Everyday baseball watcher here. The video quality is great on Apple TV+. The only thing I miss of course is the local announcers, but that's a problem on all national broadcasts (Fox, etc...)

Damn shame. Big apple fan, big MLB fan - can't stand the two together.

The on-air talent doesn't even pretend to like the game. Apple, if you want to shake things up - build a broadcasting booth that matters for each individual game like (good) playoff coverage by cable networks.

Pull old players, "legendary" broadcasters from the relevant cities. You know the schedule, a year in advance!

Even retired voices, what a great gig for a guy like John Sterling who called Yankee games on the radio for decades, but found himself ready to retire from everyday work.

I think the biggest issue is that MLB is splitting their coverage up so much that it makes it a pain to be a fan when you have to coordinate between 2-3 different sources depending on the day.

As an MLBTV subscriber, I hate when my team is on Apple's Friday night baseball as they don't show it on MLBTV in that case.
