May 21st FS1 MLB Game is blacked out?

[Deadlocked]

I'm pretty sure all games shown on FS1 are national (even if it's split between several games none of them should be blacked out) and I don't live anywhere near Arizona or St Louis.

It's very rare for my D-Backs to get national games, throw me a bone here Dish!

Yes, they also black out your favorite team in addition to your local team.

Maybe they're just saving our eyes from the horrid pitching by the "stars" we signed over the summer...

I would wait till it gets a little closer to worry it's blacked out for Ct also and it's obviously the National game or at at least the main one.

Yeah I usually wait but I know DIRT has been on and off the hot seat here so I wanted to give them time to see this and report it as opposed to say on Friday or the day of.

Just checked the guide. The game is blacked out here ( Charlotte DMA) as well. I don't understand this.
As in the past, a query to the MLB offices will be fruitless.
Quite frankly I think it is time to end these archaic sports blackouts.

I feel it's just a mistake

This is the wrong place to complain about blackouts. Dish has no control over them and neither do any other providers. If you want to complain then go to the MLB and do it. They make the deals with the networks.

Actually Dish makes up their own black out rules.
Many times I've seen Dish blackout games when Directv has had them in the same market.
You would be surprised.

Yeah, this reminds me of what happened to the Warriors earlier this season when they were on ESPN. I live in the Sacramento DMA which is not Warriors territory, it's Kings territory which is our home team. So technically we should get all national Warriors game and that was blacked out on two occasions if I remember correctly. One time it was on NBA League Pass so I got to watch it but the other time it was not, it was purely an ESPN national game and was blacked out. No real rhyme or reason to it. Part of it could be that ESPN started acquiring rights to Warriors games last minute when their season was on fire.

I knew they had a strategy I just couldn't figure it out. Thanks for cracking the code for me!!!!!!!
