-Great product with an incredible amount of young talent
-Several teams in contention, lots of divisional intrigue
-A return to grass infields, all breathtakingly manicured
-MLB.tv and MLB At Bat apps are awesome user experiences
-Statcast technology, need I say more?

This was the most enjoyable Opening Day that I can remember.

The ticketless system is great too. First time I had used it was last night. Easy to buy and share tickets with friends

MLB is awesome, but Rob Manfred makes me nervous

It truly was.

And I know nobody cares about what Cowherd has to say...but he's banged on MLB for a few years now. He pretty much thinks baseball is about to become MASSIVE moving forward.

Either way, it's in a really good place.

On top of that storylines like the Giants, Royals, and Cubs winning it all after massive droughts (yes the giants had a big ole drought before this "dynasty" began) really help bring more casual fans into the game. As we've seen with College Football people really start to despise a sport when one team dominates too much.

What will make Baseball Great again is the CTE crisis in football

The one thing they could be doing better is promoting the individual talent better. Mike trout is the baseball equivalent of Lebron and is in the LA market yet I'd bet 60-70% of Americans couldn't pick him out of a lineup. Compare that to lebron.

There's a massive amount of young talent with trout correa Bryant Harper seager betts etc. yet the only thing I can think of nationally is that trout had a subway commercial.

If they could promote some of those guys a bit better they will have a boom here in the next decade

just wanted to chime in and say, if anyone is on the fence about MLB.tv or paying for a premium service to watch, you should get it.

the NHL version has increased my interest in the NHL by a lot. I believe MLB and NHL are on the same platform/provider. Very nice product

really is a game changer and I highly recommend . bit expensive but the more you watch, the more cost efficient it gets.

Signups for MLB.TV Premium are underway for $112.99 yearly or $24.99 monthly, with nearly two dozen features for subscribers to access and interact with live out-of-market Major League Baseball games at a revolutionary 60 frames per second on any of the more than 400 supported devices. We're here for a new season, and we're here to see more BAMTech-developed tech innovations and breakthrough premium features -- a tradition dating back to the first live stream on Aug. 26, 2002.




The new array of 2017 features includes a "team view," in which fans can designate a favorite team and enjoy a custom team-centric experience on supported platforms. Redesigned apps will launch on connected platforms Android TV, FireTV, Xbox and Roku. "Alexa, open MLB" will be a familiar verbal command, as MLB.TV Premium subscribers can listen to live games without blackout restrictions using the new MLB skill on the Amazon Echo platform.

MLB has become the best run professional sports league out there. It may not have the audience it once had but it hasn't stopped them from delivering a good product.
