This thread comes up pretty frequently. IMO like everything else since the Civil War change is coming at an accelerating pace.
The advent of the phone as computer 10 years ago laid the ground work for all cords to be cut. That is going to destroy almost all models going forward that do not include viewing on demand. My kids laugh at me because I watch stuff on TV when it is scheduled. Everything is about ease of watching on my terms when I want to watch.
It is very possible that the very thing baseball purists love about the game - there is no clock, might be the very thing that dooms it as a big time sports enterprise. Time itself has been recognized as the worlds most valuable commodity. As such anything that wastes it or makes no impact is discarded or ignored. If you are being honest about it, that is just about every baseball game from April through August.
IMO Baseball needs to totally reinvent itself and ideas on what they should do have had dozens of threads here.
