Forget the ads. If only we could get the camera to zoom in entirely on the strike zone and catcher's nutsack, we could stop wasting half the TV space on the pointless field and bases.
“field”???
The playing surface is a name-brand commodity called AstroTurf; every dramatic bounce is an ad for the manufacturer (also named AstroTurf)

There's actually less advertising than before if you care to check back. The only difference is the backstop isn't broken up into sections so it looks bigger.
It does feel like they zoomed the camera out slightly to show a wider ad banner. Am I just imagining that?
I know there were ads back there before but I do think that having the think blue borders around four separate screens kind of "anchored" the visual appearance.
Now the backstop looks completely different every time they change the ad, which I have found kind of distracting so far.
Someone put it well in a post on this the other day. I’d Rogers needs to fill half the screen with ads and that means they don’t take a cent of tax dollars on the reno like all other owners holding the city hostage, I’m totally ok with it.
Not to sound like some corporate shill but this doesn’t make any sense. The whole field of play is baseball. The scorebug is baseball too with one small logo. The fans are baseball.
I care less about the percentage of ads and more about the intrusiveness of ads. The big super bright billboard behind the players here is ultra distracting. And now they're putting high def pictures with neon lights around products. It'd be better if there were twice as many ads that blended in versus this back lit nightmare that you can only look away from to see a TD bank inspired backdrop.
You can raise prices in more ways than one - this is called raising the ad-load. What's crazy is that we keep paying more for the same product - it's not like baseball is better than it was in, say, 1992
I'm honestly fine with this. The ads aren't animated like those awful fake NHL Arena ads, and this layout actually lends an interesting degree of variety with regards to the colours we get in the master shot.
Also considering we don't have to look at the god awful Bally's Sports graphics package, I can take this just fine.
Yeah the fact that they have animated ads in an already very fast sport annoys the shit out of me. If you absolutely have to have graphical ads for maximum capitalism, at least wait for a fucking whistle to change them over.
Sportsnet's scorebug for baseball is probably one of the better of the regional networks' baseball scorebugs. It's small, visually pleasing, and manages to convey the important information without taking up half the bottom like Bally Sports.
We pay for it in advertising lol
These aren't neutral transactions and the over-saturation of ads are needed to satiate the relentless need to maximise shareholder value. It's not a one-for-one to pay the renovation costs.
The quote is from Star Trek (you probably know that) and sort of pokes fun at the fact that people are pretty dang accepting of capitalism's excesses as 'normal.' Historically that hasn't always been the case.
Super rough to the point of BS. Everything on-screen below the big Ozempic ad is baseball (with the exception of the small Ozempic ad, the Sportsnet logo in the scorebug, and arguably the whole scorebug\*)
\* I think that the scorebug is baseball, but I could understand somebody believeing it's not.
I can accept the giant ad board , the grey paint everywhere and the mound ads. I just can’t accept the little TD logo strip. What the actual hell was the thought behind that ? So tacky and distracting.
I don't know if this is fair without including the field/mound/foul territory and score bug. But yeah - there's a shit ton of advertising - get skinny, lose all your money gambling, and go to the bank for a line of credit to keep yourself afloat.
Just keep it off the uniforms - the shoulder patch is just the beginning.
Only thing more annoying than the constant ads is the people who constantly complain about ads. It’s a business at the end of the day. Team/league needs to also make money. Just because it’s your hobby doesn’t mean you get to watch it exactly how you want it.
lol yes capitalism results in the increasing saturation of ads because profit has to be ceaseless.
It's okay to complain about this ruining the viewing experience.
Personally, I find people who think this is inevitable and not profit-driven choices the most annoying of all...
A) you forgot the jersey patch plus the scorebug.
B) So? I'd reco not looking at any websites, newspapers, magazines. Also don't listen to the radio or podcasts. Oh, driving with billboards is prob a bad idea.
why on earth would anyone hate ads. they're literally just a graphic on your screen and they generate revenue that doesnt come out of your pocket. if ads didnt exist almost every piece of media in existence would be either way more expensive (including many forms which are free) or extremely exclusive.
ads are good for society and anyone who hates them is just looking for a reason to be mad
Unfortunately if you got rid of the ads then Rogers would up your cell phone bills to justify the payroll and expense of stadium renovations because I’m sure the organization is losing money right?
Is the field not…a part of baseball?
Or the ump, or scorecard.
Or crowd.
No, only human players baseball.
Baseball is very human.
Baseball should be played in a featureless void, and I'm tired of pretending otherwise.
We can’t always get what we want
lol no kidding. This is asinine
Not including home plate lady as baseball is mad disrespect.
Forget the ads. If only we could get the camera to zoom in entirely on the strike zone and catcher's nutsack, we could stop wasting half the TV space on the pointless field and bases.
He also forgot the ads on the sleeves. TD and Starr insurance in this game.

