Mets, Nationals fans complain about being first MLB game on Apple TV
By Ethan Lee
New York Mets and Washington Nationals fans aren’t even remotely happy with the quality of the MLB broadcast on Apple TV.
The New York Mets and Washington Nationals were two of the first teams to make it on Apple TV (along with the Houston Astros and the Los Angeles Angels) and apparently fans aren’t all that impressed with the broadcast.
For those who are unaware, MLB and Apple are breaking out a new broadcast option for baseball fans this season. However, it doesn’t seem like the whole thing is going all that smoothly.
As a whole, people are pretty unhappy about the whole experience.

Folks really aren’t thrilled by the product that they’re getting. The whole deal seems clunky and there are a number of issues that need to be worked out. And of course, fans who would like to at least be remotely familiar with the broadcasters calling the game don’t know who is calling the game.
So yeah, it’s not the best first impression that could have been made. It certainly could be much better than what it is. But hey, maybe things will improve and the folks over at Apple TV will figure out how to connect with baseball fans.
While they’re at it, maybe they’ll find a way to actually get the service to be streamlined and easy to access for more viewers.
But really, it remains to be seen if any of that could happen. It also remains to be seen if baseball fans will give the Apple TV broadcasting crew and the folks behind the scenes a real chance to do that though.
