Maybe so but this is the dieing part. The market is shrinking and will never recover to what it was in the prime. Why not lead the way to the next frontier with a direct to consumer product? Even more frustrating considering that in fact the MLB TV prodcut already provides exactly this -- just the draconian stone age blackout rules getting in the way.


Could be worse.

In San Diego after their RSN went down ... MLB took over the existing channel so it was still offered by the same cable carriers and they also made an option for local residents to pay $60 to watch just the Padres on MLB.TV locally with no blackouts .... if MLB can offer that, why not do the same for all teams?
Exactly. I was hoping for something similar and another try at Comcast Houston 2

Personally because I don't think it is dieing. I've heard numerous reports that cord cutting has slowed tremendously and some are going back because there is just too much streaming and it's too expensive

CC can slow but not a single linear broadcaster has grown in a number of years. They are all losing share to streaming. Most millenials and basically all gen z will never have a traditional linear service...

Because the Padres got only 80% of their rights fee which was largely subsidized by MLB. Next year if they continue that path they will only get actual subscriber revenue which will be tiny vs cable/satellite. MLB taking over for SD was an emergency situation. Other MLB teams will be in the same situation soon and they are all scrambling to stay on a regional network.

F'in Mariners. Scott Servais is the type of dude that will tank their game, even though it might end up costing them a playoff chance, just to screw the Astros over.

The Rangers still need to navigate their way through their bullpen usage. This game isn't over yet.

Rangers are doing it with smoke and mirrors. They literally have no pitchers. No starters. No relievers. They are all either on the IL or just plain suck.