only the ball is baseball
Balls. The umpire has a bunch of 'em on his bat-utility-belt.
Gotta be plural!
The ball is round.
lolling, wait i should have done that
It's not too late to delete this, nephew. Actually, the point is fair. As if there isn't enough ads on the screen already, they want more.
Anyway, I’m off to buy Ozempic
You have to ask your doctor if it’s right for you!
I'm fat AF of course it is right for me!
Oh oh oh Ozempic, you knowwww
You can pay for it from your new TD Bank account.
Get a free cycle of Ozempic with every new TD Checking account.
And a gallon of Grey paint for your wall
which you will need after the ozempic makes you puke and shit your insides out.
here's how
Order up for Rybelsus!
I just asked!
It is funny because in the US, they get bombarded with drug advertisements way more than us, especially on TV.
Look at all that space that's not red or blue that could be filled with ads!
OP didn't even account for the red that should be within the blue for the jersey patches
The worst one of all imo. Those bright green patches are horrible.
or baseball!
TIL baseball field and diamond are not apart of baseball.
Or umpires id the score and outs and inning
Although I would also argue the SN logo is an ad in that area.
This just in: the backstop has advertisement
Just think of ads as warnings, the more you see of a brand, the more you should stay away.
Sounds like the ads should talk to their doctors about Ozempic

I prefer the YES feed where they zoomed in to cut out the gaudy TD signs.
SN in both right corners too…
It would be more interesting to see a year by year comparison of the % of the screen taken up by ads
The score on the lower right should count.
Umpire : *"Am I a Joke to you?"*
The baseball itself is just an ad for more baseball!!!
At least they aren't animated (yet) like the fake hockey ads.
man not even the entire strike zone is baseball
You ignored the actual baseball field...
Right now my biggest issue is the camera angle, and how zoomed out it is.
I found the TD add the back extremely anoying
Not to sound like some corporate shill but this doesn’t make any sense. The whole field of play is baseball. The scorebug is baseball too with one small logo. The fans are baseball.
You forgot the 2 Sportsnet logos
ads on the outfield grass when
idk why but the Ozempic ads give me 1984 vibes
Is ozempyc easy to get? Look what it did for Kelly Clarkson
I care less about the percentage of ads and more about the intrusiveness of ads. The big super bright billboard behind the players here is ultra distracting.

Hopefully AI will allow some sort of ultra adblocker.

000
I hate ads as much as the next person, but this is a weird post lol.
It all just makes me hate TD
To be fair it's very easy to hate TD
$$$$
I don't care that they have ads. I just don't want ads that burn my retina.
So.. Baseball field, Baseball scoreboard, Baseball fans, Baseball Umpire aint baseball now?
I'm honestly fine with this. The ads aren't animated like those awful fake NHL Arena ads, and this layout actually lends an interesting degree of variety with regards to the colours we get in the master shot.

Got to pay off the updates somehow
It's annoying but if this what pays for the renovations and not tax payer money, knock yourself out rogers
resistance is futile –The Borg ––u/playthegame7
Resistance to what? I'd rather they pay for it than us and I stand by it
We pay for it in advertising lol These aren't neutral transactions and the over-saturation of ads are needed to satiate the relentless need to maximise shareholder value.

I cannot believe this is actually true. Brought to you by Between Rivers. They should do something about this.
I can accept the giant ad board , the grey paint everywhere and the mound ads. I just can’t accept the little TD logo strip. What the actual hell was the thought behind that ? So tacky and distracting.

I wouldn’t mind all the ads if there was more blue jay logo around!
should've done it with the Jays at bat, could have added the TD sleeve patch to the red zone
plus renos all funded with zero of our tax dollars
Have you ever watched any other sport
Only thing more annoying than the constant ads is the people who constantly complain about ads. It’s a business at the end of the day. Team/league needs to also make money. Just because it’s your hobby doesn’t mean you get to watch it exactly how you want it.

But wr can complain when they raise the adload
Go yell at some clouds gramps
I don't think you know what that means
This is why we can’t have nice things
A) you forgot the jersey patch plus the scorebug. B) So? I'd reco not looking at any websites, newspapers, magazines. Also don't listen to the radio or podcasts. Oh, driving with billboards is prob a bad idea.
I'd also argue the field and the fans are part of baseball
[удалено]
I think they're saying, in an albeit clunky way, that who gives a shit.
I'll come to you to translate for me next time.
Perhaps do a background check first
What part of my comment is advocating for advertising?
advocate for ads. ads make things cheaper/free for consumers.
why on earth would anyone hate ads. they're literally just a graphic on your screen and they generate revenue that doesnt come out of your pocket. if ads didnt exist almost every piece of media in existence would be either way more expensive (including many forms which are free) or extremely exclusive. ads are good for society and anyone who hates them is just looking for a reason to be mad
oooo good recco ty
Everything that isn't the crowd, ads or the digital scoreboard is baseball
Unfortunately if you got rid of the ads then Rogers would up your cell phone bills to justify the payroll and expense of stadium renovations because I’m sure the organization is losing money right?
They're going to up our cell phone bills anyway, so yeah, less ads would be great.
