Tonight's game is on Apple TV+

[jsnpritchett]

Just a reminder in case you're trying to watch, it's available exclusively on Apple TV+. No subscription needed, but you do need to register for an Apple account if you don't already have one

Fuck that and MLB.

As much as I hate the fact that so many services are showing games now, I really enjoyed the Apple TV one. Not so much the announcing, but the graphics and ambience was very well done.

I'll admit it's kind of annoying but at least it's a way to watch the game without the blackout nonsense.

[Lou]

Ambience?

There is no blackout for those that already paid for Bally Sports but have to switch over to other providers because MLB whored out games to drive Apple+ subscriptions. This is bullshit just like previous seasons herding to Facebook for their subscription boost.

And Bally Sports are assholes because they herd viewers to a single source instead of making their feed available on all cable outlets like Fox Sports did. 

That's y tho.

Are they going to be using the same announcers?

I agree.  MLB should also have it on their app.

Terrific, more hair care tips from the booth.

Nothing baseball fans hate more than change.

[Blarg]

Or shit broadcasts with a crew of idiots that can't follow the play on the field.  

And the Apple+ crew sucks as well.

Like I said, change.  This is going to shock you, but you aren’t the target audience.  They already have you.

Hunter Pence will still find a way to fellate Jose Siri on the broadcast.

But losing the audience you have isn't a good strategy.

True.  I’m taking it as a challenge- I’m going to try to go with the flow, more like a social event or attending a game live where the focus is not completely on the game.  Thank goodness I can come here.

Are you going to watch tonight?  And if the answer is no, is it specifically because of who's announcing?

That's usually why I turn the game off.

Whatever you say, the last time apple aired games it was a shitfest.
