Hey hey, let's not insult those good old Yankees/Sox 4 hours games of the late 90's/early 2000's.

but this was the legacy Mike Hargrove left behind to all the younguns that grew up emulating the Human Rain Delay. and now, everything Hargrove worked for, its gone. somewhere, he's spinning in his grave.

and Nomar, with all the batting glove adjusting he brought millions of fans enjoyment watching his in-between pitches antics, he has nothing to left to leave behind either, not even a BoSox 'ship.
oh the humanity!

Couldn't live without MLB network. Youtube tv would be gone for me after that. Heard Sun sports is scrapped too.

Yeah, due to gambling and fantasy.

Nobody's watching because they like trying to figure out the weekly saga of what's a catch, what's a fumble, what's two feet in, what's penalty, what's roughing the passer, what's holding, and so on and so forth.

I've watched several games this weekend and I have to say I really enjoy the faster pace. Seems the players and managers are liking it too, although there are some hiccups, questions, and adjusting.

It may be recency bias or the fact that it’s going to be the first totally normal season since 2019, but it seems like there is more excitement that normal for the start of the season

I watched the first three innings of Rangers-Guardians before I even realized that they were showing the clock in the corner of the screen.
