NOTHING. Why not have ALL possible media outlets available? I have no problem with streaming the video on MLBTV, but it just makes NO sense for MLB to do this.

The quality should improve with time. -Sam The thing I like above MLB.tv is you can watch 6 games at once. The quality should improve with time.

Or are you saying more fans using it will force them to up its quality? If you’re a fan using streaming video, won’t more fans using it hurt you?

This is going to continue to be a growing source of income. -Sam I like the DirecTV deal:
