It's great when you love out of market like I do. Nothing is better then listening to Tom Hamilton on my phone while watching the game on the tv

tv package lets you pick home or away broadcast. I know in the online version you can select either radio feed as well and I think its possible in the PS3/Xbox apps. PS3 has a "natural game" sounds mode where there is no commentating, just whatever the field microphones pick up.

I believe hasbeen is correct. Even if just the at bat version had live video, I wouldn't want to watch every game thru my phone. I will watch a game on my phone when I'm driving with my phone in the navigation dock, but that's more just for the audio.

At Bat does show one live streaming game per day. It's not always the best, but better than nothing.

Just saw Curtis Granderson has a broken forearm after taking a pitch to the arm. Requires surgery and out approximately 10 weeks.

I was watching that and it didn't look that bad. Just hit the right spot.

This guy had the dream career. He did enough to get a massive contract and then basically let it run it's course, much of that being an underachieving path.

Will have played 12 full seasons, earned over 130M in that time. Set for life at 35, pending he goes Mike Tyson with the green.

I know you guys don't care, but I'm happy with how Seattle has been playing. I know it's just spring training, but their scoring runs. It's fun to start the year this way.

Everyone scores runs in the Cactus League, I know that's why the Tigers have said they'll never go out there ever. It's too dry, combined with elevation, that region gives hitters a definite boost
