Best way to "watch" without TV or radio?

roger_that May 17 2022 08:01 PM

If you've got a computer, but no (connected to Mets broadcast) TV or radio, what's the best way to keep up with the action as it happens? Also, while I'm at it, I sometimes catch (on my laptop) a good 10-minute recap of the previous game's action but I get this more or less at random, when I happen upon it. Does anyone have a favorite way to do either of these?

Are you using rabbit-ears or have an outside antenna?

Wot? I'm talking about online. Via the internet. On a computer. Using the world wide web. Through the internets.

If you don't mind dealing with some shady pop ups and questionably legal browsing, you can find web sites streaming MLB games in real time. Google "MLB Streams" to find them. I am forced to resort to this for the WPIX games, due to the brainlessly stupid MLB blackout rules.

Couple of days ago, in such a situation, I came upon a 10-minute "day after" stream that rather neatly summarized the previous day's game, but I didn't make note of what it was. Anyone have any idea?

"Watching" on the MLB game day app is kinda lame but i find it useful to fill in gaps or to monitor the action when I'm away from a broadcast

Wot? I'm talking about online. Via the internet. On a computer. Using the world wide web. Through the internets. I was joking, of course I'm least funny when I try to be. I live in market, but have MLB.TV on Amazon Prime for non-NY games. I stream it on a TV but supposedly it also works on tablets and laptops which I haven't tried yet. https://www.mlb.com/live-stream-games/subscribe?mlbkw=ds-g-p70271076696&gclid=Cj0KCQjwspKUBhCvARIsAB2IYuuaZLDeaskOKw9UGDj_6AlY8gVjT3Rdlt1YGwjNCewWhClFceFTBPMaAuwdEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds

We refer to that as a British sense of humor. Here's yesterday's loss in 7:44. https://www.mlb.com/video/cg-stl-nym-5-17-22-game-2?t=condensed-games not a bad way to catch up on a game you missed, especially for those of us sick of three and four and five hour long games.

Until this season, I have watched using the mlb.tv app...I cancelled during the lockout, and haven't felt like paying again yet, so I've just been watching the 6'ish minute "condensed game" on the mlb.tv app (condensed game, and 3 minute recap are free with a free subscription...plus they generally have a "free game of the day" which is occasionally the Mets

The SNY app carries the games (at least the SNY ones). The Mets are on mlb.com today, but their gameday is also a good way to follow along without live video.

The SNY app carries the games (at least the SNY ones). The Mets are on mlb.com today, but their gameday is also a good way to follow along without live video. I clicked on their "watch for free" on today's game, and got a choice of "tickets" or "gameday"--I clicked on "gameday" and got another popup that said "buy tickets." Does this mean I should wait until the game gets underway and there will be a different popup?

There should be a different popup once the game starts.
