I sound like a retard because I’m bitching about the baseball fan experience in a thread about how it is hard just to be a fan of a pro baseball team?

You sound like a baseball fanboi who gets butthurt when people talk shite about baseball

There are a lot of things that can be done better with MLB. I follow stats but rarely watch games. Even when I go to my favorite sports bars in Houston area, the Astros are rarely on TV’s.

They better get it right next year.

I dislike the length of the season. Games on the margin are effectively meaningless. The owners are addicted to the revenue though and can’t shorten the season.

You sound like a retard who doesn’t know how to control kids, doesn’t know how much things cost, and was too big a pussy to complain about a message not being displayed

I’ve brought my son and a couple of his buddies to games and they had a blast.

So yeah, you’re a retard

Once again, no offense

Baseball is by far my favorite sport to watch. Was a football and basketball player myself never played baseball but absolutely love it.

In my sports we would take a guy off the street and teach him the game in a couple weeks. Baseball is so hard to play it’s nearly impossible

You’re right about the 3rd world, they all have fake birth certificates so they seem younger and everyone of them is on steroids before the move to the states. They are stealing opportunities from Americans

The sport is unrecognizable. Hard not to laugh when people call it MLB.

lol. I’ve taken my kids to sweet 16, elite 8, World Cup, major College football games over the last year. The World Cup tickets were in a suite, cost $5,000 each, and I had to travel to go to it and it wasn’t even a USA game. I sat courtside at the elite 8 right behind media row. I’ve sat 50 yard line at the rose bowl, orange bowl.

I have no problem paying for decent quality experiences, even getting ripped off for the right experience, but slinging ice cold burgers for 3x what they should cost and making it hard to buy virtually anything is the antithesis of a good fan experience.

I didn’t complain to them. What was I supposed to do, scream at the seat usher that they didn’t play the scoreboard message? Ask for them to play it the next game, when I won’t be there? And you’re calling me a retard, you queer duck.

Glad you had those other experiences man I’m super proud of you

Not many retards get to do things like that

You must be a real fricking bummer to not have fun with a group of kids at a baseball game

MLB is usually excellent at gameday experience. I think the Rangers just suck at it.

I travel for work and recently attended home games at: Royals, Nationals, Astros, Brewers, White Sox, and Braves. At the worst, I would say each was easy access and pleasant. At best, I would say MLB is the best pro sports experience in America for a fan. Sorry the Rangers ruined it for you. Hopefully it was just a one-off.

If a $50,000 investment into a kid’s travel ball career doesn’t pan out because some dude using a milk carton as a glove beats him out, that’s on him. And if they are on roids at a young age, so be it. Not sure how that helps them during year 3 of riding a bus around Florida.

But were the hotdogs warm? Bc that determines if the product on the field is entertaining according to you

I love to shite on Jerry and the Yankees as much as the next guy. But cmon. Cowboys been irrelevant since early 90’s. Yanks won a title 15 years ago and consistently challenging.

I guess its all relative. I enjoy mlb more than the other major sports and college sports. Maybe its just because I have a team I like to follow.

I find college baseball the most boring of the college sports.

Were you a fan of the game when it was even slower? It’s faster than it’s been in quite a while.

All I know is, I’m tired of non baseball people determining how baseball should be played today. “The game is too slow for the casual fan” well who cares about the casual fan who doesn’t know anything about baseball anyways.
