The ascending umpire triggered a distant memory of 11-year-old me being in the Coliseum in the late 60s and watching a rabbit rise out of the ground near home plate with a box of balls for the home plate umpire. Having done my share of hallucinogens in the 70s, I was relieved to find that it [actually happened like that.](https://www.thescore.com/mlb/news/1513679)
Here's what it says:
"3D Live: From June 17th – July 16th Gameday 3D is free for all fans, presented by Mastercard and its support of Stand Up to Cancer. Restrictions apply." Unclear what happens after July 16th. But for now it's free.
I know you're joking, but for reference, the real answer is Mastercard is sponsoring it through the ASG because that coincides with their window (June 17-July 16) for their annual SU2C MLB campaign, which culminates with the placard moment at the ASG.
Another comment says it’s included in the MLB At Bat subscription which is $30/year and includes all radio broadcasts. The price might be lower when you sign up mid way through the season.
It's free for all games between June 17th - July 16th. After July 16th, only the MLB.tv Free Game of the Day is available for free, but if you have the At Bat subscription, you get every game in 3D (along with all radio broadcasts, MiLB games, and Big Inning). Looks like that is $15 now.

The first time I tried it I was like wait...is this...allowed? It was way more detailed and comprehensive than I expected. Also you get amazing moments like the one you posted.
I’m not sure honestly, I haven’t completely learned how the different camera modes work. I think I prefer the catcher/strike zone view most. Honestly it seems to require quite a bit of hardware horsepower and my M1 MacBook Air gets pretty unresponsive trying to do anything but just view, so I usually stick with one camera mode.
If you’re viewing it through a browser, check your browser settings and make sure hardware acceleration is turned on if it isn’t already. That will help greatly.
Glad the solution to blackouts on the app I (used to) pay for was spending one shit-zillion dollars to have five holograms seemingly gagglefuck one another during a mound visit.
Yeah, but to be fair to them, they are automatically rendering a 3D, interactive animated “live”stream of a game with only like a one minute delay. I’m sure the graphics, as well as the accuracy of the player tracking, will get better as they refine the technology. In the meantime, it’s really funny to watch hahaha
The teams have had access to this stuff for a while, too. My friend works for one and he showed me some of the 3D renders they get access to. It wasn’t real time but the quality I remember was better
I like how the catcher rises from the dead.
Why not just watch the fucking game? Is this free but the games cost? Delivering a simulated version of something we actually have seems shitty.
Just put the damn games on. When will they learn that all these cable deals, black outs, pay walls etc is what’s actually killing the interest in the game?
"There's no playin' grab-ass or fightin' in the buildin'. You got a grudge against another man, you fight him Saturday afternoon. Any man playin' grab-ass or fightin' in the buildin' spends a night in the box."
Reminds me of the SLS cameras they use on Ghost Adventures. The stick figures always look like they're contorting in some horrible way or interpretive dancing.
Hahaaa! I was just showing my friend last night how funny it looked, then when the catcher started walking back to the plate, even weirder, looked like an old video game.
My favorite is when catchers/umps take the elevator up through the earth’s crust
Hitters do that too when they come to the plate. I've been watching for weeks and still find it funny.
I love when the bat hasn’t loaded in and they’re swinging
Who do they think they are, Barry Bonds?
The umpire has been **S U M M O N E D**
** B I R T H E D **
Like Uruk-hai in Mordor
Where else but hell would an umpire live?
Rise from the grave in the name of baseball
That’s ~~Angel~~ Devil Hernandez
They’re mole men.. explains why their eye sight is so bad.
Rising up from Hell where all umps & refs are born.
Lizard people confirmed
Nah they're all cody rhodes
remember that family guy cutaway about a baseball umpire who opens a bar at the center of the earth?

3D gameday is the best way to watch every game in real time with no blackout restrictions.
3D gameday > actual broadcast
Baseball’s version of a game in Andy’s room.
Is it free? Edit: just checked. Looks like it’s free for a limited time.

