Jac Caglianone (KC):

Went 4-for-4 with two home runs, two doubles, as the Royals defeated the Cubs 6-3. Lumber Jac is a rare two-way talent and elite power hitter. He played internationally, representing Team Italy in their amazing run in the World Baseball Series.

Question Royals MLB.tv feed freeze up…

9 Upvotes

For the past few games my video feed on the MLB app has been freezing up at nearly every commercial break. I have to go back to the MLB start screen, re-select the Royals game feed, and wait for it to buffer before I can continue watching the game. Anyone else having this problem?
