Mute biased Bob Costas. Sync with the MLB audio app instead. [View all]

You need the $20 MLB audio subscription and a way to delay the telecast by 15-20 seconds (streaming and/or DVR required) but it works.

MLB audio is one way I follow the Guardians from out-of-market during regular season. I get to listen to Tom Hamilton and Jim Rosenhaus who offer way better game insight and a deliver a much more exciting experience than when the game is telecast nationally, especially during the playoffs with announcers like biased Bob or dreary Joe Buck.

Yankee fans can listen to their local announcers too (though if you're listening to Costas, you already are).

Same goes for fans of the Phillies, Dodgers, Padres, and Astros. IMO national baseball telecasts are dumbed-down to appeal to a larger audience. Listen to the local radio guys. It's way better.
