Baseball season is here, baby, and you need your MLB fix. But here's the rub: you're stuck in blackout city, yearning for games that your local channels just don't offer.

Extra Innings? More Like Extra Awesome!
Now, Extra Innings might sound like a mysterious baseball side quest, but it's actually a superhero in disguise. It's a service offered by many cable and satellite providers that grants you access to a treasure trove of out-of-market MLB games. We're talking about hundreds of games, folks, enough to fill your summer with baseball bliss.
But here's the thing: Extra Innings alone doesn't get you streaming access. That's where MLB.TV comes in, the streaming service that lets you watch all those juicy out-of-market games on your computer, phone, tablet, or whatever screen your heart desires.
The Big Hookup: Marrying Extra Innings with MLB.TV
Now, before you imagine Extra Innings and and MLB.TV slow-dancing under the stadium lights, the process is actually quite simple. Here's the lowdown:
-
Check Your Cable/Satellite Provider: First things first, make sure your cable or satellite provider offers Extra Innings as part of their package. A quick call to customer service or a peek at their website should clear that up.
-
Link Up Your Accounts: If you're rocking both Extra Innings and an MLB.com account (it's free to create one!), then it's time for the magic to happen. Head over to the MLB.TV website and look for the section on linking your Extra Innings subscription. Use the same email address for both accounts and voila! You've unlocked the streaming gatekeeper.
-
Download the MLB App (Optional, But Highly Recommended): Once you've linked your accounts, you can access MLB.TV through a web browser. But let's be real, who wants to be chained to their computer when there's baseball to be watched on the go? Download the free MLB App on your phone or tablet, sign in with your MLB.com credentials, and you're good to go!
Now, here's the most important part: Sit back, grab your favorite ballpark snack (cheetos are a perfectly acceptable choice, don't judge), and prepare to be bombarded with baseball bliss. Out-of-market games? No problem! Replays of those heart-stopping moments? You bet!
With Extra Innings and MLB.TV, you're basically a baseball-watching VIP. So go forth and conquer the season, my friend. Just remember, with great baseball power comes great responsibility... the responsibility to share those epic highlights with your friends (and maybe brag a little about your newfound access to MLB nirvana).
