baseball seems like a uniquely bad national product Archived Message

there's about 500 hours of live content in every market in the nation already... you can kinda understand why ESPN just broadcast every single Red Sox/Yankees game they could because otherwise you'd be saddled trying to sell the 98 game of the year for Cincinnati vs. Pittsburgh.
You can't really have a studio show, you can't hype the thing... it's just... here's a baseball game. If you like baseball that's cool but i don't know how you make that appointment TV. The saturday afternoon network game at least has people who turn the TV on in their garage
