From what I can tell, that is the fault of the way mlb.com changes over between "pregame" status and "in progress" status. As a result, the program thinks that the game is in limbo, much like a game that's hours away. I considered enabling the buttons according to the actual time, but decided I might run into complications with time zones. I am also not sure that I can even get the stream information at that point to let you play the audio.
