They're probably blacking out for you there.

Columbus is in the blackout zone for the Reds, Indians, & Pirates.

Doesn't matter. From MLB's point of view, since you're in the Pirates viewing area, you should be watching the local Pirates broadcast (even though you probably don't have access to it).

I usually really like Costas but god he's being a doucher tonight. I know he has to tote the company line, but we don't need to go overboard.

Lame. Literally no one in my area is a Pirate fan - Pittsburgh might as well be in California.

Could be worse. Take a look at Iowa and southern Nevada (including Las Vegas). Literally 20% of MLB teams are blacked out. If none of the 6 teams are playing each other, that means 12 teams in a night are blacked out.

An inning's worth of Kerry Wood talk.

Those MLB Blackouts are truly amazing

Looks like Strasburg has single-handedly crashed MLB.tv's servers.

Indeed. There are some blackouts on there that make Columbus-Pittsburgh look sensible. Charlotte, NC is blacked out of Baltimore & Cincinnati games. Mobile, AL is blacked out of Florida (Miami) games. What?

Gotta take into account they're playing the Pirates and no one in the lineup has seen him before. That said, the Pirates make everyone but the Cubs look good.

I don't know if it would really matter who he were facing tonight. This stuff's been unreal. Now 13 K.

[Clapp]

Struck out the side the last 2 innings. Going to be done with 7 innings, 14 K, 0 BB. Yeah, I'd say he's okay.

Motherfucker can actually beat the Pirates...we should trade someone for him.
