I emailed Directv and this is their response

Dear (Rob),

Thank you for your inquiry. We do not have any information at this time;
however, if and when the MLB does strike, you may contact us in regards
to what we will be doing for our Major League Extra Innings customers.

Looks like they will do something, but they aren't going to tell you unless you ask after the strike starts.

Really, I heard it was Aug 16.
