Nice
Watching the Mets’ bullpen high-fiving before a Sept. 28 game vs. the Nats with “Thunderstruck” blaring from the speakers made me laugh out loud.

It was interesting to be sat
where I was. The bullpen catcher with the long Italian name is always goofing around with the outfielders. Lance Broadway got a Nats fan sitting near me thrown out (or at least when security showed up he fled the scene!) for calling him an asshole. Another Mets fan complimented Dan Warthen on his work (!) and Warthen made the most deflated grunt I’ve ever heard. I don’t think the guy was even being sarcastic.
I also took a load of pics at BP and of the bullpen but I don’t have Flickr or anything so I’m not sure how to show them. Sheffield hit the ball far harder than anyone else in BP – plenty of line drives out of the park.
"Terms of use violation"?
MLB trolls YouTube to make sure no one takes home video of players warming up or high-fiving each other?

"[The Giants] beat us down. We were beat by a grown-man team, a team we want to be like one day. They came in here and took it to us. Out-manned us, out-gunned us. ... It wasn't even close." - Raheem Morris, 9/27/09
A little hard-line enforcement then, I guess
I have no issue with MLB saying “do not videotape the live game action and posting it on YouTube”. Warm-ups and whatnot? Seems a little extreme.

I guess it's because of this
but actually YouTube haven’t sent me an email to say why, nor to ask me to take it down, and they don’t have contact details for this kind of thing (only technical issues)
I have a problem with it
You pay for the ticket, you watch the game and record and throw in on the internet and people watch it. How does the MLB lose money? The game is already over and they replay the game once or twice and then it’s never seen again unless it was a classic.
"We must win and we must know how to win rather than win because we have statistical people."
because MLB owns the copyright to the game, that's why.
I’m not saying it is right…..I’m just saying that’s the way the law works.
I get it
But copyright is meant to keep it so only they make money on it, but if no one makes money on it, why would anyone care?
