So MLB sells Extra Innings as a "see every out of market game live" channel and then sells out to NBC and Peacock for every game on a holiday weekend. Blatantly false advertising.

Yes, but its not D* ...
It's MLB
Even the MLB.TV package is blacked out for everyone ...
However, your Local team looks to be available on NBC Sports Net
Unless your the Over Exposed Yankees, in which you were on the OTA NBC
no they weren't. The first two innings were though as the Braves/Mets game was rain delayed
When have they said that recently? There are plenty of exceptions for each team with Peacock, AppleTV and Netfilx having some games. Heck the MN Twins (the team I sub to) has had SEVEN games on "national spots" (AppleTV and Peacock) in May, June and today. I dont remember in April if they had any (and it doesnt show that online)
Well, when I flipped on NBC and looked in the guide, just said Yankees Braves were scheduled.
NBC had Mets @ Braves scheduled today, Twins @ Yankees was listed as a Peacock only:

Hmmm ...
Doesn't really matter, I wanted to watch the Tigers or Astros ... seeing I have MLB .TV, I should be able to ... except of the Greed these new Services want (I guess they all want )
IF you have a Package that gives you ALL the Games, it should give you ALL the games, if it's on Peacock or Amazon or whoever, it should still be on MLB.TV ...
I don't remember seeing anything about MLB.TV having all games (outside of your Local, which they do, but you have to pay separate for) EXCEPT for when Peacock/Amazon and Netflix wants ....
There is no package available to buy that has ALL of the games live. MLB-TV states: Watch EVERY out-of-market game LIVE or on demand at MLB or ESPN (subject to blackout restrictions). So yesterday you could not watch the games LIVE on MLB-TV but 90 minutes after the game ends you could watch the OnDemand version of them. Also note the "subject to blackout restrictions" clause.
It covers All games Outside of the Local and the National market games ... at least it Use to ...
National Market games were those that were on Network TV, being ABC, NBC, CBS and FOX ...
No Amazon or Peacock or ESPN or Tru TV or TBS or any other BS channel that shows a game and calls themself a National Market ...
Those all are "national markets". It has been many years since the only "national markets" were ABC, NBC, CBS and FOX. I even remember the time when FOX didn't even exist.
Same here ... I remember when we only had 3 channels.
Now we have 257 Streaming and Nothing On.
Nothing on? Really?
AFAIC, we've now reached a point where there's almost too much to choose from. As far as sports go, I'm old enough to remember needing a radio to listen to games so paying a few buck to watch, well, I'm okay with that. And, while this may not apply to everyone, I've found that people who are fast to insist that their favorite team spend millions to sign the best players are also the ones complaining about what it costs to watch a game on TV.
Have you looked at the price of tickets lately? You could probably pay for a full season and not miss one game you really want to see for less than the cost of going to one game.
To push back on your opinion. No one has ever seen how much MLB makes. Yes its entertainment, but to blame players I find wrong. Even the worst player is very talented thats why they are professionals.
If they had profit sharing everyone would be on the same page.
Is it expensive? Absolutely! But millionaires fighting billionaires is what it is. A player only plays a few years, owners own till they sell. If they were losing money turnover would be yearly! When was the last team to sell?
The referance to 257 Channels and Nothing on was a line from a Springsteen song ... not that I actually meant that.
Theres more things on to watch than ever before, most of it no one wants to watch, but at least you could if you wanted to.
If you had time to watch all the content on any particular streaming app.
I'm not sure where you got the idea that I was blaming anyone, let alone the players. This is just pure supply and demand. As you say, there's a limited number of people capable of playing professional sports. They can get whatever they can get and good for them.
My point is the hypocrisy of wanting those billionaires to spend millions and then complaining when they want to find a way to make it back.
