That's because the MLB saw its greatest attendance in 2006 and 2007. It's been downhill since then. Also, the bump in attendance due to a new ballpark (which have been ever increasing lately) never last more than a year or two. Attendance is going down year to year. Since 2007, the only year where attendance did not decrease from the prior year is 2015 (largely due to increased attendance in KC). However, attendance is shrinking again in 2016. Salaries are higher, true. You know what else is higher? Pretty much everything. https://www.ssa.gov/oact/cola/awidevelop.html Is umpiring the biggest reason that MLB is fading? Nope. But it is something that could be addressed. Sticking their heads in the sand hasn't helped MLB in the past and it won't help them now.

I don't "complain" when I notice it, but I still notice it and post about it in game threads. I'll usually say that *insert Red Sox player* was gifted a ball/strike on that play.

If they don't upgrade their SP, it suggests that they don't believe they are a WS contender. We'll have to see what happens.

And to put it in perspective, the MLB on FOX game on Monday night had the same ratings as Monday Night RAW and nobody watches wrestling anymore...
-
World Series ratings are way down. Regular Season NFL games destroy the ratings of the World Series. Overall tv ratings have noticeably shrunk from just 10 years ago. Attendance has decreased steadily since 2007. The worst thing that can happen to MLB is all of the old people dying.

Just f***ing win already...

He's hitting .233 at the moment. Maybe some of you should have pumped the breaks on him playing in Boston this year?

You're only mad because your team lost! Argument not valid!

I think fans are worried about LF more than DUMBrowski is.

One of us, one of us! Gobble gobble we accept you one of us!

The resistance to change is the reason MLB's popularity is s*** with people under 50. Once the boomers die off, MLB will be struggling and you can bet there will be contraction.

Not a strike

Don't worry, replay won't hold up the game!

Not a strike

JBJ stinks

You lie! Pedey is greatest ever! Pedey is NOT overrated! Pedey is a dirt dog. Pedey is greatest pitching coach of all time!

What 8-9 combo is dynamic?

This shift talk is embarrassing.
-
They have a large impact on my enjoyment of it. Isn't that what we're talking about? A robot ump would have no impact on the game other than a consistent strike zone.

Price v Tillman

I think you mean the "Ameeker Strike Zone."

You're not wrong. "Boston had multiple scouts at both of Peavy's recent starts, and while there was some sentiment that Peavy was not throwing as well as he did in 2012, when he struck out 194 batters in 219 innings while posting a 3.37 ERA, the consensus was that Peavy represented a major upgrade for a rotation that is uncertain as to when undefeated ace Clay Buchholz, who has been on the DL with shoulder bursitis since June 8, will return." http://espn.go.com/boston/mlb/story/_/id/9523880/jake-peavy-boston-red-sox-3-team-deal-involving-chicago-white-sox-detroit-tigers

Have you ever met any Red Sox players in person?

I've met Mo Vaughn a couple of times. Was always great with kids. I was snubbed by that Nomar goober once outside of an Italian restaurant in Manhattan Beach. My wife played in a softball game with Fred Lynn. She said he seemed very nice and down to earth. -
@bbtn James Shields has allowed 6 runs through 2 IP tonight. Overall, he's allowed 13 runs in 4 IP for the White Sox.

Has Wally even tried to wave this year? Lazy. Riding out his contract.
