What is baseball even doing on TV still? It is a dying sport


I am sitting here and looking at these games, and all I can think is that most of these guys have to get tired of playing 150 freaking games every year. Like, how often do these guys give 110% on a play? Especially if they know they're already making the playoffs.


I think I'd much prefer going to a minor league game where the players want to show out because they always have something to be playing for, the tickets are dirt cheap, and the beers are hopefully cheaper too.

Xfinity just sent me a notification to tune to ESPN 3 for BLIMPCAST. WTF is this?

Baseball commentators should get paid $$$$ they have to come up with 4 hours of stuff to talk about in the most boring sport

That’s the problem though....most think they have to fill dead air and ramble on senselessly. The great ones know when to shut up & let the moment speak for itself.

They are compensated nicely for their time. Speaking of the announcers, imagine having to pretend to be excited about the Detroit Tigers 162 times a year.

They typically have multiple camera angles for big games. Try seeing if there is another option.

It’d be nice if they came out and delivered a knock out punch early. But the Notre Dame fan expects a frustratingly close game for ~3 quarters

I wish he’d stop pretending he knows what he’s talking about with ND. I don’t mind him, but he talks out of his a$$ a lot



Its just lazy. He clearly took the time to see the combined yardage Dex and TJJ had last year, how could he not see TJJ is still there too?

Id like to be in bed by second half, but yes, midnight it is!!!!

*why this wasnt a 7pm kick is beyond me. Nobody is working today, could have been 3 even.

They keep bringing up the playoff, but honestly I don't think the final score really matched that game. We recovered that fumble, didn't go our way. Our two best defensive players went out when it was a really evenly matched, close game and then they put up two scores and that was it. If that fumble is called correctly and our two best players don't get hurt, it's probably a 10 point game and not 27 and these guys could perhaps be creative and come up with something interesting to discuss about Notre Dame except for that tired line.

What kind of piece of shit stadium is this? They have 1 of every 3 gates open. Been in the line to get in for 40 minutes.