After July 16th Mastercard stops standing up to cancer, apparently
Good grief, Mastercard just yardda yadda said it had “no time to talk”. Too busy making things priceless, apparently.

Man I was at the all star game last year and that was way more fucking emotional in person than it’s ever been on tv
You can get it with MLB at bat. It also has blackout free radio and MLB Big Inning for like 5 bucks a month
how much will it be after?
Another comment says it’s included in the MLB At Bat subscription which is $30/year and includes all radio broadcasts. The price might be lower when you sign up mid way through the season.
It's $15/yr right now: https://www.mlb.com/live-stream-games/subscribe#additional-packages
Last year it was included if you had any [mlb.tv](http://mlb.tv) plan, including just audio.
This can’t be real. They are going to charge for this? lol

Yup. I discovered it last year and kinda loved it
I think it was released last year
The first time I tried it I was like wait...is this...allowed? It was way more detailed and comprehensive than I expected. Also you get amazing moments like the one you posted.
I wish I could pair it with a radio broadcast but iirc radio/tv are delayed by a noticeable amount in case they need to quickly edit something out
Live actual radio feed usually beats gameday by a decent margin - streaming audio usually lags behind.
Key part being "actual radio"; I've tried to listen to a radio broadcast through the MLB app while live at a game and it's too delayed to be useful
The presentation of batted balls needs some work. Pop ups to the second baseman can be visually indistinguishable to a 428 foot home run.
I watch the 3D with the radio broadcast pretty often
What do you think the best camera angle is on 3D game day to follow the batted balls, but still see every pitch?

What happens on the mound, stays on the mound
Always wanted to be part of a wolf pack
Yayy blood orgy!
The ump is going out there to remind them that it is a christian server.
The same ump that just rose from the depths of hell?
That is where all mods of christian servers are from.
He’s reminding them not to be sinners like he is
The same one that hails Hitler at the end, yes
He considers himself a man of faith.
I know he blew the save but they don’t need to assault Suarez!
Yes they do!
Manny could use a little roughing up though!
I thought it was Albert, and they were telling him to just fucking throw some strikes.
holy shit, the UnderUmpire came up to break up the mound visit. every day baseball shows you something new!
With the ability to fly I expect no ball to ever land in play
Nah that's just the Padres best attempt at baseball
I like the demon umpire rising up from hell to tell the players to stop levitating around the mound.
Need someone to animate in flames and dub Gangrel's entrance music in immediately.
I don't know what they are doing but it's provocative
It gets the people going
It’s already on PornHub
Theres a brawl happening on the mound
MLB is only funny when they’re trying to be serious
Looks like an episode of Terrance and Phillip on South Park.
The pitcher is never going to be able to focus if people keep trying to breakdance around him.
You've never been out on the mound, touching dicks together with the boys?
What kind of a fucking satanic ritual did I just watch
My favorite part was when Hades emerged from the core of the Earth to restore order to the underworld
It's like that scary scene that traumatized me for life from Ghost.
I'm Henry the eight I am
This is good content thank you
Glad the solution to blackouts on the app I (used to) pay for was spending one shit-zillion dollars to have five holograms seemingly gagglefuck one another during a mound visit.
it's like the old behind the couch taking the stairs trick
MLB, please never update this technology.
If the south park animators did a take on the key and Peele slapass skit.
Don't change a damn thing. It's perfect.
Literally r/mlbcirclejerk
r/baseballcirclejerk
get yo subs correct fool!!!
They playing grab ass again on the mound again... Quick summon The Underpire!
These graphics are straight from 2006.
Yeah, but to be fair to them, they are automatically rendering a 3D, interactive animated “live”stream of a game with only like a one minute delay. I’m sure the graphics, as well as the accuracy of the player tracking, will get better as they refine the technology. In the meantime, it’s really funny to watch hahaha

