At Least One Day Off For Gary, Keith & Ron

Facebook will be the exclusive home of 25 mid-week afternoon games, beginning with the Mets-Phillies on April 4. The games will not be on local channels and the games will be produced by MLB Network using their "talent". http://awfulannouncing.com/facebook/mlb ... watch.html

Not 25 Met games, as I read that. So maybe a game off for G/K/R. Is this MLB trying to appeal to the youth and show off the new, faster game complete with TOTALLY COOL bullpen carts?

This is fascinating to me. 1. It's work time, so many people aren't watching the tv anyway. 2. You need a cable account to stream SNY. These are legitimately free games. These are more free than games on say CW11, which you can't stream at all. 3. I'll miss Gary Keith and Ron obviously, but I'd typically listen to these games on the radio anyway. I probably still will, streaming tv seems a little less kosher in an office setting. cut that cord.

So, stupid question here, is 'FACEBOOK WATCH' available to those who aren't a member of FACEBOOK?

Guys, this isn't 25 Met games. It's 25 MLB games. Frayed Knot wrote: So, stupid question here, is 'FACEBOOK WATCH' available to those who aren't a member of FACEBOOK? I don't know, but I would guess no. If whatshisname CEO, the future president guy, paid however many millions for rights to stream these games to people for free, he's gonna want to mine some data for his $$.

My bad. Fixed the title. At least one day off for GKR.

Holy cow. Finally a real reason to be sad that I've been permanently banished from Facebook. I should sue.

So tomorrow is the first fb-only game? How would one tune in if they wanted to?

At the very least I'll be listening to Howie & Josh on XM over my phone app. If I can pull down the FB feed (especially w/o a FB account), all the better. I have noticed some local business web sites have FB pages that I can still see. I just can't post to them or anything. Hopefully I get something like that.

I think I'm just going to skip this one - and by 'skip' I mean check up on it via the gameday thing on MLB.com But I've got stuff to do tomorrow and don't really feel like figuring out if/how to make the 'Facebook Live' thing work just so I can view parts of it while I'm not otherwise busy on a small screen. I'll be back for Thursday day tilt that will be the Nationals home opener featuring deGrom vs Strasburg

You guys don't do the MLB At-Bat radio thing? It's the only way to fly.

So how is the facebook thing working out?

Benjamin Grimm Apr 04 2018 05:41 PM Re: At Least One Day Off For Gary, Keith & Ron

Apparently Facebook, as powerful as it is, hasn't yet taken over the weather. Game is delayed in starting because of rain.

cooby Apr 04 2018 06:01 PM Re: At Least One Day Off For Gary, Keith & Ron

I've been having issues with power, cable, and wifi. It's kinda windy out

Lefty Specialist Apr 04 2018 11:42 PM Re: At Least One Day Off For Gary, Keith & Ron

Video froze up on me a lot, and the announcing was pretty bad. Plus too much irrelevant shit, like players' Facebook posts. Wasn't worth all the trouble. Now excuse me while I chase these damn kids off my lawn.

Fman99 Apr 04 2018 11:49 PM Re: At Least One Day Off For Gary, Keith & Ron

Fuck Facebook in it's media hole.

August 13, the make-up game with the MFYs: exclusively on ESPN. August 16, first game of the double-header with PHI: exclusively on Facebook. (So not a full day-off for GKR.) August 19, Sunday night game in Williamsport, PA: exclusively on ESPN.
