Which interface do you prefer to watch online games if you don't have access to the audio/video?

I used to be faithful to MLB.com's GameDay but lately I've been more dependent on sportsline.com's GameCenter.

Morbs mentioned something about ESPN, is that one of those awful java pop-up interfaces?

I use GameDay, but it's occassionally wacky (but better than either ESPN or Yahoo! which crap out constantly.)

ESPN doesn't crap out too often on me.

sportsline is very similar to yahoo! japan's interface.

eleven months pass...

MLB now is debuting an "enhanced" game day interface with 3D release point, pitch type, speed and ball flightpath (similar to yahoo!sports japan mentioned above).

It's kind of weird... it has release point speed, final speed and break.

Gameday Enhanced is really gaudy. It gives me a headache.

It backs up too...

It's not an interface so much, but TVUPlayer streams live tv (including ESPN) to your computer over broadband. It's not perfect and almost definitely not legal, but it works surprisingly well in a pinch.

omg that tvu player prog is insane. i have it installed and am listening/watching to espn as i watch the fox Yankees game.

let's hope i can get it to work over the work firewall tomorrow.

We used it to watch World Cup games at work.

I mean while working.

― mattbot (mattbot), Wednesday, 4 October 2006 16:42 (nineteen years ago)

I just checked out the Enhanced Gameday thing on MLB.com and boy is it stupid.
