Fred, I guess I wasn't too clear when I said I switched to the Cincinnati radio broadcast. I meant that I did switch to listening via radio, but they maintained their usual 7-second delay.
Has anyone tried following the pitches? It is pretty neat those times when listening to the broadcast is not desirable. I wonder how it works; how it knows it was a screw ball or 4-seam fast ball, etc. It also has a delay, so does not solve the issue of keeping up when at a live game or even when you have the game on TV with someone watching. Remember the days when they said turn down the television and listen to the radio? I guess radio is so irrelevant these days...
