

Blackout issues

I just bought an mlb.tv subscription today for my favorite team, the St Louis Cardinals. I live in Columbus, Ohio. I bought it today on my lunch break, I finished work, went to my dart league, came home to pop the game on relax and go to bed. Game is blacked out. Can’t watch on phone, tv, computer, nothing. They are playing in Pittsburgh (got killed). That is THREE hours away from me and is NOT a local market. Cleveland and Cincinnati are the only local markets in my area.

Spend 40 minutes on hold with customer service. Spend another 30 minutes on the phone with them. Our call gets disconnected, they call me back, and then hang up on me.

Spent $150 on a subscription to watch my team and couldn’t watch them day one and wasted over an hour of my life on the phone trying to get a refund.

How can I fix this or get the refund I’m seeking? Am I missing something? The person on the phone said to link my espn app with my mlb.tv account but that didn’t seem to matter…

Starting tonight, the upper right field bleachers at Busch Stadium will become a dedicated high-energy fan section, inspired by the Tarps Off atmosphere fans have brought to the ballpark.

Mommy, why are all their tummies showing?

My 4 year old asked me this while we were watching yesterday's game before bedtime.

"Because the Cardinals have the best fans in all of baseball," I told her.

She looked at me for a moment and then said "Okay. Go Masyn!"

I didn't have the heart to tell her that Winn wasn't playing yesterday. He's her favorite.

Boys aren’t the only ones going Tarps Off out in RF 😂

Spotted in the Cardinals’ IG post about Burly’s homer

Tarps Off all summer!

The Cardinals need to figure out a way to keep this going. The energy this section brought to the entire game was incredible. I haven't felt that since the 06 WS win. This should be a promotion for college students or something. Bring people in and let em rip!!!

The entire NL Central is playing at or above .500 but Pirates fans after losing the opener to the Cardinals…

I mean, Cardinals fans haven’t recovered yet or forgiven ownership or shown faith in Chaim and Oli yet, but even we didn’t get this negative. Good lord. Someone put them on a watch.

MLB network

As a cardinal fan in the suburbs of Chicago I am old school and watch TV with Direct TV. This season Direct TV gifted their subscribers with the entire season of MLB free.

Yay.

However..tonight the game v the Pirates "timed out" in the 9th inning and went to a blue screen.

Is this normal?

Who else remembers

Who else remembers almost exactly 8 years ago (on May 31, 2018) when Yairo Muñoz walked off the Pirates with a 3 run HR, and today on May 19, 2026, Ivan Herrera does the same.

Hell yeah
