Dodgers hit .300! There’s an app for that? (web links)

Technology will soon envelop every living, breathing thing in the entire universe. Pretty sure Philip K. Dick warned us about this at some point.

Still, when it makes things easier, what’s to fight?

It certainly has entered the Dodgers’ clubhouse with force, as Dodgers.com’s Ken Gurnick writes in this piece on the latest technology to take the team by storm.

This is application for the iPad marketed by Bloomberg Sports that provides video of game situations 24 hours a day. It is available only to professional players at a cost of $200 per month.

Players can watch video of at-bats against upcoming pitchers in their hotel room or on team buses, instead of having to crowd around a clubhouse monitor.

“It’s the best thing a baseball player can have,” Matt Kemp told Gurnick.
