Imagine watching a baseball game with only the pure sounds of the game outside on the patio, warm summer night, crickets in the background, no sign of rain. A man can dream
This isn't bad. I'd like to see some kind of hybrid. Minimal commentary. Maybe just announce the batter's name, and the outcome of the at bat, any action on the base paths, runner advances from second to third, runner scores etc. Announce any pitching changes. That's it. That way you can still know what's going on from the other room or whatever.
I think a quick recap after every inning and half inning is better, as what you’ve described is essentially most of the commentary you’ll hear nowadays.
That is exactly what made guys like Jack Buck, Vin Scully, Curt Gowdy, Red Barber, Mel Allen and guys like that so wonderful when they were on TV. Ray Scott was like that on the CBS football games way back when, and so was Pat Summerall before he got paired with John Madden. They knew when to talk, and when to shut up. Watch Scully's call of Kirk Gibson's World Series Home Run, and how much he just stays out of the way and lets the picture and the crowd noise tell the story.
I'm a Red Sox fan and I've seen Yankees commentator Michael Kay take tons of criticism over the years because he sometimes goes silent during small portions of the game. But honestly, I think that shows a commentator has an appreciation for the beauty of the moment himself. It takes a secure person and a good commentator to realize there are times where you need to just close your lips and let the beauty of the game fill the silence.
He’s actually been criticized for the opposite, too. Curt Schilling thought he talked too much during Judge’s 61st, and that he should’ve just let the moment play out.
@@A.B.421 schilling is a moron. Goood splitter but a moron nonetheless. Yankee fan, not really a Kay fan, but he makes his big showy call during the big moments and then shuts up to let it play out.
Hold on a sec, this just makes me feel like I'm there at the game. I wonder if they purposefully have incessant commentary so that people will still buy tickets haha
The low pitched sound heard throughout is the combination of every single person who's talking during the game. It creates this weird white noise that doesn't go away during this since you have about 30,000-50,000 people all talking at once so it blends together into that sound.
The future of baseball. Would be awesome to turn the announcers off sometimes and just listen to the game as if you were there. Also would be cool to view any camera at any time. I can’t wait for the future of MLB coverage.
Wish they did more games like this, this game only has a few commentators that I can stand. Most either talk about the “glory days”, how much the game has changed in the past few years, or walk you through the game like you’ve never played it before.
@@stipuledorange4 Reminding someone of the correct verbiage doesn't mean I didn't enjoy the video. Its also helpful to teach new fans the correct names of things. This isn't a full inning. Am I making reports to UA-cam to try to get the video taken down over it? No of course not. Simply calling out an incorrect title for those that might see it and now call something a full inning that is wrong. It's not the end of the world but thats why I didn't act like it was. I made one simple comment to correct it. Didn't blow it out of proportion. Hey if you read it and learn something then great if not then oh well. I tried. The devil is in the details in life. Its good to learn to pay attention to them.
I don't know if it still works like this, but it used to be that they sent the commentary over the center audio channel, so you can get the same effect by unplugging your center channel.
they should always have a broadcasting option like this, no corny commentators, no need to lower crowd volume (max volume so i can have an ear orgasm), louder in game sounds (crack of the bat, ball hitting catchers mitt, hot mics). Do this for all major sports and this would be the peak for watching live games.
they will never do it. they have an entire class of broadcasters and broadcast crew, so they can't do this bc those professions have their grift to keep doing. yes, for literally every sport this would be the ideal. there is no need for broadcasters.
@@georgial6398 Some people still listen to games on the radio. Broadcasters still have a job. An option to filter out broadcaster feed and not wouldn't be hard or cost them money.
One thing I’ve hated about fox is that they snuff out the crowd noise in postseason games. Completely kills the moment just so we can hear the shit call from the announcer. I think the last two years they’ve stopped doing it so much and they’ve also improved their picture quality as well, it was so grainy before
It's the crowd that makes this so soothing. Everyone talking in between pitches makes this natural white noise that breaks as soon as a pitch is thrown. I do think there should be a healthy balance with a commentator making important remarks, but I do not miss commentators just having conversations about something completely irrelevant to the game just to fill the silence.
i remember something like this happened on a cardinals broadcast around 2010. I think it was a technical whoopsie or a planning whoopsie, but I loved it.
Seriously, they need to do this for all sports! Sick and tired of listening to these opinionated annoying announcers. I do the exact same thing in my sports video games (turn off the commentary). Hopefully this’ the way of the future.
I remember the Do FIXER vs Blood Generation match at ROH Supercard of Honor 2006. The action became so manic that the commentators eventually gave up and made the second half commentary free. You can find it on UA-cam.
Ive been saying it for years, they need to have a package with this. I want the audio to be as if i was right down there in the game. The commentators never add any value to me personally
I actually love this. I wish there was an option to do this with every sport. Only problem is we know the NBA and MLB would get cooked by the fcc for all the f bombs from missed 3’s and trash talk at the rim and critical K’s from both pitchers and batters
I’d let out the absolute hardest laugh of my life if I tuned into this inning live. “Oh what the hell no commentators.” “And that was field levels….”😂😂😂😂

There is an option to watch games like that.
Its called the mute button

You could never get away with this on the radio, I'll tell ya' that.
Ands that’s why I generally prefer the sound of radio and the visuals of tv. If only I could make them synced up.

