Mlb 2020

I'm having a hard time getting into the season.
Watched probably 40% of the Yankee games so far, and only a handful from around the league.
That's a huge reduction for me.
The baseball has been good. Actually better then I was expecting. No rust, and the players are committed. It doesn't look to me like they're just showing up for the paycheck.
That said, hearing so and so could win the batting tittle, or hit .400 this year just doesn't sit well with me, and makes me want to change the channel.
For pure entertainment value, I can watch, but the part of me that loves baseball is left unfulfilled.

Oh, and I loathe the fake crowd noise that's added to the broadcast. It just takes me out of the game...

Worse than the laugh tracks on particularly unfunny sitcoms.

One of the Reds operation execs comes into Straus Tobacconist downtown. They are trying to improve the quality of the crowd sounds on both TV and radio. I mentioned an early game when it sounded like fire trucks, sirens and all, came over the radio broadcast like they were driving through the outfield instead of outside the stadium.

It's gotten better since then.
