Also "your mom's house" isn't a city..... I know it was one of you fucks.
Well, there goes $600. Just ordered this. I should get my DK2 Oculus Rift next month.
Don't worry DodgerBros, I'm going to build a virtual universe where Matt Kemp is good and Vin Scully is immortal.
On Monday, a day after SF swept AZ, ESPN published an article titled What We Learned: The Giants can still catch the Dodgers. Funny how quick things can change.
Edit: It looks like the article was written by the same writer too.
Oh was it an ESPN game?? Guh. No wonder my Unlocator wasn’t working on my laptop. I listened to the whole game via am 570 and honestly this is one of the reasons baseball is so good. I love listening along to this amazing game.
Jesus I made a huge mistake bringing up the "your mom" thing for the survey lol, now it's full of your mom jokes. You guys are cunts. Also, "my dick" isn't baseball equipment you fucks. And I'm not "gaaaaay" lol but seriously last call for the survey
Edit: and no my mom's not gonna be there
In case you missed Vin's interview on the Lebatard Show this morning. Begins around the 32:00 mark.
Highlights: Vin's most embarrassing story was in his third year of announcing, when he tried to say that a batter hit a "hot shot hit foul," but the words didn't quite come out that way.
Most likely. I live in Cleveland so the blackouts for Dodgers game largely don’t impact me or other Dodgerbros across the country, but there are ways around that with Unlocator, and other ways to hide your location.

There’s different VPN services. I went with NordVPN. I signed up for 3 years worth so it averages to like 2.99 a month. There’s other ones that are faster (this one works just fine most of the time). I would sign up for one month of it, and a trial of . Just so you can see how easy it is. I use it on a fire stick on the tv. And on my iPad at work. Super easy!
I feel like everyone who says Kershaw's a choker needs to read this article. He obviously didn't perform up to his standard but if he and the Dodgers have anything to say about it, he'll have his chances to redeem himself. A pitcher with a top 50 all-time ERA isn't going to be giving up 5+ runs in every postseason game simply because "he can't perform in the playoffs."
Visiting from /r/Phillies -
It looks like you're taking this as hard as we are. Loved Ruiz as much (and for many of the same reasons) as you guys loved AJ.
He's going to surprise you. He knows how to work a game like no one else. Tied for first all-time in no-hitters caught with 4 and with Kershaw on the mound I wouldn't be surprised if he got 1 (or 2) more.
He was the most underrated player during our World Series runs in 08' - 09' and didn't have his best year until he was 33. He's a grinder, works as hard as anybody and will be there for you in all of the tough spots. Great leader, humble and will be a great mentor for the young guys in the club house.
I implore you to give these two a read:

Best of luck to ya'll the remainder of this year. Hope you bring one home.
Two things. First, on the bottom, they mention VAT, which is like a sales tax in many countries, but not in the US, meaning the company is most likely located outside the US. Not bad, per se, but something to consider.
Also, I found this site, saying their customer service is sketchy: https://www.sitejabber.com/reviews/mlbjerseys.us
A subscription service that lets you change your DNS address on your devices which changes your "location"...it doesn't work on smartphones, but I use it on my laptop, smart tv, Xbox one & Apple TV
Bought myself 1/2 price special MLB TV for Fathers Day - I'm mothering the kid who made my husband a father - I deserve it!
I'm playing around with VPNs, in hopes of cutting cable, but I can't seem to get it to work on my phone. I've tried Speedify, TunnelBear, and Windscribe. None of them seem to be working. I've tried multiple countries.
I'm headed out to my InLaws (no TWCSpectrum). What should I try next?
Worst case, I wait till we get home, pour some wine then watch the archive.

< I use ProtonVPN and I usually set mine to Israel. If you do download keep in mind many of your apps will think you’re in Israel so if you get ad’s in Hebrew it’s not hacked. It’s helpful for not just tv. It’s good for security. If I go on a legal but sketchy site I use a 2nd layer called secure core. You can see that in pic. Everyone should be using this for every thing. But I’m a security person.
Get MLBtv subscription ($129.99 for all teams or $109.99 for 1 team) and subscribe to Unlocator to use Smart DNS (they have a free trial where you can even sign up without a credit card). Unlocator runs at about $5/month but they have specials all the time. If you don't mind streaming over your computer using a browser, Opera has a free VPN you can use to stream Dodger games through MLBtv which would negate the need for Unlocator.
