Earlier quoted context omitted.

Couldn't find a live audio broadcast to embed, but that would be ideal. Will add some sound effects soon, and also like the idea for key plays/events recap in case you miss anything.

I'd love to see you grab the sound effects from something like the Super Batter Up for SNES. Somehow I think Bandai Namco is not monitoring the Internet for those samples -- at the very least MLB will be coming to ruin things before that happens anyway. I can still hear those sound samples in my head, they have voice samples for: Play ball! Foul. Strike. Y'rOUT! Out. Safe! Home run! Oh, and the ending bars of the US…

Would also be neat to have public renditions of team songs played while the live crowd is singing.

"Go cubs go", "take me out to the ball game", etc

And it looks fantastic.

It means the actual 'data' came from somebody who is not being compensated, acknowledged, or credited.

You mean like how you're not paying anyone you learned LISP from?

Suggestion to make the Upcoming Games tiles fade out as a group or rotate and show games past the initial five of the day. Also, team W-L records where pertinent and real estate might allow? One thing that stuck with me is the font rendering of the flashing "Mid 5th" screen banner on the game field view, was displayed as Helvetica/Arial vs one of the in-game fonts.

Thanks for the ideas - will take a look at this today.

Very fun. I have used the cli ’playball’ in the past, but this retro 8-bit is delightful

This morning I think I found a minor bug is the installable PWA web app. chromium, Brave and I expect other browsers show a white bar with the URL at the top of the PWA

I believe this is due to the manifest specifying the path ‘/watch/‘ with a trailing slash and not the path we get redirected to without ‘/watch’
