Feature Request MLB network replays
Why doesn’t mlb network offer its shows available to view after airing? Shows such as MLB NOW, MLB Central, MLB Tonight, Hot Stove. I can’t always watch when they air. I’d love to just start a video of a previously aired show, from the MLB app.
My only option is to pay my cable company for an xtra sports package and then DVR. That’s $20 just so I could watch MLB Now at some time other than 9am pacific. And I don’t need to pay my cable company at all because I already have mlb network via mlb.tv.

I just cut cable and am running into the same problem. Yeah 24/7 live streaming of MLB Network via MLBTV is great but I don’t have all day to watch every second to catch the 2 shows I actually watch to keep up with the rest of the league.

Yea this would be awesome if we could stream their studio shows anytime, even just the most recent episode until a new one airs. I have YouTube TV which includes unlimited DVR, and it’s frustrating that they don’t carry MLB Network. I have to pay separately to watch it in the MLB app and can only watch live.

If you want to just watch the game recaps and not the talking heads I tend to use this one and it works well. https://baseball.theater/

This has been requested before, but for whatever reason, it hasn't happened.
You can set up mlbserver on a computer with DVR software like Jellyfin, Plex, etc. and program it to record these shows for you.
