I'm not exactly a fan of baseball, although, as I live in a household that has a DirecTV satellite system, I have noticed something is missing from one of the TV Apps that DirecTV, which is owned by AT&T, includes as part of its satellite television service.
The app I'm referencing is the Scoreguide app on DirecTV satellite receivers, which is designed to provide scores and season standings for some of the more popular sports leagues in the United States, including Major League Baseball (MLB). However, I've noticed that, for MLB, Scoreguide is no longer providing standings for all three divisions in each of the two MLB leagues, the American League and the National League. Instead, Scoreguide is displaying the standings for only one of the three divisions in each league. In the area of the country where I live, Scoreguide is only providing the Central Division standings. I'm not sure if this issue is happening in other parts of the country.
This is something that is a real annoyance to baseball fans, as this forces them to basically stop watching a MLB game and use a computer, smartphone, or other type of device to look up the standings for divisions that Scoreguide does not provide standings for, whereas, if Scoreguide provided standings for all divisions of each league, they could continue to watch the game while viewing the standings. Also, if one were to use Scoreguide to determine which teams currently hold the first and second Wild Card spots in a particular league, that would currently be impossible, since, at the very least, one would need to know the standings of all three divisions within either the American League or the National League to know which team is in which Wild Card spot in a particular league.
