You were real right about that one, huh?

1000% not D1's choice. But, when you're going for the long mile here, dumping the big bucks (allegedly), you better do a trial to work out the kinks when you have this kind of thump coming in...and you're promoting on the thump's site.

I love D1 but it was disappointing. Thankful to watch the game after the site being assy for a few outs, but also kind of meh about D1. Big risk, big reward. We shall see.

According to Kendall they tested the stream up to 40k viewers and they got hit with a DDOS that they couldn’t account for.

Whether you believe that or not is up to you. I’m torn personally. I trust Kendall and D1 but someone targeting an early season non conference college baseball tournament with a DDOS is kind of hard to believe.

It's a bit nonsensical. But hey, dude is up here apologizing for the product today. Needs a better tech company for the future. I'm only commenting, so it's not me. But all I've read is not good advice or planning.

Just get a scissor lift so we can see where the pitch is when someone is on 2nd or we’re blocked by the SS/ump. Thanks

CF angle was bad but the shaking was absolutely terrible.

All in all I thought it was a decent product once y’all got the initial problems worked out but my god the center field cam was rough to watch at times.

Our crew noticed the CF camera was moving a little for sure. I've relayed that to everyone else.

And ... again, I'm not really happy at all considering the way the day began. Need to have a complete product tomorrow.

Agreed. While I’ll be working and won’t be able to tune in I pulling for y’all and I’m glad y’all took this on even if it wasn’t exactly smooth sailing. Someone needed to step up and y’all did and I appreciate that even if you can’t tell from my bitching at times.

And hey we play a 3 game series for a reason. Y’all may have lost Friday but a good showing Saturday and Sunday and you can still take the weekend.

Thanks for your work to get things fixed. A few years ago we wouldn't have even had the option to watch this tournament on TV. I appreciate the guys helping promote college baseball and love seeing someone other than ESPN on the baseball train

It was rough going in the beginning, but y’all got it eventually. Sounds like you recognized the issues. If tomorrow and Sunday go as planned it’ll be a successful weekend. Thanks for offering a way to watch this tournament when no one else did. And thanks for coming out here and explaining what happened.

Also, make sure the on screen scoreboard is correct with base runners, outs, etc.
