Lag between Live Audio and Gameday

I'm not aware of a solution. Since audio and video take longer to travel through the interwebs than Gameday updates, I think there will always be a lag. I remember this when I tried to have Gameday open in one browser tab and the game video in another. It's been awhile, but I can't remember how far behind it is, but it seemed substantial.

I did notice the audio and Gameday updated data have a *far longer* lag on my iPhone when I'm busy and can only listen to the radio online call. It may be due to the lack of strength of my phone carrier data (Verizon). I will say that if you are watching the game on MLB-TV and choose the pop-out video option, the Gameday data that's part of the game do stay up to date and you can just bounce back to that tab. I'm talking streaming on a computer or an HDTV screen in this case. I use ExpressVPN for the blackout here in Central NC. 

I have tried MLB-TV on Mac laptops, iPhones, Apple TV (box, not the "channel") and FireTV and as far as just viewing the game and not keeping up with the Gameday data, FireTV is the best format for me (my TV is a FireTV). If I start the game late, it's much easier to fast forward past the commercials and inning breaks. Sometimes if I am way behind and trying to catch up, I even fast forward past the downtime between pitches. However, Gameday on FireTV is only the ball-strike box with pitch placement and the speed and kind of pitch. It does have the spin rate however, which I find pretty cool.

 Next best is on a Mac mini through my TV screen using the Firefox browser. The downside there is that it's trickier to skip past commercials (clicking on the inning box doesn't always get me there and I get those canned "Hall of Fame Connection" pieces ad nauseam and MLB Flashbacks.

Third best is through the Apple TV box (there's no VPN available on that, so I can only watch games after they're over via that method since my area is blacked out).

    • Adley is having a down year. I believe he will bounce back.
    • I admire those of you who have such confidence in this offense. It’s been absolutely terrible for months, other than the last week of the season. It was beyond terrible yesterday- yes Ragans was good but the approach was awful by every hitter. I’ll be thrilled for them to prove me overly pessimistic, but I have zero faith in these bats.  This is at least partially a defense mechanism. I am not ready for the baseball season to be over, and another terribly quick exit from the postseason would just be so dreadful. I don’t need them to win the WS. But winning one GD game would be nice. Not looking forward to six months without baseball. 
    • You don’t have to twist yourself into a pretzel to defend Hyde. If Santander’s defense costs us, it means we got to extra innings and pinch running for OHearn was the right call. Also, are you really trying to say that OHearn is so valuable a defender at 1B that we couldn’t stand to lose that glove in extras? I doubt he’s even better than Santander. 
    • Here's what people thought a couple weeks ago.   
    • Wieters' bWAR was 13.3 through his first 4 seasons (2009 - 2012).  It ended at 18.3 after his last season in 2020, so he was basically ineffective for the last 8 years of his career. Adley's bWAR is 13.1 through his first 3 seasons. So it isn't like Wieters didn't have a strong start to his career just like Adley did.  I think the concern that folks have is that the rest of Adley's career will play out like the rest of Wieters' career.  It seemed very unlikely halfway through this year, but this has been one hell of a drop-off.   And after Wieters never lived up to expectations, it is definitely a fear that we may be reliving this again.  Let's hope this second half was just an aberration.   
    • Adley has been in a horrible almost 4 month slump. Before that, he was the WAY BETTER offensive player. But I pose this question: What does it matter if Rutschman turns out to be worse than Wieters? Matt Wieters was drafted almost TWENTY YEARS AGO. No one in this org had anything to do with him being on our roster. HEck none of our current front office was even here for his entire Orioles' career.
    • I do feel like Adley is out of shape or at least has gotten more out of shape than usual. That’s part of the reason I think he’s hurt…not working out as much. If he is healthy and the slump is this bad, I’m ok questioning whether or not the new GF(ie the distraction) is part of it. Is he putting everything into the game that he should?