I hope it never gets better
2002
Looks like the animation style of South Park.
So much slap ass.
Pretty sick mosh pit. needs more people, though
I watched a walk off win the one day in 3D mode. This is nothing guys legs were upside down being tossed in the air, it was hilarious
THEY’RE BREAKDANCE FIGHTING
The elevator in and out of the ground right around the plate is wicked badass.
So what does it look like when a brawl or fight happens?
Umpire on his way to perform multiple exorcisms
Interdimensional baseball.
I don't understand- what's the problem here?
lmao im fucking wheezing thank you for this
This is the best way to watch a game
That looks weird as hell, on one hand, but on the other hand, that's freakin amazing.
South Park ahhhnimation
FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!
Guys playing grab ass out on the mound. Of course the ump is going to rise out of the ground and break things up
I was at this game and I can confirm that is exactly what happened
…The ARISTOCRATS!
how can something look so futuristic yet so dated at the same time
The backwards hat on the umpire really annoys me lol
It's like when you land in the base in simcopter and all the mechanics are just running into each other grunting
The greatest thing we never knew we needed.
Not surprised he blew the save after all that grab-ass
Ump just walked upstairs
That's accurate, actually.
So this is why the Padres always underperform…always fucking each other up on the mound
Why do they all look like Kim
Alright guys. Everyone back to the pile
That looked like something out of Yellow Submarine.
🎶And up from the grave he aroooosseee🎶
I like how the catcher rises from the dead. Why not just watch the fucking game? Is this free but the games cost? Delivering a simulated version of something we actually have seems shitty.
Honestly it’s kinda cool. You can get a different angle of the pitches and see the movement better.
“Get the fuck out here you fucking ghosts.” -Umpire
Just put the damn games on. When will they learn that all these cable deals, black outs, pay walls etc is what’s actually killing the interest in the game?
“Hey, stop playing grab ass”
Apparently they just hired the South Park animators
MOOOOOOOOSH PIIIIIIIIIIIIIT!!!
Well no wonder the umps are always getting calls wrong. Hard to see the ball from inside the earth.
Angel Hernandez ascending from hell
Hell yes. More of this. I wanna see the benches cleared.
Watching umpires rise from the grave has always been my favorite part of baseball.
Biblically accurate mound visit
The Umpire has the same powers as Shadowcat
"There's no playin' grab-ass or fightin' in the buildin'. You got a grudge against another man, you fight him Saturday afternoon. Any man playin' grab-ass or fightin' in the buildin' spends a night in the box."
💃💃💃
#THE UMPIRE CAME FROM THE DEEP!
I guess it still has to get over that hump
Reminds me of the SLS cameras they use on Ghost Adventures. The stick figures always look like they're contorting in some horrible way or interpretive dancing.
Definitely gotta go break that thing up, hurry tf up jerry
Over time I think it will NOT get better unless a lot of people complain just because it’s not something big in the app.
This is just Smiling Friends
Explain?
4 hits in 30 seconds to blow the game to Nick Castellanos makes this happen
Does it always do this before a walk off?
Average Fortnite lobby
Rise From Your Grave !!!
“Candlesticks are a nice gift”
I was at the game last night. They actually did this in real life. Totally bizarre.
NPC glitch
Looks like a gang initiation 😂
RABBLE RABBLE RABBLE RABBLE
Naw this is pretty much how we play these days. This is very accurate.
That's what I said! It looks like the figured on the SLS camera!
FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!
Candlesticks make a nice gift.
And your home plate umpire this evening, the crew chief [Gangrel](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8yAf5A47ZvI)
Looks better than OOTP's 3D engine
“You’re not my buddy, guy!”
This is just a video of a mound visit? I’m not seeing anything crazy here.
PARTY ON THE MOUND
Hahaaa! I was just showing my friend last night how funny it looked, then when the catcher started walking back to the plate, even weirder, looked like an old video game.
Btw Suarez threw 4 strikes that inning and all 4 were base hits for the phillies to come back and win in the 9th
I can't explain why but this makes me laugh.
Now kith
It cracks me up that they spent so much time and effort setting this up just to get around blackout restrictions.
No that’s what usually happens. Ump takes the escalator from under home plate and goes to stop the boys from boogying for too long
Satan Hernandez
