WTF MLB? Baseball Strikes Out With Its Streaming Policies.: Iowa is supposed to be heaven for baseball fans – 'Field of Dreams' and all that. But if you want to stream MLB games, it's a virtual hell.

I've thought of MLB as one of the more savvy leagues where online broadcasting is concerned. The league has been in that space for longer than any other sport. It's pretty absurd for MLB to torpedo its own Internet streaming by putting no checks on a team's ability to claim an area as its home TV market. Guam, really?

Charlotte, NC is in a thin zone through the western piedmont area that gets no Baltimore, Atlanta or Cincinnati games. Cincinnati? WTF? And the last time I subscribed to MLB.tv, Baltimore and Washington games were blacked out. I wonder if that still holds and if so, if Charlotte gets no Washington games either.
