For YouTube’s exclusive Mets broadcast on Wednesday afternoon, the service tried to have Ron Darling do the game, but SNY said no, according to sources.

Instead, Al Leiter will join F.P. Santangelo and Scott Braun in the booth. Viewers will not be able to see the game between the Mets and Nationals on SNY, which had no interest in sharing one of its top analysts for a game it is being prevented from broadcasting.

While last season’s one-game Facebook broadcast wasn’t well received by all Met fans, Wednesday may be easier. There is no “sign-in” procedure.

If you just google, “Mets game,” the link to the broadcast should come up, according to Timothy Katz, head of Sports and News Partnerships for YouTube.

If you have the YouTube app on your smart TV, phone, tablet or computer, it will be featured there. You can also just go to the YouTube website.

When viewing the game, you can have a normal experience with any of the applications, but YouTube will present some alternatives.

“We’ve been trying to lean into things that we think are unique to YouTube that other platforms can’t do,” Katz said. “So, for example, there are a lot of YouTube creators that are just fans that create a lot of baseball-related content or YouTube stars that are fans of a certain team. We have been creating this live chat experience, where we have about 15 creators plus a representative from each of the clubs, plus a rep from the league in a live chat experience.”

If this is not your thing, viewers can opt-out of the chat by just pressing a button. According to Katz, the first time a team is on the YouTube service there is some pushback, but by the second time it is not a big deal.
