I can't seem to scroll down thru the active games list :-( The game I want to watch is a LIVE game but it's no longer one of the top 4 games I see the scrollbar but it does not interact (Chrome or Edge same issue)

Chrome/Mac working for me with touchpad. Desktop? Windows or Mac?

Ah...

It reacts ONLY to the mouse scroll wheel (Desktop/Windows)

I was expecting either keyboard (UP/DOWN arrows) or click/drag on the scroll "bar" to work

This is really, really awesome. I'm going to let the folks at Pitcher List know about it!

Big fan of Nick and the team at PL. Working on a feature actually that will sync and track your fantasy team so you can drop in on them when they’re pitching or at the plate.

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…

Yes! Will check this out for inspiration.

I love this! If I were to suggest any improvements:

- Have a play-by-play view so users can see plays they missed

- Make the "between innings" tabs clickable rather than forcing users to wait for the cycle (cycle by default, pin if user clicked a tab)

- show glove on right hand for outfielders that throw LH

- maybe show baserunners taking leads rather than keeping a foot on the base
