I called and complained to to MLB.com’s Customer Service on Thursday morning. Talked with a nice fellow named Victor, who while sympathetic, could not do anything about a refund because their policy is they are only available for 10 days after purchase. He asked if I would email him a description of my issues and he would pass them along to his supervisor. I sent him a novella generated from my ranting posts here and earlier email traffic to someone else in their customer service department.
The Red Sox had an afternoon make-up game with the Orioles and wouldn’t you know it, the audio was nearly flawless. But tonight’s game against the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim was one of the worst ever in the quantity of sound gaps. I’m listening to the game on the Angels radio station, ESPN. I’d really like to listen to the Bosox’s announcers, maybe if I tried the Spanish language broadcast, might learn to speak a second language…

I use the gameday audio too, since my ladyfriend-for-life-to-be is a ginormous cubs fan. I only recently figures out how I can hear our local announcers even at the away games. Maybe you’ve got this one licked, but it’s very non-intuitive.
Go to mlb.com instead of your team’s website, and under “multimedia” at the top, click gameday audio. All the current games will be shown, with links for the home & away team’s audio feeds, along with the alternate languages (I’d like to hear the cubs lose in Farsi, please).
Thanks, but I’ve always gone in via the MLB.com Gameday Audio page. I did try the Spanish broadcast yesterday, even though I took two years of Spanish in high school and know that chicken is is pronounced poyo not polo, there was no way to follow that action.