Yeah no problem! There are so many VPN providers out there but i personally use Private Internet Access. Been using them for years and i've never had any problems.
So pretty much once you sign up for the service, you download their VPN program and install it to your computer. Once you open the program, you simply choose what server (location) you want, this is the server your computer connects to and it changes your location to whatever server you chose. I usually choose Mexico City or any US state that is outside the blackout area for Dodger games.
Although this VPN method works for computers, it doesn't for mobile phones since the app uses your GPS to determine if you are in the blackout zone.
I have a 2 year plan with PIA already but i think if you use [my referral link]( ) it gives you a 30 days free trial, feel free to check it out before commiting to any plans.
I'd avoid Hola Unblocker because of the insecure methods it uses to spoof the location.
I've been using Unlocator ($4.95/month) for a little over three years now and have never been blocked out from any game, whether local or nationally broadcast. I live in Las Vegas so I'm in the epicenter of the NL West blackouts. All you do is setup an account and it walks you through how to change your DNS servers to block the location. It'll work on any device you have and doesn't slow or throttle your connection since no data actually passes through other servers, it's all local.
Honestly, it's the best thing I've ever paid for since I can get every game in the nation including the FOX and ESPN games (plus postseason TV) which are normally blacked out everywhere.
Thanks, bud. HideMyAss Proxies are either blacklisted or don't work. I'll check out the Expat Shield now, though
edit: so far I haven't got video to work using expatshield, maybe I'll try other pc's or browsers as I've failed with Chrome only so far.
Hey!!! I'm letting people still vote and was going to post the final results this Saturday. Here is the most recent survey if you have not voted yet, please do
I've got a raging first place boner today. Just wanted to share that with you all.
I'm a 33 year old happily un-married man with no kids; I do not go to Disneyland. If I were to go anywhere near Disneyland I would go to the ESPN Zone, so that is my favorite ride I guess.
Muncy, because he is incredibly determined. He literally doesn't stop no matter how good or bad things are going or how hard it is for him. He just pushes nonstop. Like he is trying to give birth to a championship.
Reliever, and badly. We have tons of hard hitting infielders. We need a Cub and Snek and Astros killer.
Kemp, that's prolly it. People hate us. Let them hate. We can give most of the team rest.
Bro, I live in Bakersfield. I was born and raised in the heat, you just adopted it for a day.
Though Merkle's is easily the most famous baseball boner, it used to be a common word, as in the Seuss-illustrated "Pocket Book of Boners": https://www.amazon.com/The-Pocket-Book-of-Boners/dp/B000IWG3WY
Lol whaaaatt?!?! My gf brings in her medium size clear bag without any problems. Bag is so big and stuffed that security looks through it sometimes to see whats inside. We’ve gone to 11 games so far with that bag. We went today. this is her bag
You need a VPN. We used MLB TV and Virtual Shield with no issue all last season. I’m sure there are free VPNs that can work too but my roommate paid for it so I’m not complaining. Plus if you have T-Mobile MLB TV is free.
Here are some options.
MLB streams on Reddit (free).
subscription
a. Use with Unlocator ($5/month)
b. Use with Opera browser with built in VPN (free and what I'm currently using)
Unlocator (DNS service) works well with and they have a 1 week free trial without credit card, all you need is an email address. So if all you're looking to do to get the feed working for this particular series, that might be the quickest and easiest way. I can confirm that, uh, a "friend" confirms that unlocator works well with , being able to stream the SNLA stream despite being in LA region.
I use Unblock-Us. I also found it extremely easy to set up and I never have to mess with settings to get it to stream the game that I want. There are probably cheaper alternatives out there, but this one is the one I use.
I used to use the CBSsports app for Android but I don't remember why I stopped using it.. I use theScore app and it's pretty dang nice. You set up your teams and your preferences. For example, you can have it send you a push notification for ANYTHING Dodgers related. This includes breaking news, game starts, game endings, inning per inning updates, etc... Along with Dodger stuff, I get Lakers and Raiders notifications so I use the app year-round.
You should check it out, it's totally free too.
EDIT: Andoid link to app
Best sandwich I've ever had in my life was in Florence.
