if you could buy games in different installments. Give me access to 10 live games for $20 and then let me buy more after. That way some summer months when I have more opportunity I may watch 10 + games but for the most part I will sit down to 2-3 games a week at the most 1 of which is probabaly not on yes.
Or even every game for $1.99 at time I sit down to watch probably cheaper in the long run.
In reality with baseball being an everyday sport and games also on amazon, Fs1, Fox, Apple, mlb, peacock amd whatever else, spending $20 a month plus needing 4 or 5 other services is stupid.

They aren’t going to do that, financially that makes no sense for them.
basic streaming package (YouTube tv etc) and add in the msg and yes network streams and you’re almost at every Yankee/giant/Knick game (not to mention hockey too). I just haven’t done the math to see whether it is worth it.
I’ve been dying to get rid of cable. The picture quality on my brand new tv is shit with the cable box and it’s 1000x better whenever I use a streaming service (Disney plus, YouTube, hbo etc).
Might be paralysis by analysis though since I’m not spending all that much on cable comparatively (we have optimum and we just call and threaten to cancel every time our rate goes up-literally have been at 160 a month ever since for all networks and hbo) so it may be a complete waste of time. But interesting discussion.
which I kind of forgot about-you definitely won't need YES other than the 7 months the yankees are on, and for me I wouldn't need MSG other than the 7 months that the Knicks are on. So that cuts off 5 months pricewise. Makes it even less. I was just assuming I'd get the yearly to save off the monthly but obviously not.
at the higher price point rather than a yearly subscription to MLB.TV for either $129 (one team only) or $149 (all games except for in-market team)?
Is this because MLB.TV blacks out Yankee games to NYC residents or am I missing some other advantage?
Yes, I’m in market in New Haven county so I’m blacked out on MLB TV. My only option until now is to have cable which I dropped last year.
As a boy growing up in New Haven during the pre-cable era, my family got all the NYC stations for free with a roof-top antenna. It seems like some kind of antenna would still work.
I’m sure I can figure out but ease of use trumps all for me
and I don’t mind paying for it. I’d like to be able to load up an app on the go, stream it outside on my projector, or watch in my bedroom. Too many limitations or annoyances with antennas and VPN.
I'm not seeing any pricing info on the YES site. I'm out-of-market, and I'm curious to know how much it would cost to see all the Yankee games as well as pre- and post-game commentary. I have no interest in the Nets or anything else. As I am in the Rays' market, all of the NY/TB games are blacked out on the mlb.tv package I've been subscribing to each year. I don't care about paying a little bit of extra $$ for YES, but would I get all games broadcast on YES if I were to subscribe?
Final question: If I were to buy a YES package, would I be able to cancel mlb.tv on this, the day before the season opens? Too bad YES didn't make this announcement a month ago.
