In the "good old days" I could watch baseball with rabbit ears. Then it moved to cable. Now I need cable and Apple TV+. Or go to the ballpark and spend a few hundred bucks on tickets and food. Yah, making the game less accessible to fans seems like a great idea. /s

While I appreciate have this included as part of the regular ATV+ subscription, I wish they would schedule these like actual double headers and have two games back to back. Most of the time, it's two games at the same time. This year looks to be similar.

It’s a tough choice, but I would argue the picture quality of Friday Night Baseball is the best of any baseball broadcaster.

They should put an immersive camera inside the ball.

If only the actual MLB.tv app didn’t have blackouts this problem would be solved.
