u/mlbofficial, look at where this video starts. Snell's leg is in the air before you even hit play. I'm begging you, cut these videos better.

Probably not, but I don’t think they get preferential treatment here, as far as posting. So, they are trying to be the first ones to post clips.

I think that’s what they meant by “karma chasing.”

I imagine it’s less about chasing karma, is my point. They want positive brand association with the community. Karma only matters for brand accounts insofar as they meet thresholds to post and comment.

The live TV feed was the same. It's been happening all year. Like 10% of the time you don't even see the pitcher release the first pitch of an inning.
