I signed up for the MLB stream through Amazon Prime, because it was about $60 cheaper.. The service has been ... spotty. The game goes out from time to time, and last night there was no connection, even though I was able to access the internet on the laptop. It was okay, because the Mets feed was on MLB Network. 
I turned on the game today and still nothing. You get a message to contact Amazon Prime but it's a link to a webpage with general troubleshooting information but no phone number.
So I call Comcast. They try the always-popular "system refresh" three times. Nada. Nunca. Nothing. But they were able to give me contact info for Amazon. I call Amazon. The employee is ... um, patronizing. "Oh, I know you guys don't like it when there's a problem with your games ..."  She hands me off to another operator and I have to start all over again. I cancel the streaming service, less $20 for the first three weeks of the season. Then I order Extra Innings on Comcast, at the full rate. Which I should have done in the first place. 

It appears Yelich also likes Dodger pitching

From the AP article on today's game: "Mikolas (2-1), who allowed both runs, became the first St. Louis pitcher to record an out in the seventh inning this season."

Knowing that, it's amazing they've won any games at all.

I went the other way with it. My reaction was "Thank goodness I don't have to hear another analyst on MLB Network say 'No Cardinals starter has recorded an out in the seventh inning yet.'"

Im of the opinion that live sports are very difficult to stream.  I dont feel like it can ever be as reliable as satellite.
