Cardinals fans just wanted to watch Nolan Gorman’s debut on basic cable. Instead, they had to figure out Apple TV. It didn’t go too well.
The St. Louis fanbase has been looking forward to the debut of Nolan Gorman. Imagine the disappointment when fans found out the top prospect will debut on a night the Cardinals are an Apple TV+ Friday Night Game.
Cardinal fans had mixed, but mostly miffed, reactions to the debut of highly-anticipated prospect Nolan Gorman. Only because the debut came on the night when their beloved team appeared on Apple TV+.
While at their Triple-A Memphis affiliate, Gorman was hitting .308/.367/.677 with 15 homers, 31 runs, and 23 RBI.
He’s the most exciting prospect for St. Louis in some time and does not have easy access to the game was a bit of a bummer. Especially after the single off Zack Thompson in the second inning.
Cardinals fans not happy with Apple TV broadcast
While Gorman did record his first MLB hit, it seems some Cardinals fans weren’t thrilled that the game was on Apple TV.

Most fans, of course, were just excited to see the prospect make his debut and were willing to watch however they can.
To the people complaining about the @Cardinals game only on @AppleTV:

It wouldn’t be baseball if we didn’t find something new to complain about on a nightly basis.