The cured meats there are out of this world. What a city.
Anyone know how today's mild winds might affect this afternoon's game?
10mph NE around 5-6 tonight. After 6ish, it should start slowing down to 6 or 7 mph.
LAST DAY TO FILL OUT THE #2 SURVEY
After today I'm going to analyze the results and find a park with a date. I can say that unless a major vote shift happens it's looking like the date is going to be 6/13. Which is a good thing because that is an away game day. Also I left W. Convina as a possible location and people are still voting for it. It has about 3x more votes than the next city. So if you voted for Big League Dreams (this has been canceled due to price) but don't want to play in another park in Covina, I suggest you go and re vote. Please remember that this is a majority vote. If you live in bum fuck nowhere I'm sorry. I'm driving from San Diego to set this stuff up so we are all on the shit boat together
REMEMBER TO FILL OUT THE SECOND SURVEY FOR THE SOFTBALL MEETUP
Sadly to say Big League Dreams is out of the question. They want 500 bucks an hour and I don't like you guys thaaaaaat much. So you can re vote. I still left Covina there as a choice city wise. So far it's looking like the 2nd week of June or July. Keep voting so I can be accurate. Also if you voted for Big League Dreams, please go back and re-vote!!!
I spent the weekend making a game for global game jam.

I somehow missed that Colon story two years ago....wow. I will never understand how a person with a beautiful and devoted spouse can't be faithful. Then again I despise meaningful relationships because of a majorly fucked up relationship I had a while ago so I guess that is they way those things go these days. At least he has the money to afford those women's desires I guess.
Every game is going to have a minute long standing O for him, even if he wins every game for us. I expect Philly to give him the send off he deserves.
Honey, I smoke weed. I'm at maximum cool all the time.
Witch? You're too friendly to be a witch (at least on here :P). Let's go with baseball genie. Or baseball Great Gazoo. Hmm. Anyway, I want to play 3B because it will mean I am hitting for power and I will not be bored in the outfield.
90 degrees is not hot. Call me when you hit 100. Albeit it will be muggy with the humidity.
I share your pain. At least you have baseball, we don't even have a minor league team anymore. Closest AAA team to me is for the Houston Astros.....I'd be kicked out for sure.
Do they still have that buffalo statue out front of the stadium there?
Sup Dodger bros. Hope we can rain on the Cubs parade today, which might not be that difficult.
I don't despise the Cubs, but last year's NLCS still hurts a little.
Watched baseball and got school done.
My brother and I usually take the Metro Gold line to Union Station and then take the Dodger Bus to the stadium.
4-3 to start the year while the Giants are 2-5. Let's keep it up!
If Kershaw doesn't get any slack for this loss (which people bring up as part of his like 0-37 postseason record), then MadBum doesn't get any slack for this one! I mean, it's an NL park, the dude could have hit a home run.
there has to be a market for cuter looking clear tote bags than this stadium approved clear tote bag
We use Unlocator VPN. It has a mobile app too so I can use it on my phone and watch games. Also let’s you have it setup to your router by changing the DNS so whoever is connected to your wifi can watch any game on MLB TV, including the app on our tv.
Just get Unlocator, it works perfectly. 7 day free trial that just requires an email address and no credit card so that you can see for yourself. They give you a step by step guide on how to set up your router (they have instructions for different routers). Setup only took me like a few minutes. I only stopped using it because you can't beat free, but watching it on the TV is nice for sure.
Officially, is only for "out-of-market" games. Dodgers games are exclusive to SportsNetLA, which you can only get with Spectrum (formerly Time Warner Cable) TV service, if you're within the territory (which is surprisingly large, including Vegas i think..). However, most people are able to use despite the restriction with a smart dns service (like Unlocator) or VPN to bypass the geo-lock. That being said, it seems based on recent feedback from folks that mlb has somehow caught on and these are not working to bypass it anymore. Hopefully there will be a fix soon. Until then, r/MLBStreams should suffice.
Just got home from work, made myself a couple hot dogs and set up Unlocator on my tv. Got the stream queued up now and waiting for some Dodger baseball to start.
time to do as much homework as possible because once that feed kicks in i'll be too deep into baseball to care about anything else.
Awesome step-by-step! Very cool, dude.
