I'm just now realizing I won't be able to watch period.

It's like they try to think up ways to alienate their fanbase.

They can’t figure out who their fanbase is anymore…..

I'm sure Amazon paid them some ungodly sum for the exclusive rights.

That's all this Steinbrenner cares about.

I think Apple has some exclusive rights with MLB now, too. Everything is heading to subscription now, and live sports is one of the biggest prizes for these streaming companies. MLB will make a zillion dollars on it. They haven’t cared about the fans for a long time.

Here's why Yankees didn't go for Correa

When Carlos Correa signed a three-year contract with the Twins \-\- a deal that includes opt-outs after each of the first two seasons -- many wondered why the Yankees hadn’t tried to sign the All-Star shortstop to a similar short-term deal. New York’s top two prospects -- Anthony Volpe and

As for baseball, America's pastime, you’ll have to turn to the streaming home of Ted Lasso. Starting in April, two MLB games will air every Friday night exclusively on Apple TV+. Apple reportedly paid $85 million for the rights to just two games per week. The MLB’s media apparatus will produce the broadcasts, so all Apple has to do is make sure the stream works. Apple TV+ hasn’t yet been used to stream live events of this scale, so it remains to be seen how the streaming quality and performance will compare to regular TV.

Put simply, it’s a sign of the times. Only 56 percent of Americans watched network TV over cable or satellite in 2021, down from 76 percent in 2015, according to Pew Research. It's no secret why: Streaming is cheaper and more convenient. Even the most basic cable package is more expensive than Netflix's priciest tier, and only 39 percent of Americans said they preferred live TV over on-demand content in a 2018 Hub Entertainment Research study, as reported by Deadline. However, sports can’t really be consumed the same way as Stranger Things. There just isn’t much juice to watching a game on demand hours or even days after the outcome has been decided.

i dropped direct tv and the big hole is watching sports Rest of the nonsense u can see for free

Apple and Amazon are changing the way we watch live sports

We live in an on-demand world, but Apple and Amazon know that touchdowns and home runs are best seen live.

Only two players have more WAR since Donaldson became an everyday player. Trout and Betts (though Mookie has almost one less season played over that span)
