Gave up after too many two-minute unskippable ad breaks. Also, every streaming service should just use regular announcers from the home team.

One of the weird streams last season (Roku?) used a booth with one team’s play by play and the other team’s color caster, which I thought was a nice way to make a balanced booth without just bringing in “neutral” casters who don’t know the teams as well.

The game needs to take breaks, so it would have been awesome if the game was ad free and they just showed the ballpark during the breaks, and not missed any pitches. Or they could have done their ridiculous interviews during that time instead of being so disruptive the gameplay.

I was a bit disappointed to see ads on my ad free Netflix but not terribly surprised.
