He's not wrong tho.

An Opening Day game involving the Yankees should not be on Netflix.

Cable companies are losing money to cord-cutters, so more sports are moving games to streaming services.

However, you need to sign up for a bunch of streaming services to get games.

Like with MLB, you need access to FOX, FS1, TBS, ESPN, NBC, MLB Network and then Netflix, Peacock, and Apple, if you want access to every national game.

Plus, some local teams don't even have local cable deals anymore, so you need to sign up for another specific streaming service. It's becoming more difficult to watch games

What the fk does this even mean?

-It's gatekeeping...Do we want the sport to grow or not?
-Netflix is more accessible than the YES Network
-Baseball fans cry about the lack of national and mainstream coverage. Netflix is part of the solution for expanding the game to casuals and non-traditional demographics.

Mad Dogg just yappin'

I don't have an issue with games being on Netflix. A Yankees Opening Day game should not be one of them.

it's the other way around. We value our local broadcasts more and don't like it when national broadcasts are up there pretending to know the teams they're covering. Tomorrow, it'll be Pirates /Mets on Peacock. Mets fans would rather have had their home opener on SNY with Gary, Ron and Keith doing commentary.

I hate Netflix (streaming in general) and hate that I need all these services to be able to watch my team's games all season, but the same people complaining about this have no problem leaving their families on Christmas to tune into two football teams they don't even like on the same service.

The pre game show had famous jameis Barry Bonds and Albert Pujols

If I’m watching the Mets I definitely want to listen to Ron and Keith.

But I couldn’t give a shyt about the Yankees broadcasters at all.

I still remember the Phil Rizzuto years and frankly Bobby Murcer was way more enjoyable than Michael Kay.

I don't even care for Kay (the rest are cool), but the Yankees putting a game a week on Amazon Prime is just irritating.
