Watch six baseball games at a time

Published on April 10th, 2006

How much sports TV is too much sports TV?

MLB.com, the interactive media and Internet company of Major League Baseball, is offering baseball fans around the world a revolutionary new way to watch the game. For the first time ever, fans are able to watch six live games simultaneously on one screen with selectable audio, statistics and the ability to click to any one game on full screen.

The new MLB.com application also alerts fantasy baseball league players when live games involving their fantasy players and teams are available. During times when live games are not available, fans can watch on-demand games, outtakes from the previous night’s games and interactive long-form advertisements. MLB.TV Mosaic will be available to MLB.TV subscribers free at MLB.com next week. A demonstration of this exciting new feature is available on MLB.com today.

I wonder how many marriages it will destroy…

Good for the betting man (or woman).

It would take six simultaneous games to make baseball exciting.

If I EVER have to talk to my man in Baseball Slang in order for him to understand me you bet I’d sure leave him.

“It would take six simultaneous games to make baseball exciting.”

Baseball is so excruciatingly boring that even simultaneous girl-on-girl jello-wresting couldn’t save it.

This would probably be even less exciting than six simultaneous spelling bees.

What a great idea! (No sarcasm). That is a perfect application of interactivity and video on demand. Long live the internet.

The same simple minded folk who would be into this probably have no idea who their local elected officials are, couldn’t name their state capital, don’t know why antivirus software is important more or less use it and drink at least a 6 pack of beer daily. But hey, they could probably tell you who hit the most home runs for the last 10 years in alphabetical order. Shows where some people’s priorities are.

Actually, I know who my elected officials are, am a software/hardware support specialist, do not drink beer and grew up playing and enjoying baseball (even as an Indians fan). Not to mention the fact that I obviously read this site, which by gquaglia’s description, would lead one to believe that his/her comment would never be read by those it is referring to.

Speaking of simple minded …

Not to stray off topic any further, I am looking forward to not only this new use of streaming technology, but to giving my poor remote a rest – especially during those days of multiple key matchups.

9, You must be in the minority. Baseball is the most boring game right after Cricket and submarine racing. (Though I use to take my dates down to the river to watch the submarine races on warm evenings)

First….did that line work Mr. Fusion????…..lol

I LOVE baseball, but, I hate to watch it on t.v…..I played in high school, little league and at college. I watch it on t.v. but it can bore me to death.

# 12 Jammer said, on April 10th, 2006 at 7:48 pm

I’d gladly trade the ability to watch 6 games at a time in on the ability to WATCH MY “LOCAL” GAMES WITHOUT BLACKOUT!! Blackouts are the stupidest thing in the world. I live 5 hours away from my favorite team, have no OTA stations that carry them, and yet I get blacked out… WT? Get with the times MLB.com!!

Oh, and those that find baseball boring obviously don’t understand it, and/or have never played it. It’s a great game. Full of intricacies, nuance, and a boat-load of skill.

Six baseball games at once…. and it STILL will be SLOOOWWWWW.

# 14 BOB G said, on April 10th, 2006 at 9:20 pm

Of coarse you people beleave it is excruciatingly boring and slow it is a thinking mans game .

# 15 gquaglia said, on April 10th, 2006 at 9:44 pm

Just to clarify, I do like baseball, but I’m not so obessed that I have to watch 6 games at once. Baseball should be enjoyed, not consumed like an all you can eat buffet.

#8…..I not only know who my local elected officals are, but the local and state and national elected officals of most other states than mine….also more than a few countries around the world as well.
And I haven’t had a beer since my brain surgury in the fall….but before I came home from University I did like a pint or 4 at the local.
Hell, I’ve even been known to use anti-virus software too.