Dear God this is like a moment of Zen. I need an option to turn off commentators now. Beautiful, I'm just focused on the action
why can't they make this an option
This is the sports equivalent of watching a waterfall flow peacefully into a stream
Baseball asmr. Saving this for when I need white noise
It isn't white noise, but FYI there's a podcast of fake baseball games for sleeping called "Northwoods Baseball Sleep Radio"
Hold on a sec, this just makes me feel like I'm there at the game. I wonder if they purposefully have incessant commentary so that people will still buy tickets haha
Beautiful, relaxing. No commentators making it harder to hear the natural sounds of Astros players banging on trash cans.

This is like 5x louder than at an actual game though, They must have the audio turned way up so you can hear the other sounds clearly.
Imagine watching mlb games with just the players being Mic'd up instead of having broadcasters
I would vote for that
Every sport needs this option
Greatest inning of my life
Fun to practice some play-by-play
baseball is actually better this way
The future of baseball. Would be awesome to turn the announcers off sometimes and just listen to the game as if you were there.

Literal silence is better than that female commentator.
Can this be the new Norm?

...if they get rid of that stupid strike zone box, it would almost be like baseball again...
Best Apple Commentary

That was peaceful
This appears to be only a half inning. not an entire inning.

gotta love that stright brown noise
This is fun I commentated over it just for fun and had a blast
-(from hopefully a future mlb announcer)
This is so much better than having to put in mute. I love it.
I like this. Feels like you're actually at the game
this is so relaxing man
That sounds like a dream, I love it
This is a clear improvement over Apple's commentators.
i remember something like this happened on a cardinals broadcast around 2010. I think it was a technical whoopsie or a planning whoopsie, but I loved it.
The field levels graphic is sick
I remember this, it was great. If it's not my local announcers, I really don't want to hear them.
Baseball ASMR. I love it
Awesome -- sounds like you're sitting in the stands at the game. They should do this more
Wish they'd do this for football too
This is nice I like the peaceful atmosphere
Dude this is amazing
Kinda cool. Would be nice every now and then. I really like baseball commentary though. I wouldn't wanna go too long without hearing BAs voice
I feel like a ghost hovering over the field just spectating
Im not into asmr but this I like
This is so much better peace and quiet let the game itself be the entertainment

This is almost better than being in the ballpark in some ways. I would pay so much money to have this as an option for every game.
I’d pay an ungodly amount of money to have this
Every app should give you the option to mute the commentators and boost the field volume
This is the best version of Hannah Keyser
This is beautiful.
I HAVE ALWAYS WISHED THIS WAS AN OPTION, FOR ANY SPORT. WHO NEEDS EM!!!!
Go White Sox!
The Astros would go on to score 10 runs in the next inning.
Not gonna lie..I like this.
This is great. I love it.
You know, this would be really nice for just chilling in the living room with it on in the background.
I wish all baseball was like this tbh. I just like kicking back and listening to the crowd and players. batting.
They need to make the commentator a button you can hit on and off and it just overlays over the regular broadcast.
There should be an entire channel dedicated to this. Most commentators are so bad. I would pay for this. Game centric broadcast.
With the people Apple uses, this is one hell of an upgrade
4:18 nasty. Good discipline on Josh

Normally, I would say this is dumb if my team's commentators did this, but because it was Apple TV, I'm very glad.
In Italy we have the option to mute the commentators, it's not really used though
It’s peaceful.
Ive been saying it for years, they need to have a package with this. I want the audio to be as if i was right down there in the game. The commentators never add any value to me personally
NFL needs to take notes
For those of you asking why this isn't an option....its because of ads.
Still better than the apple commentators

only thing better is Vin Scully commentating
One time the commentary glitched out when i was watching a hockey game, it was awesome
This is amazing
Personally i like commentation, even at some basketball games ill run my headphones with the commentators just to hear the extra color
this is glorious, the chick announcer sounds like a bad video game announcer
And the Houston Astros, a few years ago we would have been able to hear the banging of the garbage cans more clearly.
Oh no! It was like watching a game without 3 stupid friends talking over the action.
This is way better
This is really cool.
Much better. Love it
Is it just me or is the camerawork and production on this way better than normal?
This needs to be labeled as ASMR
Rare apple W
Cool idea, but I do like to do something else while baseball is in the background and no play by play makes that difficult.
Likewise. I love this as an option, but I also want to hear a play-by-play if I'm away from the TV.
I guess that's why radio exists.
You'll hear the crowd go nuts if something big happens
This should always be a togglable option
I think I would watch more baseball tbh
This is beautiful
would like to see all sports commentated like golf. would be a nice relaxing switch up.
5:14 is satisfying 😊
I’d let out the absolute hardest laugh of my life if I tuned into this inning live. “Oh what the hell no commentators.” “And that was field levels….”😂😂😂😂
