I play every ML game and skip some of the cutscenes - usually depends on what they are - typically it's the batter walk-up from the 2nd time through the lineup on (first time I see what stat overlay it will give, especially for the opposing team - I can see who might be "hot" or "cold" etc).
I wish the occasional "scout report" on the pitcher before the game a) happened more often and b) was based on stats/rating (is it?)
I try not to skip too many because I like seeing the stat overlays and such.
