"The new baseball season starts tomorrow, and yes, that tall gaunt figure in the black floor length robe with a sickle where its backpack is supposed to be is standing right next to Aaron Judge, its head tilted meaningfully toward the flagpole in right center."
"The Yankees play the Giants in San Francisco Wednesday evening in a game that marks the beginning of MLB's brand new deal with Netflix."
"That this game is siloed is not a condemnation of Netflix necessarily, but it does make for a tasty juxtaposition that the same people who finally quit the Duke and Duchess of Kent as content providers have signed up Barry Bonds to be in the booth Wednesday night."
The new baseball season starts amid labor tensions, with every game feeling the pressure of a potential strike. Major League Baseball has partnered with Netflix for broadcasts, beginning with a Yankees vs. Giants game. This partnership highlights accessibility issues, as the game will only be available on Netflix. The inclusion of Barry Bonds in the broadcast booth adds an intriguing element, especially for those who oppose his Hall of Fame candidacy. The situation reflects broader challenges within the sport and its management.
