MLB TV outage causes Opening Day outrage

If you’re depending on MLB TV to get your Opening Day fix, you may need to explore a new option.

As first pitches were thrown on Thursday afternoon, users across the internet reported trouble accessing the league’s streaming service.

The Post’s attempts to watch games using MLB TV received an error that read, “We had some trouble loading the game, please try again later.”

Downdetector, which monitors website and service outages, saw a spike in MLB TV reports beginning at 3 p.m., with nearly 8,500 user-submitted problems shortly thereafter.

X users implored MLB TV’s official account to “fix the app” — among other, more vulgar requests — as the 14-game slate began.
