MLB extra innings blacking out all Phillies games

Every single Phillies game this year has been blacked out on MLB extra innings. Had a thread going but some bozo named @teetertotter here closed it out. 

Can someone please help?

Hi @mikehrin66, thank you for voicing your concern.

Let me share that game blackouts protect the team, the sports leagues, and the stations that purchase the rights to broadcast individual games. You can find further information about blacked out sporting events.

Feel free to reach us back in case that further assistance is needed.

Maria, 

Instead of just cutting and pasting the same boilerplate response, perhaps look to see that this is a known issue and supposedly going to be fixed today. 

Mike,

Thanks Mike Cranston! I can add my info there if it would be helpful.

@Maria - this isn’t a typical blackout. We all understand the rules. This is a technical problem affecting certain states and that one particular baseball team.
