Baseball is dying

I haven’t watched an NBA game in over 5 years, probably 10.

Care more about baseball now more than ever. To me it is nearly passing football.

MLB has terrible leadership. They need to steal Adam Silver

The Rays have been one of the most stable and consistently good franchises for a decade and a half.

I could watch all the games I wanted in 1988 on WGN with a little black box and a little black brick remote. Why would I want to have to do all that other shite in 2022 just to watch some games? Backwards move.

Ever sine the Indians stopped playing I have not watched or listened to a single thing related to the MLB.

And I used to at least have the radio going for most games. Watched many.

Without a team, they can frick off.

And the teams they were playing, which were the divisions I liked to follow. Braves were on TBS too, obviously. I don't care about NY or Boston, but they were on ESPN frequently enough.

THREE 1-0 games tonight and there were only 6 games! That’s why this sport is boring.

Big baseball fan here. It isn't dead, but MLB has major issues with how the average fan consumes the product. They have got to get the blackout issue squared away if they want to maintain their level of support. They also need to get more control around ownership and how shared revenues are used. The Ray's and A's are basically AAAA teams. Rays ownership is straight up trying to hold tax payers hostage and that will only hurt the game.



Red Sox saw how they Ray's operate and decide that's how they are going to do it.

You’re a moron for even asking for this comparison.

The Indians didn’t stop playing. They changed their name to the Guardians. Same stadium. Same players. Same everything. But I wouldn’t expect a snowflake like yourself to be able to handle a situation like that.

NFL, sure, but by what metric is it firmly rooted behind the NBA?
No MLB game was in the top 50 most watched sporting events in 2021 except the All Star game (#36).
