Not going to be too hard to do. MLB has made it so hard to actually watch games that, to my extreme surprise, it is becoming something I miss less and less.
So many blackout rules are silly. Spring training games? Really.
Teams setting up exclusive team streaming and then only getting one or maybe two outlets to show the games? That is an interest killer to current fans and a deterrent to developing new young fans. My son and I are both losing interest without a good way to stay engaged. His kids? No interest at all. How could there be? It's not like they can "watch a game with Dad", there are none on to see that matter to him. It's a $140ish for MLB.tv with no live games for us (blacked out). If the team offered us their streaming network as standalone for $150, maybe $200 to watch all games live, we would both be in. It's not always the money, it's access and when one gets it. Without access interest dies.
I don't think I will ever drop it entirely. I keep trying to find viable ways to watch live games but it is not easy to do. There was a time this would drive me crazy but not anymore. OOTP and my dynasty is a great substitute that means my summer isn't left totally empty. A strike or lockout years ago was devastating. Now? Meh, I'll be ok. Couldn't actually watch many games anyway.
Even if I loved these uniforms they wouldn't be able to fix what is the real problem.
