My mlb.tv feed is playing almost exclusively commercials for Disney properties, including Disney affiliates (ESPN/Hulu/National Geographic/etc.).

Disney is the mob and it is all annoying as hell, but the commercials for Disney Cruises is set to that really sweet, pretty, piano waltz piece from Up that is played during the montage of Carl and Ellie's marriage, and it is so beguiling that now I want to go on a Disney Cruise.

ON EDIT: My wife tells me that the piece is called "Married Life" and it was performed by her student Eliza, who is unsuprisingly my favorite of her students.

Yeah who is this guy?

He's a former MLB player (Diamondbacks I think?) who's also done some color commentary as a broadcaster

That's because, after the mutually agreed upon early scrapping of their previous contract which included Sunday Night Baseball, MLB and the four letter turned around to strike a new agreement to become streaming partners. Now customers who may be casual fans of baseball but not enough of one to subscribe to MLB.TV can stream games through any Disney package which includes ESPN+.  This gives MLB & ESPN incentive to cross-promote on the streaming end while still leaving ESPN free to (mostly)* ignore baseball on their main channel.

* ESPN will still run the occasional game over their regular cable channel including this Wednesday's (Jackie Robinson Day) NYM/LAD matchup

I've seen this commercial but have yet to hear it since I usually mute the TV sound between innings and when that ad is on there's certainly nothing on the screen that makes me want to hear what's being said. I can't say it looks like the MAGA-iest commercial ever but only because it's got a long way to go before even coming close to several for Dodge/RAM trucks.

Encouraging reckless sports gambling. Do you really need the money that badly Kevin Hart?

Do WE really need Kevin Hart? His screaming (his schtik) is getting tiresome.
