I don't know why, but I get the impression this isn't drawing the eyeballs they'd hoped

Thanks god no red sox games. Don't have to listen to that horrible commentary

Thank god no more yankee games! The commentary is horrendous! They need new announcers asap.

Thank god no Dodger games--the commentary makes my ears bleed.

LOL Blue Jays, Cubs, and Pirates fans. It's gonna be painful.
Maybe this forum needs some new commentary too. It's like an echo-chamber here.

I think the ATV+ commentary is worse than the local broadcasters, but national broadcasts always are. However, ATV+ is better than the other national broadcasts. I'll watch ATV+ over ESPN or TBS anytime.

Baseball has clearly lost its touch. Years ago, baseball featured variety of dynamic playmaking; defense mattered, base steal mattered, bunting mattered, situational hitting mattered, and pitching location mattered. Now it's all about throwing 100MPH and swinging for the fences, which led to many pitches who throw 100 MPH cannot locate fastball for god's sake and many batters who cannot hit better than .200.

I know baseball was the start for Apple TV's sports features, but the next level comes from NFL Sunday Ticket or EPL.

You should watch the NHL. Hockey is an incredibly exciting sport that deserves more attention in the US.

The announcers are not the regular teams' announcers. Their announcers are unknown, but that can be refereshing. I'm a die hard baseball fan. Give them time, they'll get it.
