With a YouTube broadcast only game, there is good news and bad news. Of course, the good news is that any fan can see the game. For example, the Dodgers will play at 9:30 in the morning on July 18th. However, the bad news is that the game won’t be broadcast anywhere else.
In fact, it will be like an ESPN Sunday Night Baseball game. Indeed, if you want to see this game; you will need to find a way to watch it on YouTube.
This news came to us on Twitter from Eric Stephen.
Dodgers-Phillies on Thursday, July 18, a 9:30am PT start, will be exclusively on YouTube, the first of 13 MLB games on YouTube this season

Two other games have been announced exclusively on YouTube. The Cleveland Indians-Toronto Blue Jays game on Tuesday, July 23, and the Detroit Tigers-Los Angeles Angeles of Anaheim game six days later on July 29th.
There will be weekly YouTube games for MLB after the All-Star break. After Dodgers-Phillies, 2 such games have been announced:
Tue, July 23: Indians-Blue Jays
Mon, July 29: Tigers-Angels— Eric Stephen (@ericstephen) June 19, 2019
What do you think of baseball being broadcast on YouTube? Personally, I am alright with it and I like to see the sport expanding to these different ways to attract fans to watch it; similar to the NFL.
Let us know in the comments section below if the game being on YouTube makes you less likely or more likely to watch it – or if you feel this is a good idea for baseball to broadcast games in general.
