The only problem is that Yahoo is only airing the first two innings of each game. So if you’re a fan of the New York Mets and you excitedly stumble across the game and start watching, you’ll get cut off after about a half-hour of action. And as anyone who watches baseball will tell you, the first two innings are generally not the most exciting.
The truncated games will also have their own announcers, Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman, hosts of Yahoo Sports’ “Baseball Bar-B-Cast” podcast.
As part of the deal, Yahoo Sports will promote Apple TV’s Friday Night Baseball broadcasts through on-site ads, emails, social promotion, how-to-watch articles, “Daily Draw” games, and more, according to Variety. The deal also includes two MLS games featuring Lionel Messi’s Inter Miami CF squad, though those matches will be shown in their entirety.
