Why it’s important: As he seeks baseball history, Friday night fans must have an Apple TV + to see him – a situation that not only created an actor in the New York market, but it also highlights the reality of watching sports through streaming.
Fast forward: Streaming services are taking over large parts of the sports field, and adding great sports.
Game mode: Many bars and restaurants do not have streaming services on their televisions, which will require upgrading their video systems.
Big picture: Latency – or the delay in getting live action to the screen – is one of streaming’s biggest problems.
Pete’s thoughts: Apple TV+’s luck getting this game tonight is a huge win for the company — right when it needs to attract a national audience (and drive app downloads).
