Apple TV - good and bad

Apple plays my home team games on most Fridays. Seattle Mariners fwiw. Over the last two seasons, they have improved.

Last year, they broadcast in interlaced 4k mode, and the picture quality was awful. The ball would streak across the screen, and when the camera would move, the picture would blur. Now, they are using non interlaced cameras and the picture quality is so much better. Yay!

However, the number of commercials I have to endure to watch these games is very onerous.

I know people who are big fans who cant afford to pay Apple or Prime or whoever to see games.

It sucks.

Between this and diluting the available talent by having WAY too many teams, it is a problem.

And the way pitchers have become so specialized that you will rarely see one with a complete game. Surely far more rare than 30 years ago.