If you're willing to pay just a bit more, you can get an even more seamless experience.
I use . They gave me step-by-step instructions on how to set up my Xbox360 to watch Dodger games even though I'm within the blackout area. UnLocator is doing the same job as Hola. It's $5/month, however.
Why you may like my Unlocator solution better
Once you've set it up, you watch via your Xbox360 (or whatever) from that point on. It will be full screen, HD (not sure if Chromecast does) , plus the use of whatever you have for a remote (like, your XBox controller).
You don't need to worry about Hola going away, out of business, being detected by , etc. Since Unlocator is a pay site, they're always adjusting to make sure it works.
Why you may NOT like my Unlocator solution better
With my new job I have had almost no time to watch spring training action. Finally got a chance to be at my apartment and set up and Unblock-Us.
Currently sitting in front of my tv watching the shiny new graphics and waiting for some Dodger baseball. Pretty good day.
Dude fuck the Nats. Let's sweep them.
I think the answer to all of our problems is to just physically buy a huge bat and put it in the dugout. (This one should do.) Then when people say "When are the Dodgers going to get a big bat?" we can say we already did.
Eh. Too bad he didn't pan out while he was here, but I think we'll be all right.
Why Frias? Who even knows man. (Though to be fair, I think I remember he would have been in the conversation for the fifth starting spot if not for an injury, so maybe they just figured call him up and give him a shot.)
Ha, ha! ^^Though ^^in ^^all ^^honesty ^^I ^^think ^^I ^^kinda ^^like ^^the ^^Sharks ^((but to be fair I don't care about hockey))
I'm here right now -- all hot all the time... It's actually really pleasant in the evenings and early mornings! The day, not so much. All sunscreen all the time.
Edit: Currently watching Notorious by Alfred Hitchcock but tons of Dodger highlights and commercials and movies on schedule with options to add videos yourself!
Second Edit: Channel closed for the time being but post game tonight will have some good programming going on, maybe vote on a movie
>Please note that the MLB app for IOS and Android is not supported due to the use of location services, which can’t be bypassed. This includes Fire Stick/TV, Nexus Player, Kindle and any other Android based device.

It’s a service that will mask your location so you can get around the MLB Tv app local blackouts. I personally use ExpressVPN. Basically on my phone I have the VPN and the MLB TV app, before a game I turn off wifi on my phone, launch the vpn and pick a “fake” location outside the US, then launch the MLB TV app and launch the blackout game I want to watch.
I got it as part of T-Mobile Tuesdays, so it was free for me.
It's $129.99 for all teams for the season. Blackouts apply (i.e. Dodgers in the LA area), but you can get around that with a VPN. I use TunnelBear, but I hear Nord VPN, Express VPN, basically anything else will also be fine. You can do your own research and make your own judgment. See r/VPN for more!
My (paid) Norton 360 subscription came with a VPN too (I didn't realize it had this feature until after I bought my TunnelBear sub, heh) and it works fine too.
Just remember that if your VPN is free, YOU are the product. Don't trust free VPN's!
I got it a few years ago at a Chevron gas station in LA. I hevent seen them there in a while. There is a seller who has em at Amazon too.
Which VPN company was it? Are you able to set it by location? I noticed that ExpressVPN and setting it to European countries wasn’t working for me, but I used a different app and set it to NY then it worked.
It's probably an issue with your VPN cz CyberGhost is working for me.
Check it out:
Awesome! Might go tomorrrow to pick one up. What’s the inside look like? All photos?
Edit: Was looking online and found it onAmazon, same price: Los Angeles Times Commemorative Issue DODGERS: 2020 World Series Champions https://www.amazon.com/dp/1547856564/
If you already have McAfee you already have access to VPNs or I personally like NordVPN.
Edit: If MLBStreams is still around that might work.
this is the one i got from amazon, it includes the net and a tee. If you can afford it, I would just get the net and then a better tee separately.
I have a similar set up to this dude with , but instead of a VPN I used a service called Unlocator. It's a "smart DNS" service. VPN will slow your internet speed about 10-20%, but changing your DNS will not as you keep your same IP and there's no VPN tunnel. I've been using it for years, but again no iPad or Firestick support. But the MLB app on my Samsung TV works.
