Whatever the MLB game is doing it has me turning away. Outside opening day I haven’t watched more than a few innings a week. When I do have it on it’s background noise while I’m reading where I occasionally look up. I know a lot of guys who grew up playing the game through college who feel the same way.
Going to a MLB game live is a different story. But in the past three years I’ve gone less frequently. A few weeks ago I was already in the city and offered a free ticket. I preferred to get home.
The Sox have two starters hitting under .200. The stop gap they signed to fix part of the problem is hitting .104 the last time I looked. What MLBer hits .104? And they’re one of the top teams in baseball. That tells me all I need to know about how entertaining the game is.
Since the NCAA conference championship games through today I haven’t even thought to watch a MLB game. This includes the recent Sox-Yankees series.
