We're all champing at the bit for some Rangers baseball.

0:03.3

Hopefully it's a great season.

0:05.0

But it actually began last night, did the Major League season,

0:08.0

in San Francisco at Oracle Park with the Giants getting shut out by the Yankee 7 to nothing.

0:13.5

But this game was on Netflix.

0:16.1

The immediate giant is dipping their toes into the MLB waters.

0:19.4

And they've had NFL games, they've had boxing

0:22.3

matches. And last night, I thought they tried really hard. And I've heard a lot of criticisms.

0:28.1

And I think they're very just because one, the whole pregame show was nothing but a Netflix

0:32.8

infomercial. That's that that was frustrating. the score bug was big yet the font was so small.

0:40.9

It was hard to see who was pitching and who was hitting. That was annoying. And there's

hero in San Francisco, a villain everywhere else. And for some reason, they had James Winston was a

1:26.2

prominent feature on the pregame, during the game, and even

1:28.7

postgame. And I don't know how you guys feel about having a football player who's still playing,

1:35.1

but I think James Winston is so good on television. And I think his personality so bubbly,

1:40.5

I think it worked somehow. I think he could do whatever he want and he's going to be entertaining. I could see him hosting the Today Show at some point, just because he's, he's got a good

1:50.0

personality, just his presence. Like he doesn't even have to say anything and he's just, you notice him.
