Question about audience-less baseball

3. The echoes, and more

Oh yeah, the echoes. That probably sounds more realistic, although I don't know what the tapes sound like. For that matter, I don't know if they're even using tapes. They probably have a lot of sound clips that a computer splices together in real time to create an effect with slider parameters for intensity, volume, etc.

I don't think it's offensive either. It's better than silence would be, and in what I've seen they do a really good job of making it real.

I don't mind the cardboard cutouts either. In fact, some of them are kind of fun, and they're better than looking at empty seats. The Dodgers are doing something cool: you can buy a "seat"--they put a life size cutout of you in a seat, for a charge. If a game ball hits your cutout, you get the ball.

I think the NBA and then the NFL are more likely than baseball to deal with protest, etc. Baseball seems to have more Curt Schillings.
