re: MLB fans, are you entertained thus far?

Overall I've enjoyed it. I don't remember the last time I've been able to watch as many consecutive games as I have.

Now when the Braves were in Tampa and when they were down 8-2 to the Mets the other night before coming back I was on the "F*** this just cancel the season" train.

I’ve seen others saying the quality of play is very poor and basically calling for the season to just end

I've enjoyed every minute, play quality probably not what it might have been but I think the difference is minimal. I'm just glad i can watch my Cubs.

What you are hearing from "others" and for me others are the minions covering the sport, mostly the ESPN guys - the Olney's and the like, is the continuation of the narrative that at this point they've been conditined to uphold and further.

They are "aghast" and "shocked" that there is even and attempt to play during a pandemic and lives are being put at risk, their hearts aren't really into it, they are being forced to play....blah, blah. And they talk the players or coaches who will echo this narrative, not the vast majority who want to play and are loving finally getting back to it.

None of these "others" will peel back the surface of this and break from their colleagues and ask new or different questions, or pose a counter to their worn narrative. It would expose the narrative they have been conditioned to parrot as full of holes and contradictions.

Love our Brewers

I'm good with it.

Not being able to go to games sucks obviously, as we usually try and go at least 2-3 times a month. But otherwise it's the same as usual. Every Braves game is on at our house. We're usually working or cooking or whatever while it's on but that's the norm.

Haven't watched a minute of baseball, so I couldn't tell you.

Dudes in here who probably obsess over college baseball are talking about the low quality of the shortened MLB season

LMAO

Probably the same people who bitch about spring training and nfl preseason being too long. We are seeing why those things are necessary.

I’m enjoying the hell out of baseball right now with the assumption that every game might be the last for this year

shitty teams. I’ve enjoyed the Braves so far.

Shitty and Braves referenced together, you were on the right path but veered ever so slightly there at the end, try again

It's better than nothing, but the amount of injuries, awful hitting, and lack of fans have been a bit of a buzzkill league-wide. As an Astros fan, it's about getting the younger pitchers some work, although they've surprised to the upside.

I can understand Braves fans overlooking it because it's a young team that's on the rise a little bit, and yet you aren't quite there yet, so there's not much to lose.

It’s been shite, players don’t have timing and pitchers making them look silly has lead to poor games

What have you and all the upvoters of this post been watching? Probably not MLB games. Or maybe just Rangers and Diamondbacks hitters, runs per game are way up.