I made the switch to spectrum last year but still pay for and Unlocator so I cam watch games while I’m on the road. I think Unlocator doesn’t work anymore? Is there another option that is not super technical? (I could do the mlb streams)
This exact issue happened to me and I emailed support for a fix. Here’s the instructions that worked for me.
On a PC and do the following:
When done, restart your devices, and try again. Mine has been working fine ever since.
Hey I was struggling with this all season. The issue is now that MLB TV caught wind of "Unlocator" and other Smart DNS proxies they now require you to have a geographic location associated with the stream. Smart DNS is not the same as VPN because it doesn't actually show your IP tagged from another specific location it just masks it. The other issue is that while your computer can use a VPN an apple TV cannot unless you get a VPN Router.
Basically what I did is bought an Express VPN account and then bought a Linksys router that was compatible with the ExpressVPN firmware. From there you download the firmware, hook up your Apple TV to the VPN router and voila, it bypasses all blackouts because your VPN can now say it's from (insert country here) overall I spent a good amount of money but now have 0 issues with watching the dodgers on my apple TV. A long workaround but doable if you wanna put some coin in. Hope this helps!
I've alternated between Unlocator and Adfreetime. Had mixed success with each. Failed for me last night. Probably doesn't have anything to do with it being on ESPN, since the remote DNS location is international. Using Adfreetime right now, but I heard Unlocator fixed their problem. Going to look into VPN's if Adfreetime doesn't get it together.
Bought a D-Link Router, flashed it so I could install a VPN (I use NordVPN; flashing was tedious but there are tutorials online), then I just go onto the VPN’d WiFi with my Xbox One and run with no issues.
works and is $30 for the year. Unlocator works, too. Adfreetime completely refuses to respond to anyone about anything, so I dumped them. It's a shame, too, because it worked so well last year for such a good price.
I tested adfreetime last night on the Angels game (since the Dodgers were on ESPN) and it didn't work. I'm gonna try the Dodgers tonight and see but if it's true that it doesn't work anymore, I'm gonna be in the same boat. Might have to try the Unlocator free trial.
Your best bet is to find a friend who has tmobile. Get the free MLBtv subscription and sign up for an Unlocator subscription. Finding streams on reddit/online is a time consuming and frustrating hassle.
Subscribe to a Smart DNS/proxy service. Unlocator is a good reliable one, but it's a bit pricey imo and there are others. Set it up at the router level, so whatever device you use (whether it be a roku, PC, Firestick, etc.) it'll work.
Often, VPNs are also mentioned (and should work) but they work a little bit differently than a smart proxy. They are also a bit trickier to set up at the router level. Smart proxy doesn't slow your connection down, it's almost exclusively for location-spoofing. Meanwhile, a VPN would offer encryption and other security features you may or may not desire for this specific purpose.
Guys help me. MLBtv instantly stopped working on my Samsung Smart TV. I live in LA so I use Unlocator and it has been working perfectly until now. It just goes to black screen each time I run MLBtv. I updated Unlocator and even reset Smart Hub and kept changing my internet but it still doesn't work.
Unlocator is a good site to use that has a step by step video on how to setup the dns for a bunch of consoles. I used to use unblock-us but then my Netflix wouldn't work. best 5 bucks/month I can spend.
Well, I've decide to either head down to Anaheim and see the Astros play, or head over to Bob's in Burbank to catch the car show, grab some grub, drive along Mulholland Dr. and watch the game on my laptop back in my room. Thank you PureVPN for the 5 years for $60 deal I got last year
Try logging in to your Unlocator account on the website, then go to Region Settings. Under Region Changer (top option), try changing to USA-BETA and hit Update Location on the right-hand side. Once I did this I never had issues with simultaneous usage of Netflix and .
Let me know if that works! :)
Last year was my first using Unlocator. Fairly seamless and was able to catch every game. However, received at least 2 emails from that they "detected unauthorized use" or something about circumvention of blackout rules and would either shut down my subscription or charge me extra. Ultimately nothing happened. Did anyone else receive these "threat" emails?
Zenmate, the extension for Chrome, can be used to make websties think you're accessing the site from other countries. That's what I do.
Also an option: use SlingTV's 7-day free trial to get the playoff channels (though the video stutters a fair bit, which is very annoying).
