1. AppleTV announced Tuesday that its first Major League Baseball telecast will be the Mets-Nationals game on April 8.
This happens to be Max Scherzer’s first start as a Met. The game is exclusive to AppleTV+. It will not air locally in New York or Washington. It’s AppleTV+ or bust.
Some shortsighted people are adamant this is a way for baseball to “grow,” but most fans are angry that they won’t be able to see their team play. I have several thoughts about all of this, so here we go:
• The first game will be free.
