UPDATE: Over an hour into the game, viewers said MLB TV was working. MLB had a technical issue that has since been resolved. The Guardians say they are offering each paid Guardians TV customer four Upper Reserved tickets to one game in April and May, excluding the April 8 home opener.

It's Opening Day for the Guardians, and many fans who paid to watch the first game of the season are unable to enjoy the best baseball day of the year.
Fans nationwide have taken to social media to share their frustrations as the MLB TV streaming app experiences technical issues.

Is MLB TV broken for everyone or is it just me that can't watch my Guardians on opening day?

This is for anyone trying to watch the #Guardians game. MLB is having problems nationwide. I am being hypnotized by that refresh circle spinning lazily on my laptop. I get an error message on my TV. MLB is trying to figure out what is wrong.
