MLB.com At Bat adds Chromecast support, lets you enjoy the game on the big screen

There’s a lot to love about the Chromecast, such as its extremely affordable price tag and how it makes it easy to watch your favorite programming from Netflix, Hulu and several other popular sources. Even better, the Chromecast recently opened up its SDK to more developers and we’ve seen a stead trickle of brand new apps.

For baseball fans, however, the Chromecast’s lack of support for MLB.com At Bat has probably been a deal breaker up until now. The good news is that this changes today, as a new update has arrived to the At Bat app, making it easy to cast games over to the big screen.

Of course there is a catch: you’ll need to pay either $24.99 a month or $129.99 for an annual membership in order to have access to an unlimited number of live MLB games. Still, if you are a potential cord cutter looking for a way to get your baseball fix without having a traditional cable subscription, today’s update for Chromecast support is certainly a major win.

To grab the latest version of the app, you’ll want to head on over to Google Play.

SwimmingHoles.Info Lists Free Swimming Spots and Hot Springs to Enjoy

S

With the weather getting warmer, you might be tempted to get away from it all and cool off. If you wouldn't mind a refreshing dip while you're at it, SwimmingHoles.info can show you where your area you can go for a swim without the crowds and concrete, no pool pass required.

SwimmingHoles.Info is a community-sourced list of hot springs, swimming holes, public lakes and resovoirs, and other swimming spots around the US and Canada that the public can use. Just drag the map to your location (or type in your city or ZIP code in the search bar) and look around at what's nearby. Surprisingly, I found quite a few near me, even though I live in a relatively urban area—perfect for getting away from the crowds and noise of the neighborhood community pool, and great for a spring or summer daytrip.

Of course, swimming in natural places come with their own dangers, and the service has an extensive set of tips to stay safe when swimming in natural waters, from avoiding bites and stings to drowning and injury. Hit the link below to see what's available near you, and to read more.

Thanks to mfusion for the tip!
