With little warning, fans in places such as the U.K., Australia, Mexico, Canada,
and the Netherlands found out that they are unable to watch the 2022 Major Leag
ue Baseball postseason on the league’s stream service, MLB.TV creating anger an
d a flurry of fans attempting to get questions answered.
在几乎没有预警的情况下
来自英国、澳洲、墨西哥、加拿大、荷兰等地的海外球迷
发现自己无法使用MLB.TV收看今年的季后赛
这也点起了球迷们的怒火，想要得到联盟的解释
With the postseason about to start, Thursday international customers were inform
ed that due to blackout policies with broadcast partners they would be blacked o
ut on the streaming service and would need to watch on television, leaving cord-
cutters or never-corders being forced to potentially pay extra for those network
streaming packages.
美国时间周四，海外球迷才获知这个被blackout的消息
这迫使它们必须透过电视、或是额外再花一笔钱去买本国的平台
才能看到比赛
EX.英国就要去买BT Sport

League Responds; Black Lifted For Remainder Of Wild Card Series
Late on Friday, a league spokesperson replied that the reason for the blackouts
was due to exclusivity agreements with international broadcast partners reached
ahead of the season, and that as part of those agreements more games had been ad
ded, including postseason games.
接着是联盟的回复:
这次海外blackout的原因
是由于联盟在季前和海外各国的转播平台签订了独家的转播合约
而这合约中包含了更多的比赛，其中包括了季后赛
结论:
海外独家转播合约合约→所以MLB.TV不能播→blackout
MLB is offering refunds to those fans affected. They can do so by contacting the
league’s customer service through the following email address: customerservice
@mlb.com.
联盟开放受影响的球迷退费
而目前联盟是把外卡战的blackout全部取消了
