Anyone think Vasgersian sounds like Alan Alda?!

Love me some Dan Plesac. Harold Reynolds is very knowledgeable as well though he may say some questionable things. Either way, they sound like a real-life broadcast team. You don't hear a lot of games being broadcasted by Matty V, Lyons and Karros. The real-life factor is a big improvement here.

And the MLB Network package is clean, smooth and looks so authentic.

Very Excited to hear what these guys have to say. As the video mentioned, they stick to their positions. Reynolds was an infielder and Plesac was a pitcher so they can both offer insight on both sides of the ball. Karros and Lyons were both position players. Plesac's pitching knowledge can really shine here.

MLB Network Presentation looks super sexy!!!!

And we even get the MLB Network theme music to boot just amazing!

I am more then pleased with Harold Reynolds and Dan Plesac as the new replacement commentators. They both know a lot about baseball and both have very unique recognizable voices. But the big question remains has has Matt Vasgersian redone most of his lines and recorded them with Harold Reynolds and Dan Plesac at the same time in the same room? If so then we may be in for a real treat!!!

As this will be the first year of MLB Network integration I hope in the future we will get Pre and post game studio updates and game recaps and also a sideline reporter. And last but not least would love to see either Lauren Shehadi or Heidi Watney added to the game!

This looks very promising but my excitement is tempered because of fear of the same style commentary returning once again!

We shell see how it all turns out soon!

Why is this the only sports game with multiple broadcast packages?

While I'm excited by the MLB Network integration and understand why it would be the focal point, I hope plenty of work was still done for the other themes as well to make them worth using (unless they are simply being held over this year with a gradual transition in mind for future iterations, which would also be understandable).

Really looking forward to the live stream this week to see some of the depth behind the shiny new additions...should be a good one.

NBA 2K has different guest commentators so you don't have the same team every game. Thing I love about The Show is that they give you the option to change it up so you can have variety.

Seems like whoever did the initial stream schedule graphic "miscounted" the number of stars...err..letters, subtracting one each from Reynolds and Plesac's last names. lol. These devs are tricky...

Amazing work Russell and the team, bravo. Commentary was something lots of people requested changes on and it looks like these guys delivered big time.

Really excited to see the multiple themes.

I have a feeling commentary will be better in general. I think Kirby getting a full cycle to work on commentary will be a huge upgrade in that department. He only had like 2 months or so last year to work on it due to the previous programmer leaving. I liked what they did last year and know they will continue to build on it.

I'm torn on the new announcers. Love Plesac but can't stand Reynolds. Anyone who says Canadian's can't catch foul balls on TV really shouldn't be an announcer. Not to mention his voice is quite annoying. Too bad Dan Shulman works for ESPN and not MLB because he would have been an amazing addition.

Audio is muted by default. Take a couple deep breaths, then click the speaker icon on the bottom right. 🔊😁
