I have a feeling a lot of the stuff will be ironed out come April 4th.

As far as the audio cutting out, I haven't had too much of a chance to listen yet, so I can't comment on that.

My biggest concern was that the plays/pitch by pitch wasn't updating real time. It does appear that this is a function of it being Spring Training. Last Friday the Cubs played the White Sox at Cashman field in Vegas. I was watching the game on TV and this particular game had pitch by pitch available. The app was updating, at most, 1 pitch behind, and sometimes almost instantaneously. I was told by someone at MLB support that it's actually the VENUE/Stadium that has the personnel updating the information, and because it's Spring Training, sometimes they don't even update it until 1 inning or more later.

As far as the broadcasts, the above poster is correct, some games aren't broadcast by both teams broadcasters, and sometimes, some games aren't broadcasted at all. Regular season games will have both available for every game.
 
thanks guys, i just moved to florida from nyc and i cant imagine not being able to follow my beloved yankees or not hearing my john sterling and susan waldman calling the game

i hope your right about the dual broadcasts !
 
I hope you just turned 60 to make that move from NY to FL.

I got this app to show the MLB that there is an Android community. I, however, have not really used it yet. I don't care about spring training. Hopefully it gets fixed before April. Mets 2010 :)

And yes, it is dual broadcast, from what I've seen.

Why can't I find this app?

That's the second mention in this thread about 2.1 users not finding the app in marketplace (?) Anyone here with 2.1 actually using it? That's strange and (to me) inexplicable.

Well, I had my most pleasurable and most frustrating experience with At Bat yesterday afternoon. The Phils/Rays was drop-out free for the six innings I listened; until I took my phone off the dock and the feed promptly cut out seconds after my screen timed out. This is getting to seem like more than a coincidence, and while it's something I can deal with during spring training (when most games are during work hours and I'm tied to my desk anyway), it's going to make me angry if it's still happening during the season.

Anyway, that was fine because I just plopped it back on the dock and all was right. Then I listened to the Cubs broadcast, which had pitch data, which I was really excited about. Noticed before (when watching a game on tv) that the audio was delayed significantly...and this seemed to be the case again here. The pitch data was updating at what I assume was real time, while the audio was lagging a HALF INNING BEHIND; which made using both simultaneously impossible. The results of the first 3-4 batters would already be posted to pitch-by-pitch before the inning started on audio feed. Frustrating.

I don't expect things like that to sync up perfectly or anything, I understand that's impossible...also understand they're probably ironing out the kinks right now during ST, but Opening Day is approaching and I'm starting to suspect I they're not going to put too much effort into this now that they have my fifteen bucks....oh well.

It does not yet work with 2.1. If you want it, you need to downgrade back.

I have no idea about other 2.1 devices, but it is not available for Eris 2.1 because that s.w is not official.
 
I said Eris. It will not work on the Eris 2.1 until Verizon certifies Android 2.1. That's what I was told by Verizon. Makes sense, since I know of zero Eris' running 2.1 that can get MLB At Bat.

I never received a sign-in on android. It just shows as authorized. My guess would be no.
 
Well that freeking ******ed. What if your home and want to be on your phone? I cant listen to it on my pc? Wtf?
 
hey guys
i was just wondering if any of you guys knew if it was possible to listen to post game reaction audio for games. Because i just downloaded this app and i was listening to the met game and then it was broadcasting post game reactions but i closed out to watch videos and now i'm not able to get back into listening to the audio.

thanks for your help
 
This is one of my favorite apps. They post alot of videos and they are great quality on wi-fi. I have only had audio problems on one day so far with the Braves. It is very fast to update with the live game also. Accurate..etc.
 
Yes it is the problems seem to new fixed now. All its missing is a league leaders feature
