"How many in the picture can you name without googling."

I can proudly say zero. Baseball sucks...

I got about 15. Not sure who the Braves guy is or a few of the Mets and Cubs.

The 70's were in my wheelhouse as well. Even though there was not much in national broadcasting except on Saturdays, Strat-o-matic Baseball and card collecting kept us up to speed

I guess with the new rule the clock starts over if you throw to a bag where there is a runner, but a fake move doesn't start the clock over?

New rules are horrible. Throw it all out and to hell with the ADD kids today who can’t sit through a baseball game.

In the long term, when we are probably dead, this could be a good thing for small market teams to get MLB tv revenue more equitable.

I had the MLB package last year for the 1st time. It was fine except when they played Atlanta. 300 miles away from me. Those were blacked out. Gotta buy the sports package on Hargray cable, which I cut yesterday. MLBtv is the only way to go I would guess. The fact they siphon off to other streaming services (apple) isn't cool either. I hate Amazon & the NFL too. They need an NFL type TV system but they won't get that with so many games. Fuck the Yankees & large market fucks that are killing the game. Throw it all together like a prison break. Split the pot. Salary cap. Fuck off.

I don't see any reason to change any kind of competitive balance issues in MLB currently...just keep it as is...
Sure, I could have stayed in the past. I could have even been king. But in my own way, I am king.

The competitive balance draft picks need to go…otherwise, I agree…

Football is life. Baseball is background noise on a Tuesday night.

I get MLB.tv and limit it to Red Sox games for the cheaper rate. I’m blacked out for Orioles and Nats games. So, I just use a VPN for those games and set it for something like Denver then watch.

I couldn't do just Reds. That would be brutal. I need other teams to watch to see real baseball.

Just go buy a couple different colors of paint, paint a section of some wall in your house and then watch it dry. You'll have just as much fun doing that as watching a baseball game...
