MLB At-Bat

[DJBeasties]

Does anyone use this app? I want to find something similar to NFL Rewind where I can re-watch particular at-bats? Does anyone know if this app lets you do that?

Use it a ton, but you can't do what you're asking for. You have to use mlb.tv to jump into a specific AB

Looking for some info on MLB.tv ...

So this is my first year as a subscriber to MLB.tv and I sure used it a lot through the regular season ... so I checked to see how it works in the post-season ... and read this (bolding mine) ...

Available games will include the National League Wild Card Game, NL Division Series and NL Championship Series (all games); the American League Division Series and ALCS (select games); and the World Series (all games). Check the schedule for games and for participating pay TV providers, as a one-time authentication is required for eligible subscribers.

Huh? I don't have a cable subscription. Does this mean that I won't be able to watch the post-season???

And seriously, not all AL games are included?

Anyone know the scoop here?

You're basically screwed for the post-season. The coverage that mlb.tv provides essentially amounts to various camera angles available one at a time (i.e. if you want to watch the centerfield camera, that's all you get -- no live editing of footage is included) with no broadcasters included, too. At least that's how I remember it. For the last couple of years, I've had to bite the bullet and go to sports bars to watch the games when possible. And if that's not an option, I've tried to find a friend or neighbor who enjoys baseball to visit around playoff time. And failing that, I've found streams of the broadcast online (for quality and legality purposes, this isn't recommended).

Not exactly. What kind of feed you get depends on who the broadcaster is. At least that's how I remember it. I think the Fox broadcasts, you get the full broadcast feed, but the ESPN games, nothing? I'm not sure I have that straight, but I think that's right. And when Bodz talks about having the various camera angles, I actually like that. I actually prefer getting the high home viewpoint and listening to radio broadcasters over having to listen to the inanity that is the typical TV broadcast and being stuck with whatever the TV producer wants to show me. But I don't remember if that's always available.

ok, I'll step back from the ledge for the moment ... we'll see if I can get the broadcast feeds ...

edit: in case anyone cares I was able to watch the wildcard game yesterday ... it appears that I overreacted.
