Dear MLB.com,

As evidenced by your almost immediate response to the release of the iPhone on your mobile updates page for real-time info, stats and pitch-by-bitch play, some non-trivial number of your customers must have iPhones by now. Anyone who reads this site with any regularity would know that I waited in line to get an iPhone on the day it was released, and was pleased by your response. Even though most of the places I watch or check baseball have some sort of Wi-Fi, I still prefer the low-bandwidth version a large part of the time. However recently you have decided to put a banner ad across the top of most of these pages. This means that on any of the real-time game stat and pitch-by-bitch windows, the most important stats are now obfuscated as there is no longer enough real estate on the iPhone screen, and no real way to scale the image. This is pretty much me just whining however it has resulted in me not using that page very much anymore. If it is necessary to use ads at all, I am sure there is a more logical way to place that ad so the content doesn’t suffer.

Thank you,
acosta
