I know. I wanted to watch some 10:00 am games out here in LA on MLB.Com but the games were all blacked out. Seems to me if you have a pay service like that you should be able to get the games. Also, I know in Vegas where they show most of the games in the sportsbooks, you can only watch the locally televised game early on Saturday.
Its been at least six years now - maybe more - since Fox took over on Saturdays. Once their seasonal Game of the Week package starts, there just are no MLB games on the package. You still can get the local team in your area if they are playing, for example the Cards were on KPLR today.
The package then doesn't begin until 7 eastern, 4 pacific. There is absolutely no way around this except when the "hu cards" worked around the blackouts and you could still watch the regionals.
Sometimes, a backhaul will pop up on Cband. maybe one over three weeks or so.

I'm currently using a Dish Network receiver that is programmed the way the old Hu Cards were for Directv (all open channels), so I get about 20 out of market cities on this so on Saturday at 1pm I had the Braves/Phils game on Atlanta Fox WAGA and the Cubs on Comcast Chicago with the Yanks/Boston on my local Detroit Fox station. Then at 4pm the SD/SF game was on the Fox LA station KTTV. This lifts all blackouts so if another team is showing a Tigers game not broadcast by Detroit Fox Net then I get their feed. Good for the exhibition football games that air on the local market stations as well.
You can also purchase a BellExpressVu satellite through a Canadian broker and charge programming directly on your credit card each month. The broker activates it with a Canadian address and sets up your programming you want such as MLB Extra Innings where you won't get the blackouts. This won't work in the extreme Southern border of the U.S. or along the west coast.
