I literally despise these Apple broadcasts. Despise them. Everything about it stinks

Not sure how I feel about the on field interview of Correa…

Just Carlos and no commentators was good

Who knew you could be made to miss Dick Bremer this much?

Nah, the video quality is excellent.

I think it's probably more important what Bundy thought of it - could he hear Correa talking to the TV crew while walking that batter? Probably not. 

Anyway, I don't mind those things during the ASG or during Spring Training, but that seemed a little much. But then again, times are changing and this Apple TV + thing is full of gimmicks like this in order to attract attention and generate a buzz. 

Baseball needs as much chatter as it can get.

Like, are there people out there wondering what the hit probability is after every pitch? Like oh, what is it at now? I must know!

"Ahhh c'mon Bundy, let me make a play!  Hey, you wanna play shortstop?" 

LOL, good stuff.

I don’t notice much of a difference IMO.

You’re due for a new TV then. It’s a vast difference for me between cable and 4K streaming. 

[bighat]

Pathetic inning by the MN offense there, absolutely horrific. 

That ain't Apple TV's fault. 

[Sutter50]

Why is everyone so miserable tonight?

[Hrbowski]

Why do English speakers insist on pronouncing Pérez "Pear-ez"??

I recently had a 16 year old plasma die, so I had to replace it.  The plasma still had a really nice picture, but it's night and day different with the new one.  It's eye openingly awesome!

I’m watching in 4k .  MLB.tv doesn’t stream any better than 1080p

[howeda7]

Bundy...pitching to his ballpark...

I wouldn’t mind if this was the future of baseball… I can handle National TV crews if it means it’s ridiculously easy to watch your local baseball team in 4K.

Best get the eyes checked then! ?

I can live with 1080p or even 720p, but there is a noticeable difference with 4 k

Definitely.  I usually watch sports muted anyway, so a crystal clear picture is perfectly fine with me!  The crappy announcers don't phase me a bit!

For the same reason they pronounce Gio - gee oh - not  - joe - as it should be.

The MLB.tv stream must be as good as this. Locally, the cable stream is noticeably worse.

Payton and Eli on MNF is pretty good

Baseball in 4k seems like the best reason to get the peepers fixed, in my opinion!

It's unreal!  You wouldn't be sorry.

Fair, but that would require me to watch the NFL then.  Hard pass.  

That said, I do thoroughly enjoy Peyton's sense of humor.
