Alex Rodriguez Was a Disaster in the Booth During Yankees-Red Sox

[Auggie]

6. My $2.99 solution to over-produced, inane network/cable baseball audio: MLB Audio

$2.99 a month gives access to audio produced by the teams playing. Watch the broadcast on ESPN, FOX, or TBS but without dumbed-down play-by-play, A-Rod, Rod Darling, irrelevant side-line reporting and features, and overtly loud ambient crowd noise.

I caught every 2010, 2012, 2014 postseason Giants game this way and every 2016 Indians game. Insights are more informative because they come from announcers who've been following the team all year. The Giants' flagship station KNBR announcers are exceptional, but I can understand Dodgers fans wanting to listen to their local folks. Same with Astros, Red Sox, etc.

Sure beats Joe Buck.

Controls allow you to pause audio so you can sync to the broadcast (important if you stream the broadcast).

Try it. $2.99 is cheaper than a latte at Starbucks, for crying out loud.
