The Yankees kicked off their season with a convincing win, but that wasn’t what had fans talking. Evan and Tiki break down the overwhelming reaction to Netflix’s Opening Day broadcast, where production choices, missed moments, and constant distractions left viewers frustrated. Instead of celebrating a strong performance, the focus shifted to how the game was presented—and why it didn’t sit well with diehard fans. They dig into what actually happened on the field, including Max Fried’s dominant outing and the lineup’s aggressive approach, while debating whether fans were nitpicking or justified in their complaints. The conversation also touches on modern sports viewing habits, the balance between entertainment and gameplay, and how a clean win can still spark controversy when the broadcast gets in the way.
