I didn't hear it, but the google tells me it's set to the tune of O Mio Babbino Caro.

Has anyone else had issues with live MLB.TV on Android 12?  Works fine on my old Android 9 device, PC, and FireStick, but not my newer Android 12 device.

Okay, your google skills get a point ... now google the tune and listen to it, twice

Is the app fully updated? That, oftentimes, is the issue

Why twice?  

And should the counting continue to three, will Velveeta spontaneously appear?

Because it's just that beautiful ... she's begging her father to let her marry the love of her life ... not sure I get why that goes with a velveeta commercial, but, whatever, unless they are thinking velveeta is the love of our lives

That's fair, and true.

I'll stop at twice though.  I don't have a need for Velveeta.

She should probably listen to her father if she's set on marrying a block of processed cheese.

Well, I've listened to it 4 times, and I marked myself safe from Velveeta

I'm not a fan of Velveeta, so I'm not sure I'm willing to take that risk.

Sorry to have sidetracked the thread into opera, but, it honestly was the commercial's fault ... and now I have to leave for work ... concert tonight

Something that beautiful is always worth the risk ...

I thought game thread "rules" state that we talk about basically anything but baseball?

No, not exactly ... we can talk about anything including baseball

I'm reading the abridged version.  It left out some words.

Where’s Correa

[wsnydes]

@Squirrel  Your commercial is on again.  Just keep watching the game.  The song is on repeat!

You expect a player that expensive to actually play?  Can't break him!

Yup, both Android and the app have he latest updates. I'll just have to hope it gets fixed in the next update. It's odd, because all other video works just fine, even the MLB Network feed. Just not live MLB.TV.

I've been impressed some with Sabato's foot and glove work today.  He's looked very smooth overall.

I have the Iphone 12 and the feed was giving me issues the other day as well.  Then again, it's done that almost every year at the start of the season (I've had it for quite a while... good thing the wife is very understanding ).  Seems to be a compression issue that eventually gets worked out, at least with Apple.

Yes, he needs to play
