Man, the Cubs' twitter game is on point.

Brewers' Yellich's back appears to be giving him issues again this season.  He left today's game due to it.  It bothered him last season and all he did was win MVP.

Will anyone bother to watch? Seemed like the similar FB experiment wasn't all that successful, but at least these games will be free on YouTube.

Aren't MLB.tv subscribers entitled to all out of market games that aren't on ESPN or Fox?

Obviously not since they did this with Facebook last year.  I'm sure there is something in their terms & conditions that excludes any games made exclusive national broadcasts.

 

Also, it's worth noting that you're not really impacted by this.  You typically don't even need a YouTube account to watch videos on the site, so if there isn't going to be a local broadcast of a game in the first place, does it really matter if you are watching this national broadcast on YouTube instead of MLB.TV?

[jstraw]

It depends on how easily the broadcasts are accessed on various platforms. It might matter.

I don't follow.  What is the difficulty in accessing YouTube?

[jstraw]

I would have to add the Youtube channel to Roku just to watch these. Not difficult...but not my heart's desire.

Once you get that Youtube stink on ya . . .

Our old friend Jay Jackson just delivered a 4 run inning (grand slam to Story) to the Rockies in his 2nd game with the Brewers. 10-4 Rockies.
