Spotted: Nearly Real Baseball on Almost Television

Arencibia

While much of what appears on the author’s desktop is both detestable and also capable of being detested, that’s less the case with the image above, itself recently captured and and edited and uploaded by that same author by means of his personal computer.

Depicted in that image are Toronto right-hander Drew Hutchison and Philadelphia batter J.P. Arencibia, the latter of whom one finds in the process of recording what the Phillies broadcast team has referred to optimistically as Arencibia’s “first spring-training home run.”

While such a course of events typically wouldn’t merit attention, it’s notable today on account of how the image has been made by possible by the first telecast available this spring by way of MLB.TV. Later today, it would appear, curious fans also have the opportunity to observe Cleveland and Cincinnati face off roughly 2000 miles away from the dirty, dirty shores of the Cuyahoga River. For the moment, however, Maikel Franco is batting for Philly and in the midst of a 1-1 count.
