Work with a casual fan who asks me how the Rangers are doing. I tell him, then suggest he tune in. He says he starts watching during the playoffs.
This from a guy who watches every Mets game. I don't get it.

yep, this is why I don't agree with the trying to attract new fans argument

I think making the casual fans care about the regular season is the most important thing

Yep and GF. I’m surrounded

Nothing. It's closer to a niche sport than a national sport. 3 lockouts in 25 years kinda kills your product. Blame the owners.

Lockout was why I stopped watching baseball in the 80's. That, and puberty, and a dirt bike, so I found other interests.

Just saw a thing that had the worst trades ever for teams..and I think Selanne going to the ducks from the jets may be the worst trade ever

Second is Buch for Blais

well baseball had a long strike in '81 and then not another work stoppage until 1994

Fubotv. I hate it though.

Well, that's a ringing endorsement if I've ever heard one.
Heard of it, have to look it up.

Baseball is just boring. Start watching at the 7th inning

Ziggy palffy to LA was theirs. I think chara to ottawa was worse imo

It carries almost all Rangers games Only good thing I can say

I don't know man, advertisers find men who will eat and drink everything they can get their hands on a good group to target

You're not wrong. Take Bud Light for instance.

Maybe I’ll buy the 1000 pack of battery’s that 3 generations couldn’t use them all

Can we be friends?

And then baseball strengthened their players union, signed a lucrative TV deal, turned the blind eye towards steroids, and stadiums got smaller. All while it's flagship product won 4 out 5 championships. So that's not a comparable.

oh I didn't say it was, I was responding to someone saying they lost interest in baseball in the 80's because of a lockout, when there were none in the 80's

And then you found us!

Now my life is complete.

They have way more analytics in baseball. FIP, ERA+, DRS, ORC, WAR, dWAR, oWAR, OPS, Launch angle, etc. Hockey is very simple.

people just don't understand TV and advertising and target demographics


healthy active vegans are the last group in the world anyone wants to market to
