& Youtube allows you to choose which audio feed you want .. so you can select Jays Ben Wagner calling the game .. way better than the clowns doing the 1st Jays Youtube game.

Watching on my laptop and enjoying listening to Wagner call the game.  Also tuned in earlier to the Primary channel to hear Jose Berrios as the Dugout Guest.

A question for those of you who listen to the radio play-by play,  while watching the game on TV.  How bad is the time lag now between the two?  I seem to recall it,  when I used to do this back in the '90s.

I'm asking because tonight I am really enjoying listening to Ben Wagner call the game and am thinking of setting up an old (but decent sounding) Realistic AM/FM radio I have packed away.

Unfortunately, syncing radio and TV broadcasts for sports games isn't as easy as it used to be. Back in the 80's and 90's my father and I would do it all the time and the timing was spot on. But since then, TV has gone digital while radio has remained analog.

This means the TV broadcast is always behind the radio broadcast. And depending on how your cable system delivers the signal, this delay can be anywhere from 4 to 40 seconds, streaming the game on any device would be on that upper end as well.

For many years now, there is has been a company that sells a radio with a built in delay for the proposes of being able to sync radio and TV broadcasts for sports fans (https://www.sportsyncradio.com/). I don't have one but it looks interesting.

For me, I have SiriusXm which gives you access to all major sports broadcasts. Their feed is delayed by a few minutes (for whatever reason). But using that and the PVR feature on the TV, I have been able to sync up the broadcasts that way. It usually takes a few pitches to get it just right but once I've done that, it's wonderful experience.
