Talk:MLB Advanced Media

One of the key statistics in this article is dubious and potentially misleading
The second sentence of this article reads:

"The company operates the official web site for the league and the thirty Major League Baseball club web sites via MLB.com, which draws four million hits per day."

In the professional practice of Web analytics, there's no actual measurement called a "hit." The term "hit" is used most often by publishers or unsophisticated news reporters to refer to either page views or visits, but sometimes to even less ordinary measures. Saying "hits" is often a means of inflating Web site traffic, for example where unique visitors would be the pertinent metric. Site owners report "hits" instead of unique visitors because page views -- the presumed synonym for hits -- are usually far higher than unique visitors.

I would suggest that the article insist on an actual traffic metric from an independent source like ComScore or Nielsen. These services have their own measurement problems, such as statistical extrapolation from survey data, but short of looking at the actual Web analytics tools in use at mlb.com the services are the best we have.

BAMTech to be a standalone article
A discussion has been place to consider making the BAMTech page a standalone article. I agree to this as BAMTech has a majority ownership by The Walt Disney Company. Maintaining the BAMTech information in the MLB Advanced Media section is illogical as the MLB Advanced Media no longer have the majority stake, and the purpose of BAMTech is going to be shifting from serving MLB to serving The Walt Disney Company.

 * Strongly Agree. It doesn't make much sense to keep BAMTech inside MLB Advanced Media. -- nafSadh did say 20:09, 11 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your contribution Nafsadh. If there is one more person who agrees to the article split then I will go ahead and conduct it. Iftekharahmed96 (talk) 22:31, 11 August 2017 (UTC)


 * I vote in favor of an article split, with a stipulation that some sort of company history pre-Disney remain on the MLBAM page, whether in its current form or edited down to a paragraph. SigKauffman (talk) 14:31, 12 August 2017 (UTC)
 * The vote has been unanimously agreed to have MLB Advanced Media and BAMTech as individual articles. Iftekharahmed96 (talk) 20:59, 13 August 2017 (UTC)

MLB At Bat section needs a real description
This section tells us nothing whatsoever explaining what MLB At Bat app is for or why it might be useful.

The 2nd paragraph and accompanying quotation seems to me is completely extraneous and should be deleted.

Can someone add a description of what the app is for and what it does? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Evx (talk • contribs) 00:16, 7 September 2018 (UTC)


 * The section definitely needs expansion, and if a good history of the app can be added, then a separate article would probably be warranted. Unfortunately, creating this kind of content isn't I'm good at. - BilCat (talk) 23:56, 12 December 2018 (UTC)
