Now it will be out there, for the entire world to see:
Adrian Gonzalez's power. Huston Street's saves. Curtis Granderson's range in the outfield. Matt Wieters' future behind the plate. DavidWright fouling off pitches until he gets the one he wants. Matt Cain's control. Carl Crawford's wheels.
Live Major League Baseball games in the palm of your hand, everywhere.
A new day in entertainment and technology is here with today's announcement that streaming video will be introduced, starting Thursday, in theaward-winning MLB.com At Bat 2009 application on the iPhone and iPod touchdevices -- at no additional cost to current subscribers. Being able to watch live games this way means every known viewing platform is covered -- TV(cable/satellite), computer (MLB.TV) and now mobile.
Beginning with the White Sox-Cubs Interleague Play matchup from Wrigley Field at 2:20 p.m. ET, up to two live games per day, subject to blackoutrestrictions, will be included in MLB.com At Bat 2009. The other game scheduled for Thursday is Detroit at St. Louis at 8:15 p.m. ET. These will be historicbroadcasts, the first MLB games ever to be aired live in streaming video to a mobile device.
Shortly after the launch of live games, it is expected that MLB.com will roll out the entire slate of out-of-market games currently offered through itspremier live streaming video product, MLB.TV Premium, as part of MLB.com At Bat 2009. It is about to become a new way of life, and it will be offeredthroughout this postseason.
"It's hard to express how cool the new streaming technology really is," said Chad Evans, mobile product manager at MLB Advanced Media."Being able to watch a live game on your phone for the first time -- I think everyone here's really excited about that.
"I'm hoping there will be a generation of kids that grew up saying, 'Oh yeah, I got box scores and watched games on my phone -- it was justpart of the experience of baseball.'"
The unique addition of live baseball games will be the premier feature among the new MLB.com At Bat 2009 features enabled by the new iPhone OS 3.0 update.If you already have the app, then this is a free upgrade. You will need to download the new Apple 3.0 operating software on your device. If you don't haveMLB.com At Bat 2009 yet, then order it now at the iTunes App Store for just $9.99 to watch live games the rest of the season.
Leveraging standards-based http streaming technology, MLB.com will deliver high-quality video with adaptive bit rate and DVR functionalities over either aWi-Fi connection or the carrier network, providing for a truly portable viewing experience. The app also offers live audio broadcasts without blackoutrestrictions, a continuously updated scoreboard, MLB.com Gameday functionality, real-time video highlights and Condensed Games, a short-form video recap of themost important hits, pitches and outs of every game.
Blackout restrictions will apply for MLB.com At Bat 2009, using GPS technology.
"This is another way for us to expand the full Major League Baseball experience to what's available with technology," said Adam Ritter, vicepresident of wireless at MLBAM. "It's the first time that a mobile device offers the ability to enforce our blackout restrictions, and gives us thenecessary tools to deliver a quality streaming service on a device, using Apple's new streaming technology."
Here is the schedule for upcoming games with live video streaming, subject to change:
Thursday: White Sox at Cubs, Tigers at Cardinals
Friday: Indians at Cubs, Braves at Red Sox
Saturday: Indians at Cubs, Dodgers at Angels
Sunday: Rays at Mets, Yankees at Marlins
Monday: Cubs at Braves, Rockies at Angels
MLB.com At Bat 2009 remains the top-selling sports application and also ranks among the top 100 overall paid applications more than two months afterbecoming available.
The success of the MLB.com At Bat 2009 app has been sort of a happening this season. It is consistently among the top-selling apps, translating perfectly tothe medium, and this incorporation of live broadcast video is what many subscribers have been asking for. Evans said it became obvious during the lastpostseason that this app was going to be a walk-off homer.
"I was in San Francisco last year during the World Series, Phillies vs. Rays, and I was waiting for a flight to come home at an airport," Evanssaid. "There were a bunch of Philly fans watching the game on TV. In the middle of the game, the iPhone commercial that we did came on, and they all pullout their iPhones and download the app right there. They're all excited, because they can go take the app with them when they get on the plane and not missanything at the World Series as they're about to take off and go home."
The 2009 World Series is still a long way off. There are many, many games to watch along the way, and now there is a brand-new way to watch them.
Baseball just pioneered another new live viewing method in sports.
This one is about to be out there now, for the entire world to see.
