exactly what MLB.com are providing<\/a> over the next three days.\u00c2\u00a0 There are six exhibition games available to watch, with the games on Saturday and Sunday being the most convenient\u00c2\u00a0for us in\u00c2\u00a0the UK. Presumably you will also be able to trial the excellent Gameday Audio as well, which provides radio feeds for each game and is a cheaper, but no less enjoyable, option (it comes with the MLB.TV subscription and I use\u00c2\u00a0the audio feeds\u00c2\u00a0just as much as the video feeds).\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\nThe media player has been updated this year and one of the main features for you to be aware of is the ‘quality’ bar which allows you to reduce the streaming quality of the picture.\u00c2\u00a0 Obviously, the greater the quality, the more bandwidth you use up and the more likely it is to splutter and stutter, so it’s worth playing around with that and seeing how far you can turn it down whilst maintaining a picture quality acceptable to you. I tend to set the picture to full screen and then sit a way back from my monitor when I watch games, which\u00c2\u00a0allows me to turn the quality down quite low (right to its lowest sometimes). The graphics are not crystal clear, but the main picture is perfectly watchable.<\/p>\n
The six games\u00c2\u00a0are listed below\u00c2\u00a0with\u00c2\u00a0first pitches noted in British Summer Time. If you have any queries about using the\u00c2\u00a0MLB.TV service then leave a comment and I’ll do my best to help.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

For the second straight year, baseball fans in Britian don’t have a free-to-air TV option when it comes to watching MLB. Your choices are either an ESPN America subscription (note that recent comments here have\u00c2\u00a0suggested that the standard ESPN channel is of no use to baseball fans) or taking the online option of an MLB.TV or Gameday Audio\u00c2\u00a0subscription from MLB.com<\/p>\n
