Any of you baseball fans attending the MLB games in Oz?

We're sure looking forward to it. Definitely a once in a lifetime opportunity for some, as you'd need to head to the US to see MLB otherwise!

Shame about the negative publicity around it: Major League Baseball’s Unhappy Travellers Risk A PR Disaster (http://thebaseballdigest.wordpress.c...a-pr-disaster/).

Anyone else going?

I think I can resist the temptation . If you haven't seen Peter Fitzsimon's take on this it's worth the read.

Yes, that's the same story I've referred to above

Quite the ambassador for the game, huh?

You're excused Matt. Your time is better spent on nifty scope projects

We're real excited too. My wife and I watched all the free to air games at the end of last season. With my son born in September, me on parental leave and us up all night long with a newborn - it was a memorable few weeks!

I look forward to watching LA's Yasiel Puig. He's a real loose canon!

I'm lucky enough to have access to MLB.tv.

Can't get enough! Opening games of the season for, I think only the second time in history outside of the US.

Hopefully a memorable couple of games!

For the series as a whole, Giants.
For this match, Dodgers

Saw the MLB tv app within my Apple TV. Might give it a crack! Might even be available on my XboxOne!

Giants! You gotta watch the Giants tv series on YouTube. It's a fascinating view into that crazy bunch. There's heaps of episodes. Check it out!

Watch "San Francisco Giants The Franchise Premiere Episode 1. Part 1 of 3" on YouTube
