I have YouTube and streaming service on Verison Fios. I orally and politely asked my

remote about 'Mets game on YouTube' three times.



Got bottom button suggestions: search for funny shows, funny videos, play a YouTube

video and (this is the really funny one) 'what can you do to help?'



Progress.

I subscribed to YouTube, just to get rid of the ads every forty seconds. But I'm still not happy about ballgames being on it. It's one thing to put them on mlb.com, which gives you access to every game not on national TV or blacked out locally, or on a network available on any TV package. It's another to put them on a source you have to pay for directly. And the announcers probably suck.

I got the free trial to work on Firefox, Chrome just kept sending me to google links which is

Anything's better than the cable network lockdown, this isn't the best solution, but I'd rather games be on YouTube than ESPN/Fox/WB11. And certainly telegraphing and trail-running a move to streaming gets everyone to at least know where the buttons are. Like mobile only ticketing and cashless ballparks. Fraught with rich/poor problems of course, but isn't it all.

If MLB wanted to create an alternate broadcast for kids or gamblers that would be fine. The NFL did that in the playoffs with a separate broadcast on Nickelodeon and it was great. This is an exclusive telecast and it's not for anyone: Mets fans, both AZ fans, gamblers, kids, baseball lovers, no one will love this and no casual viewer will seek it out despite it being "free". It's just a money-grab by MLB (which also angers cable and mlb.tv subscribers as you're paying to watch your team and not getting anything in return today).

    You Tube baseball = unwatchable.

    If MLB wanted to create an alternate broadcast for kids or gamblers that would be fine. The NFL did that in the playoffs with a separate broadcast on Nickelodeon and it was great. This is an exclusive telecast and it's not for anyone: Mets fans, both AZ fans, gamblers, kids, baseball lovers, no one will love this and no casual viewer will seek it out despite it being "free". It's just a money-grab by MLB (which also angers cable and mlb.tv subscribers as you're paying to watch your team and not getting anything in return today).


    I feel like I MIGHT be enjoying Franco's commentary a little more if he just eschewed baseball insight and just went full Al Michaels with gambling discussion.

    How come we have a better angle today on last night's walkoff hit than we had at the time?

    Castro-- helped by a nice DP to end the 8th-- turns in a solid two innings of work.



    Lindor-- who started it-- gets a hustle double to start the next one.

    That's what building up a lead is good for. Even a tough series against a good team (and someone on yesterday's broadcast said he thought the Pods were the best team in the NL) probably leaves the Mets in first place. This is like playing with house money--I suspect they're loose and could give the Pods a hard time.



    The D'backs looked pretty awful in the field, didn't they? I think we can expect the Padres not to be handing out runs like that for free. I once told my kids they were called "Error-zona" for that reason.
