Kris Bryant is the second player in MLB history to homer in the 7th, 8th, and 9th innings of the same game, per @EliasSports. (The other was J.D. Martinez.)

And tonight's game is on KDSM also. Guess I'd better break out the antenna and get it hooked up.....
Doesn't work OTA either. Good thing is tonight it's a national broadcast, so you might be able to watch through the Fox Sports app. Although I'm sure some MLB blackout policy prohibits that.

On that note, MLB has to figure their **** out. It's sad that it's easier to be a Cubs fan in Kansas City than it is in Des Moines. The MLB TV app is awesome and works great, but can't use it as a Cubs fan in Iowa.

Yeah, I wasn't even thinking while posting that earlier. Only Mediacom right now, apparently.

And yes, MLB needs to fix their blackout rules. They can't be allowing 5 MLB teams to claim Iowa and the Des Moines area as their home markets. As far as I know we're the only state/area that is in this predicament. It's ******* ridiculous.

It's 6 MLB teams, FYI. Las Vegas area and Iowa are tied for the most blackout teams.

I want to give them money, but they refuse to provide a simple service. This shouldn't be complicated.

MLB reddit streams is my best friend. But if MLB.tv didn't black out Cubs games they would get my money every single summer. Hope the new Cubs network is good

Have been watching the cubs on reddit all season, but the game isn't showing up for me tonight. Anybody else having the same issue?

Edit: It popped up for me. Not sure why it took so long.
