Toronto Blue Jays fans outraged as Sportsnet+ crashes again during Game 7

Blue Jays fans were left staring at error screens Saturday night after Sportsnet's Sportsnet+ streaming service went down during Game 7 of the World Series.

The outage cut off streams as the Los Angeles Dodgers came up in the seventh inning, sparking frustration across social media.

The streaming feed froze and displayed a «Code 22» message, reading, «We have detected an issue with your network. Please check your connection and try again.»

This isn't the first time this has happened, it was the same message users saw during a similar streaming failure in Game 4, when Toronto mounted a big inning enroute to a 6-2 win.

Customers went online voice their frustrations with Sportsnet and Rogers for this problem during the biggest Blue Jays game in 32 years.

"Sportsnet going down during the 7th inning of game seven of the World Series is genuinely insane. For something this expensive made by a company with more money than God you'd think it would work,» wrote another user.

Sportsnet said some users were experiencing intermittent disruptions «due to an issue with a third-party vendor» and that a free stream was available on Sportsnet.ca.

Sportsnet, owned by Rogers, said it was working to resolve the issue.
