I don't keep up with MLB much anymore. The season is too long for me.
I'll never understand this argument. The season, from start to finish, is the same length as every other professional sport.
And if it's a too many games issue, to me, that would make baseball easier to follow. You can turn on your tv any night from April to September, except for four days at the All Star break, and catch a game.
I can understand if you live outside the viewing area for your favorite team, but that's the same way for every sport.

I mean 162 games is just too much.
For the record, I think the NBA season is too long as well.

I was talking to a coworker this morning about the MLB and we were discussing how terrible the TV situation is specifically sparked by the Dodgers-Giants game yesterday. Baseball had arguably the biggest game of the regular season on with the best pitcher in the game on the road in a huge division rivalry and close race with only 14 games to go.
Who could watch it on TV? Only people in the Bay Area. Not even in LA could you see it, and it wasn't on national TV. That is part of what's wrong with the sport. There's no way a game like yesterday's shouldn't be on as many screens as possible.

I just don't understand why people who don't care for baseball feel the need to talk about it so much. Just pretend it doesn't exist and move on.

In those towns like Boston baseball is huge.
When you get to other places where college football dominates they have no chance.
They really need to look at having World Series in July or August because that is about when interest starts to wane. No reason for the World Series to play in winter weather at all.
I don't know how you adjust the schedules or reducing games but baseball is summer and if you look at minor league attendance in some towns, it's huge.
