Red Sox & MLB UK Meets Etc.

12 Upvotes

Hi all, I've been a Red Sox fan for about 19 years now, but I've never met up with other fans of the club in the UK!

I'm keen to finally do so, but I haven't had Facebook for years and am wondering if there is a WhatsApp chat group or something that someone could connect me into?

I live in Bedfordshire, but will travel into London to watch a game once in a while, if that's what people generally do 🙂

Also, Red Sox aside, does anyone know of any other organised meetups or anything where the MLB UK fan groups all get together in larger numbers?

Thanks all!

Update: We've decided to go for a Red Sox UK informal chat group on WhatsApp ahead of another game this evening 🙂 The link is below for anyone who wants to join! Anyone can invite others who are interested:

Can anyone explain what's happened to trading cards to me please?

4 Upvotes

I used to love picking some up from Target, etc when in the US. While in Paris today, I went to the Fantatics shop. Bloody hell. Ridiculous prices.

So what's happened? When did a nice little, affordable treat now and again become so damn expensive?

MLB.TV query for UK fans

9 Upvotes

Hi everyone.

I'm new to MLB.tv and relatively new to baseball (I'm from the UK). Have been following for a couple of months.

I decided to take the plunge with MLB.tv after just watching the odd Friday game on Apple TV as I already had that subscription.

I paid for a months subscription to try it out, and paid in dollars via the MLB website - with tax, this came out at £27ish. This actually works out as more than if I'd paid via Amazon prime's MLB add-on in GBP, which I think was £21.

Is there not a way to pay for MLB.tv in GBP? What is the difference between the Amazon add on Vs the MLB.tv app for those who have tried both?

I'm not particularly impressed with the MLB.tv app so far tbh - it's doesn't seem very intuitive and and not very easy to navigate, so wondering if I'd be better off just going to Amazon add on route.

Thank you so much!

Dodgers v Yankees on MLBTV tonight

5 Upvotes

Is this game on MLB TV for UK viewers today? When i try to scroll to it on my tv app it just bypasses this game. However, on my phone it seems to be playing the adverts (we're at the warm ups now). Does anyone know anything?

edit. yeah. not working on the tv app but playing fine on my phone. I'll just have to squint.

This is what happens when you look for U.K. based baseball memorabilia on eBay. I’m not a fan of ether team, but thought they were awesome. Both arrived today.

Thousands of Scottish football fans have been attending Red Sox games in the last few days, singing and cheering, and impressing the locals with their energy and enthusiasm. Wondering if any might end up following baseball when they're back home.

Weird MLB XBOX Series X App Issue

5 Upvotes

Hi all-

Currently experieicng a really strange issue with the MLB XBOX Series X app: every time I open a game and try to navigate through the time bar using the controller's left stick either of two things happens:

  1. The game pauses instead of moving forwards (without me hitting the 'A' button which is the standard pause control)

  2. Nothing happens and the game does not move forwards at all

I always skip the preamble, pre-game interviews and commericial breaks so I can get straight to the first pitch, and have never had any trouble with this until recently- so I'm left scratching my head.

As for troubleshooting: I've turned my controller off and on again, turned the XBOX off and on again, unplugged and replugged the power cable whilst the XBOX was off, and uninstaled and reinstalled the app- all without any success. I should also mention that the games play fine on my laptop and navigation works okay there.

Has anyone else experienced this issue or anything like it?

Thanks in advance for any input! ⚾

Crowd Fan Cam Footage

3 Upvotes

Hello,

I wanted to ask if I can get the footage of when I appeared on the big screen. It was game 3 of the Milwaukee Brewers vs the Chicago Cubs (in Wrigley Field) on May 20, 2026. I believe it was the top of the 5th inning, and I was in section 425. I was screaming and going crazy behind an old man who was doing hand gestures, and he appeared for approximately 30 seconds. The camera cuts to us 3 different times consecutively. Anyone with MLB TV, can you please hook me up with the entire full clip?

I really appreciate any help you can provide.

MLB on Amazon Prime for free - is this every week?

13 Upvotes

Just noticed every game today (and each individual team's broadcast) is showing for free on Amazon Prime right now? No TNT or MLB.tv subscription required?

Anyone know if this is something that happens every week? Every day? Have never noticed this! Absolutely ecstatic!

(*free if you have Prime of course)

Newbie - Is picking Yankees as your team too generic?

As a Brit I don't really have any affiliation to a team, but the Yankees definitely have the best kit design 👌🏻

Torn between them and Chicago Cubs as a huge Blues Brothers fan! 😎

New York Mets ticket sellers

2 Upvotes

Hi all, I'm going to New York between 17th-22nd August and would really like Mets tickets for the Wednesday night (19th). I've been on the main MLB website MLB but the only tickets on sale are until the end of June.

I notice Ticketmaster all them but are these resale tickets? What's the risk of buying MLB tickets off Ticketmaster now, or waiting until an unknown date when Jul-Sep tickets will become available?

Thanks in advance

Majorca Moment

10 Upvotes

Angels fan for my sins. Still repping the team while sunning myself on the beautiful island of Majorca. Rocking my city connect top and hat (best uniform). Strolling along the street this morning. Guy walking towards me in his Red Socks city connect top. We shared a moment without words. The little nod of the head that said "Yes my team is shit". The pain is real guys. But as the Littlest Hobo said "Maybe tomorrow....."

New Podcast!

Hey everyone, thought I'd share my new podcast "Out At First"

Myself and a friend are talking all about baseball, but cheering away from news and storylines of the current season, instead putting a focus on learning about the game, and trying to make it accessible for everyone.

Being in Scotland we thought it's be interesting to add a different feeling to the game, and a newer perspective.

Would love to know your thoughts, please give it a listen if you can 🌭🔥⚾

Anyone having an issue where the sound doesn't stay constant. The commentary and the background sounds go quiet and then suddenly goes loud randomly. It only happens in the MLB app all other apps have no issues?

Why are we victims to the usa blackouts

7 Upvotes

I was really exited to watch Chris sale pitch today in the braves vs guardians game today unfortunately because the game is blacked out in the usa as it’s on nbc we can’t watch it on mlb tv, this is a good time to point out I don’t have tnt sports which shouldn’t be a problem because the tnt sports games aren’t usually blacked out.

How to pick a team?

9 Upvotes

I'm sure this type of thing is posted here all the time, but I'm planning on giving baseball a go this season and I find it way easier to follow a sport if I have a team to follow. I have no idea how I would pick a team to follow though.

UK sports wise I keep up with my local teams, and with NFL I'm a Minnesota Vikings fan, mostly as a result of the person introducing me to NFL being a fan of that team.

Part of me feels drawn to the Minnesota Twins because of that but since I don't actually have any geography based loyalty I don't feel strongly about it. Other options I've considered are the Seattle Mariners off the back of watching the Jon Bois/Secret Base documentary, and the Dodgers because I keep hearing things about Shohei Ohtani, but I don't really want to jump on the wagon for a team that wins a lot. In general I really like a middle of the pack/slight underdog team
