by Ron Cervenka It’s probably safe to say that most people aren’t particularly thrilled that the only way to watch Thursday’s series finale between the Dodgers and the red hot Arizona Diamondbacks live at Chase Field today is through Facebook, especially with their recent security breaches and related pending international lawsuits; everybody except for Facebook multi billionaire founder Mark Zuckerberg, that is. But the harsh reality is that… well… if you want to watch Thursday’s series finale between the Dodgers and the red hot Arizona Diamondbacks live at Chase Field today, you will have to create a Facebook account … lawsuits be damned.
Here is a FAQ guide on how you can watch today’s game:

MLB and Facebook agreed to a partnership which will distribute one weekday afternoon game per week exclusively on Facebook Watch. MLB wants to continue experimenting through additional means of delivering baseball broadcasts to a large and diverse audience; as well as utilizing new creative broadcast production elements to learn how fans want to consume and interact with games on a social platform. Facebook has an active sports community of 700 million fans around the world. MLB’s partnership with Facebook was approved by a unanimous vote of all 30 MLB Clubs.
