Has anyone used the Gamechanger App for baseball games?

[BarBBar]

My son plays in an adult baseball league in Austin. His team uses an i-phone app called Gamechanger that enables i-phone users who log in to the app to listen at home to computer voiced live broadcasts of their favorite team's games, with box scores, post-game summaries, statistics and game schedules. Apparently, this has been around at all levels of baseball for over ten years, but I was not aware of it. I am not sure what a coach needs to do or pay to set it up for their team. Probably everyone else already knows about this, but I thought it was worth mentioning.

Wiki has a write-up about it, and there is a Gamechanger website. You can sit on your porch at home and listen to the games on your phone like a radio broadcast with no commercials, so it appeals to my lazy side. The website says it also offers video applications, and other interesting features.

My daughters 10u softball team used it last fall and it was great. During late games one of us would have to stay home with the young kids and we could follow along the game. Ever since then I started using it for my son’s 8-9U baseball team. Parents and the boys enjoy seeing the highlight clips. As a coach I use it to track pitch count and hitting stats.

For a small fee you can watch the video live.

It’s been a big deal for a while, my son’s team uses the newer version and a parent streams the games live so grandparents, and others can watch the game. It tracks all sorts of stats too, the boys love tracking their stats, but they’re only as accurate as the mom who enters the info.[emoji23]

I bet the creators are filthy stupid rich.

We’ve used it for years. Live stream is awesome. We have someone on our team put a phone on the fence and our families anywhere can watch the game.

Not just iPhone. My wife and I had gone on a work/vacation and watched games at a bar on the beach with my android tablet.

We made baseball cards one year using the stats.

We just watched our sons High school game tonight on it Live Streamed. He played up in Lufkin and we couldn't go. Game Changer is a great option to have

We have been using it for about 4 years. It’s good to be able to keep up with the games if you can’t attend it live.

What does that even mean? It was founded in the US and recently sold to Dicks Sporting Goods.

Yep. Been around a while. Pretty much all teams use it. There is now a live video feature. If someone at the game is willing to set up their phone or iPad you can stream the game.

My kid's high school team uses it. Comes in handy when I can't make a game.

There is a female computer voice that announces the game action with pitch by pitch live action, with the aid of the team's scorekeeper. The batter's name and ball strike count, hits/put outs, steals and runs scoring are described live for each at bat. There is ambient crowd noise. There are post-game write ups of the games, and updated player stats. If your grandkids play, you will enjoy games you can not attend.

It's easy to set up as a coach or manager for the team...you just have to plug in each player's info.

As Dale said, the end product is only as good as the person running the app during the game. It is pretty easy to do, but you have to know the difference between a hit and an error, a wild pitch or passed ball, etc. And the person running the app has to pay full attention during the game, because it's easy to get behind.

We stream our games using a gopro on gamechanger. Great for traveling parents or extended family. We have a dad who knows baseball score the games so we can see real stats like OPS, fielding percentages, pitch count(strikes/balls) etc. It is a great tool if you can accurately score the game. If its just a mom your kids will all bat over 600 with no ROEs.
