Yea i read that they are losing fans cause baseball fans are older people and they are dying. Now they make it hard to catch a casual game. How you gonna make fans like that? Its all messed up. I catch raven’s games on the antenna. Why not Orioles?

I think this is more of a MASN is dogshit thing than a general baseball thing, but I could be wrong.

It’s a sports thing in general. Each league is on a different streaming service, and then you have to pay astronomical cable bills as well.

The difference between now and thirty years ago is that every game is televised. That wasn’t true back in the day. You’d get most of them on HTS, but there’d always be a dozen or so that weren’t.

Honestly the majority of millennials I’ve known in most cities are casual baseball fans at best, who enjoy an afternoon beer in the upper reserves. Almost all of the millennials I know that are actual baseball fans, do it because of their family traditions, but I do see them carrying it on in the current generation, but I still worry about access to the games on a regular basis it’s hard to be engaged.
