How did Facebook get exclusive MLB rights to cover my Mariners game today with their 'Play by Play'?

This thing isn't even like watching a ballgame. There is no sound what-so-ever. The graphics is a unidentified batter standing at home plate. You have to read the print to try and understand what is going on! I have the radio on the game and this FB thing is delayed. This isn't watching a ballgame! It's watching a glorified scoreboard!

Welcome to DU, Mr Stanton. Maybe your question would be better answered by your media division?

I've been following them the whole season and this game isn't on their 'exclusive' cable station. And the facebook graphics are sub-par!

Eariler, I brought up MLB Standings, clicked on the game and it said it could only be watched on FB Play by Play.
