The Twins' deal with Bally Sports was set to expire after the 2023 season and the team was looking into alternatives anyway with the death of cable and Bally Sports not playing nice with YouTube and Hulu. They’re prepared for whatever comes next. This should end with the Twins being more accessible on TV.

Matt they are still on Uzzu.

That's illegal.

Totally isn't.

Of course it is. And I posted plenty of reasons why in the past. First and foremost is that they don't have deals for most of the content they provide.

But like I said before, if you want to use, make sure you always have a VPN running and don't pay for it with a regular credit card. As an end user, you most likely won't get in legal trouble when they get shut down - you're too small of a fish. But your personal and credit card info is absolutely at risk if you aren't careful.

1) Go to MXToolbox.com. This is how you check legit companies out in the IT world.
1b) Type in Uzzu.tv and you will see it runs off of Amazon Web Services (AWS). As long as that is happening I don't agree with DL at all. It is running off of a legit Website in this country. You use a VPN if you are running a illegal link you find off of reddit. You can choose to use a VPN if you are that worried.

2) If you are worried or scared for your credit card use a virutal card number (provided by Citi Card as example) which you should use for any purchase over the Internet or by phone anyway.

You don't know a thing about spring training.

Spring training is for giving lots of guys at bats. What don't you get about that?

Yeah other guys can play first etc etc

it's so weird to constantly see first base at bats by a beer league ex-brewer

Amazon does not watchdog their AWS. Anyone can use it and it is used for a ton of illegal activities. They have a huge disclaimer that they are not responsible for what their servers are used for. They're strictly storage and tech support.

Let me ask you a simple question:

DirecTV pays the NFL 1.5 BILLION per year for exclusive rights to air out of market NFL games. Next year its moving to YouTube TV for 2 BILLION dollars.

So how does your "legal" site air all games? Including those that would be blacked out? Do you really believe that every major sports leagues would waive their ironclad blackout policies for uzzu.tv

They don't have a deal with the NFL or a sub license with DirecTV. Nor would either entity devalue their product exponentially by doing so.

It's illegal. They are outside of the country. Any site that's homepage leads off with "Watch content in 1080p Quality. We have official commercial-free feeds. There are no lagging and annoying ads that everyone hates. We are 100% legal and based in States."

"and based in States" That's not even proper English - and no legit company with billions of dollars worth of content would start off their site like that. The entire site is full of spelling and grammatical errors that would never get through proofing or legal. It was clearly put together by people that are not native English speakers.

That means nothing about the legality!!!

It just means they're good with security and that they likely aren't dumping malware onto your stuff.

It's still pirated content.

I'm not telling you don't use it, just don't come here touting how its legal when it's 100% not.

I've been in the Entertainment business for 27 years. I have friends in the legal departments of 4 Movie/TV studios and 3 Major Sports front offices. I know where I'm coming from here.

Did you mention malware and VPN in your first post? I guess I could look again.

I said there is always a danger of it with unlicensed software - especially when you're streaming illegal feeds. And I advised using a VPN and and a "safe" card as a precaution.

That in no way changes the main point that its all pirated.

Again, there is literally no way that they have ability to legally provide everything they do at any price - let alone for 120.00/year.

Watch Unlimited NFL, MLB, NHL & NBA Games for 1 Year. No Blackouts.

One more time "No Blackouts". That's not something that any of the 4 sports provides at any price. But some rinky-dink company with an app that you need to "side load" onto your device (because its illegal!) is capable of offering it?

And now Francis Peguero is pitching for the Dominican. He came to the #MNTwins last offseason with Sonny Gray for Chase Petty. He struck out the Twins in order, and after sitting 94-96.5 against the first two batters, he tossed 4 pitches over 97.1 mph to Yunior Severino.

Nice to see the #MNTwins letting many of their younger prospects from the Dominican play today. Has to be fun for guys like Gregory Duran, Yunior Severino, Yoyner Fajardo, Danny De Andrade, Em Rodriguez, Rafael Cruz, Rubel Cespedes, Ismael Perez, Reynaldo Madrigal.

Really good outing

The Athletic had an article on Sonny that he thought he had 2-3 weeks extra to prepare/throw for 2022 and it ended up being 2-3 days to report and he hadn't started his throwing program. So he was way behind last year.

I finally got over to see a game yesterday. Ober looked really good. Has the over under one out yet on innings pitched before a shoulder strain puts him on the shelf for a month? Larnach had some good swings. Same thing. Will his abdominal muscles allow him to swing free for a full season? Sabato Gigante looked like a lumbering oaf.

Ober's problems haven't been his shoulders.

It's been his groin.

I have the Flex plan and also purchased a couple of $4 ticket games, but I saw an offer I would jump at if it fit my schedule better.

$49 a month to attend all games. You don't get an assigned seat, but who cares. Seems like a great offer.