Bam! That looks like the move. The dude on the post I read earlier recommended ZenMate, but he also said any VPN (apparently except evil Hola) would work, and I've read good things about Unlocator, so I'll check it out. Thanks for the recommendation, my guy!
I don't like un-locator and similar spoofing services because it routes traffic through their DNS servers, so I believe if they want to, they can intercept all your web traffic--email, banking, web browsing, all of it. I'm not saying they do (they insist they don't), but it is definitely lowering your security. It also means hackers can possibly intercept your data.
Instead I used the Tunnel Bear chrome extension that does the same thing without requiring you to change your DNS settings. It offers 500MB/month for free. Last year I found that only needs Tunnelbear to be on when you initiate the game stream. You can turn on Tunnelbear, start , then turn off Tunnelbear. The stream works fine from that point on and you can easily stay under the free 500MB cap. Or, if you want unlimited data, it's $5/month.
TunnelBear has a VPN service as well, but I find the Chrome extension easier, cheaper, and safer.
Private Internet Access (one of the best VPNs out there) is on sale for $32/year today:
Another happy Unlocator customer here. You can make the changes at the router level so then every device in the house works despite being in blackout territory.
For those with Chromecast, I recently discovered that I can cast Dodger games from my iphone to the TV (rather than using the glitchy PS3 app) as long as you select the Chromecast icon before selecting the Dodger game. It must check the Chromecast's IP (outside of US thanks to Unlocator) instead of the phone's.
Tried it and didn't really care for it. Plus, I'm too frugal. I've been using Zenmate, the Chrome extension, and it's been an absolute life saver. Great quality and really easy to use (not to mention free).
If you use Chrome for your internet browser download an extension called Zenmate. In Zenmate you can set your location for several different international locations and receive the Dodger game without it being blacked out. I've been setting my location for London and it has been working great. I am at 30 mbps for my internet location and it has been HD quality. Hope this helps.
Amen
Good. Doing whatever the hell I want to do as long as it is in budget, no excuses.

I was using tons of streaming services over the last several years, and pretty much all of them got shut down.
My buddy recommended purchasing NordVPN (since it has an app for iOS and android) and it’s worked amazingly on my iPhone with mlbtv. It’s a life changer. The tv has been more tricky recently; lots of clearing cache, reinstalling apps, etc, but other than that it’s been smooth.
I use Mullvad VPN and I can usually find a server in San Jose that works for me, which is great because it is closer and should reduce latency.
Mullvad is also nice because you can pay by the month if you want, so I only pay for it when I use it and they are super privacy-focused, so they don't track anything.
Note, when you select a location, you can get a list of servers at that location, so you may have to go through a few different servers to find one that works. But I have been using the same server for a few months now without issue.
> I've heard rumors that there are VPN-type solutions for faking your location, as a way to get around blackouts.
I can confirm that I've heard those same rumors. I specifically overheard that Mullvad VPN works great this year.

There’s also this collectors edition which is currently twice the cost but for $24 you also get 8 full games including the entire WS.
There are free ones available, but they don’t always work. The subscription services work the best. I use ExpressVPN. You pretty much just turn it on either browser or in the app and set your location. Then use your browser or apps normally but your location will be spoofed.
Check out Unlocator smart dns. They also sell a VPN but you don’t need it. You can change the DNS settings on his smart TV one time, and it’ll get around the blackout most days without messing anything else up. Every now and then catches on and blocks it for a few days, but so far it’s always started working again before too long.
Do you like reading? I’d read Jon Weismann’s book: https://www.amazon.com/Things-Dodgers-Fans-Should-Before/dp/1629379158. Not sure where you live or how old you are but going to a sports bar to watch games (any baseball game) and chatting with people is good. Going to a game with family and asking lots of questions good as well! Not sure if this helps but have fun!

I have season tickets on the field level Aisle 21, Row L, Seats 1-4. We're right behind the Dodgers dugout. We usually get shade around the 7th inning for 1pm games. It can be a bit brutal on really hot days. Bring hats, sunscreen, and maybe a mister or fan, and defintely ear muffs for the kid. That new sound system is so loud I've been bringing ear plugs for myself
The bag that I’ve taken is 12x12x6 and we enter just fine. This the one we bought. Works great carry’s alot
