Game tonight only on Apple TV

I took 2 trips to Colorado this winter.

The first I drove. I got a caught in a speed trap before sunup and the yokels who flushed my brakes the day before got air in the system. Wasn’t so obvious going across Texas, but in the mountains it was a little exciting. Took it to a shop there who fixed it.

The second trip was spring break. We flew. Got gouged by airline. Got gouged (fucking gouged I tell ya) by rental car company.

Airport/plane behavior wasn’t bad, but in the rental car line a dude bursts in yelling across the lobby that there’s no car in his assigned spot and he’s been waiting so many minutes yadayada. He gets attended to, comes back with some other issue. Finally he comes in a third time with his head about to explode. ‘How about you give me a key’ and tosses the fob on the counter. The worker calmly takes the fob, pushes the button and the key springs out. The dude was incapable of speech at that point.

In short I would have preferred to have driven the second time. But maybe that’s because I just don’t want to be around people.

To see the game tonight, I had to signup for apple tv again.

BTW, what are some of the recommended show on Apple TV? I liked season one of, Your Friends and Neighbors, I guess I’ll start with its season two.

Am I nuts or did there used to be a way to sync the local radio to the broadcast?

Yes there was a way to sync.

This is the wrong crowd to assess the other part of your question.

So that’s an option I no longer have? The sync button that is. I always have the option, and opportunity, for the former.

I’ve seen Ted Lasso, I loved it at first but the more I saw the less I liked it. also saw the first season for Slow Horses, I liked it a lot.

If they took that option away I’m not watching any more games on Apple. Can’t do it.

This and Slow Horses are favorite Apple offerings.

Still haven’t seen Shrinking but haven’t heard anyone who hasn’t liked it.

The Friday night Apple tv games are (or were) blacked out for international MLB tv subscribers, the last (I think) couple of seasons I had MLB tv the blackouts pissed me off a bit and I would email them saying what’s up with that? The T&Cs said no blackouts for international subscribers and apple games were not mentioned but they never responded to the emails. In 2023 they started blacking out playoffs games too, we had to wait for about an hour after the game ended to stream it, this really pissed me off so I sent more mails asking them what the story was. After several emails I got a reply that said they would refund part of the subscription (some really random amount like $17.85 or something), but no explanation or apology or anything silly like that. I sent them more emails saying thanks, but it still doesn’t solve my problem that I can’t watch live games… still waiting for them to get back to me on that. So that, plus all the rule changes brought in about that time is the story of why I think MLB is just a bunch of dirty lowdown motherfuckers.

No, the radio option is still there. Our household used it last night.

With season four of Ted Lasso starting on Wednesday, it was a perfect time for me to pay for Apple TV+ to watch last night’s game. I’ll have to check out some of the other recommendations in this thread.
