So if you\u2019re a fan of the New York Mets and you excitedly stumble across the game and start watching, you\u2019ll get cut off after about a half-hour of action. And as anyone who watches baseball will tell you, the first two innings are generally not the most exciting.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The truncated games will also have their own announcers, Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman, hosts of Yahoo Sports\u2019 \u201cBaseball Bar-B-Cast\u201d podcast.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As part of the deal, Yahoo Sports will promote Apple TV\u2019s Friday Night Baseball broadcasts through on-site ads, emails, social promotion, how-to-watch articles, \u201cDaily Draw\u201d games, and more, according to Variety. The deal also includes two MLS games featuring Lionel Messi\u2019s Inter Miami CF squad, though those matches will be shown in their entirety.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The only problem is that Yahoo is only airing the first two innings of each game.
