Instead we got a god awful broadcast filled with shitty quality, stupid mid game interviews, and an NFL bust known for sexual assault and crab legs.
I just don’t understand spending all of that money on the rights to baseball and then deciding people don’t want to just watch baseball. It’s so clear that ESPN and now Netflix believe that a regular baseball broadcast(that I watch 120+ times a year) isn’t enough to hold the average viewers attention.
Like I’d really like to see the internal studies these companies are doing that is telling them that viewers want to watch awkward in game interviews and C list comedians instead of a traditional broadcast.
Is it all about social media content? Like is all the extra bullshit just to generate online clicks/views after the games are over?
Horrendous broadcast
I just don’t understand what either Netflix or MLB gets out of the partnership. Everyone in my family loves watching baseball including my mom who is a Giants fan. Not a single household signed up for Netflix to watch it. Are people who already have Netflix tuning in, doesn’t seem like a lot of overlap. Conversely, have any of you got Netflix JUST for MLB? Surely you’d just pirate it right?
The problem is they added so much superfluous bullshit instead of just airing the game. Bert was out there in a boat with Lou Seal during the game and they’d cut to him. « HEY BERT WHAT’S GOING ON THERE »
Focus on the game yo
The producers of that broadcast are 100% the people who crank up their Spotify playlist on phone speakers on a hike
Who is Bert and why are they treating him like Kevin Hart? Why was he given the opener and a half-inning slot? I wouldn’t like Kevin Hart either, but I have literally never heard of Bert in my life lol
Not surprised considering they’ve done the same with WWE and NFL content on Netflix. It’s just an opportunity to advertise.
Fans of what?
I actually liked Matt Vasgersian. CC was pretty awkward, but I can forgive that. Bonds in the booth was worth it for his single bomb drop quote alone.
The rest of the broadcast was so lame and run like a reality show. The fact an interview with the manager superseded the first ABS challenge in baseball history is a hilarious microcosm of the entire show
Hold on so you’re telling me that selling the game out to media companies who couldn’t give less of a shit about it and just care to use the captive eyeballs to market their own products was a terrible idea?
The additions of Bert Whogivesafuck and “SA” Winston weren’t carefully calibrated moves to appeal to baseball fans and were instead cynical decisions meant to appeal to the broadest possible audience to maximize eyeballs on Netflix’s very expensive advertising endeavor?
If only somebody could have seen this coming!
I was stuck at work and only caught the second inning. Was it really as bad as I’m reading? Or is this kinda just a first impression overreaction? I remember when Apple had the games there was a lot of complaining at first that seemed to subside a bit as time went on.
