I'll give an example since I'm probably not semantically wording my question correctly: Say a batter grounds out. In real time, the batter will then return to the dugout as the team on defense will throw the ball around the horn, and the on-deck batter will approach the plate. Well if the batter approaches the box before everything else finishes, he'll just wait there. Once everything finishes (pitcher has the ball on the mound, retired batter-runner is in the dugout, defense has positioned themselves, Steve Phillips is done talking, etc.), then the new set of processes will start. So, the camera will then go on the batter (rather than before or after), Gary Thorne will start talking, the PA guy will announce his name, the runners will lead off, etc. In a sense, none of these will stream independently, and instead rely on each other to finish in order to start up again. It almost make the real time idea moot in that it doesn't make use of each process working around each other to decrease the amount of time spent waiting on each other. Second question about real time is will the player actually be able to make his trip around the bases on a home run this time, or will it cut away?

Very good point...I touched on this in question 6. Blzer really nailed it...
