MLB TV and MLB At Bat 2011 questions


Orioles West

Recommended Posts

For those who subscribe, I am looking for some clarification:

If you purchase the full MLB.TV package is that a part of the MLB At Bat apps for phones, iPads, etc?

I have the MLB Extra Innings, because I'm out here in Colorado. However, I own a business that is open well after the first pitch for most of the games (5:05 p.m. locally and I am open until 7 or 7:30 p.m.). I figure if I can catch some of the game on my phone, work computer, iPad, it could be worth it.

Thanks in advance for any info.

In order to watch all of the games on your iPhone or iPad, you need to purchase either of the two MLB.tv plans and the premium MLB At Bat app for about $10. This was how it worked last year, but they might change it.

Ah, so buying the Premium MLB.TV does not carry over to the At Bat app? Bummer.

Choices to make then..

Thanks for the info.

I decided to go with MLB.tv premium for the 2011 season. I've had extra innings the past two seasons to watch the O's out here in Nebraska, but I really felt the quality of the extra innings video was less than desirable. MLB.tv looks to have more HD availability, plus I love having the ability to catch spring training games and being able to view games on my own schedule. The mobile options is just extra icing on the cake for me, but sounds like it would fit well for your situation.

    • If this was the 8th or 9th inning I would agree.  But to lose someone for the rest of the game in the 6th? Just leave Holliday in. He would’ve had another at bat against a righty later anyways. 
    • I think there's something else beyond the injuries,  but a person would have to be naive to think this lineup wouldn't be drastically different with even 2 of the RH hitters on that list. 
    • Also, our Bad Manager had Mullins bunt with men on 1st and 2nd and nobody out precisely…two games ago, on Sunday in Detroit. Fouled off the first two, then flied out rather meekly to center field (advancing the runners anyway on nice tag-ups by Soto and Henderson). But then Santander popped up and Kjerstad hit a weak tapper back to the pitcher, so we went empty. Gave up an out with one of our hottest hitters — just to set up two dudes who couldn’t come through. I didn’t see Hyde getting too much praise as a Good Manager for doing that on Sunday. If he’d gone right back to the same strategy that failed a couple days ago in the exact same situation, then we’d be telling him “job well done” this time? Only if it worked, I’d wager…
    • Different era obviously, but Rochester AAA manager Earl Weaver replaced O's skipper Hank Bauer in '68, just a year and a half after Bauer won the World Series. 
    • A good manager would have instructed him to bunt Well not for nothing, but I would like 100 dollars for every time a Good Manager did not bunt with first and second with nobody out. Now if the SF pitcher was LH, I would be onboard. If they were down by 1, maybe. Why would you not let Mullins hit there?
    • Putting aside the issue of “not counting” stats that don’t fit the argument, I’m curious who he would have had hit there. What were the other options? Eloy Jimenez (1 for his last 23) Coby Mayo (3 for 37 with 21 Ks as a pro) Jackson Holliday (0 for last 22 vs LHPs  with 12 Ks) Livan Soto (~.600 career AAA OPS vs LHPs)   Not saying Slater was some slam dunk pick, but I honestly don’t really even understand how folks can criticize Hyde for those types of decisions anymore. Every lever he has available to pull is clearly marked *WRONG* in flashing red lights. 
    • Is it really the injuries?
