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.

probably would've watched it if i had known about it and if it were accessible ... but i'm not necessarily the type of fan/viewer mlb wants ... there's something to be said for a keen/loyal following ...
