get out of the house.

My stepfather is in his 90’s (Mom is in her 80’s) and it’s going the be hot as hell and humid. I thought it’d be great to just have a baseball game on as we had lunch and watermelon. We are stopping to get them peaches on the way. This was all my daughter’s idea.

Why the hell isn’t baseball on on the 4th?
Money, that’s why.

I enjoy baseball on the radio, very Americana.

As they say, your mileage may vary. Maybe where you are it will be pleasant. Not here. Maybe not where underpants is either.

Heat index at home could be 105, at least plus + 100.

Cooler in the valley.

Currently sitting in the car on Carters Mountain (Near Monticello) with the dog. My wife and daughter are getting peaches and hopefully a pie. It’s an apple and peach orchard.

Talk about foul balls.

Actually, please don't.

Used to be you could count on most games being at least 3 hrs. long and many were longer than that, but now they are shorter by about 20 minutes or so (or so it seems to me).

What irks me is when they mic up a player in the field and yak with him during the game! Or split screen interviews with someone in the dugout. Just show the game!! All that other stuff is too distracting.

Two years pre pitch clock the average game time was about 3:06.
In the year & a half since it's 2:37.5.
It did what it was supposed to do.

Actually, I count 15 games today starting at 11:05 am EDT. It's not a lack of games, it's a lack of traditional network access. I was going to suggest a sports pub! But family celebrations are great, too.

I’m getting so tired of the corporate greed … used to be lots of baseball on every weekend without having to pay for TV service. 4th of July, Memorial day, double headers….

An aside, I remember before our kids came along and we would visit Mr. Diamond’s folks on a weekend, they would sit there glued to a golf tournament on TV all afternoon…..

You can watch with a free trial to either. MLBtv usually has a free game on weekends. Not sure if they will today, though. MLBtv App is free also.

MLB networks has around 9 consecutive hours of games, and they tend to be a the floor level of most carriers' sports package.
If you mean networks with over air broadcast channels, I guess I'm not surprised that none of them are carrying it.
They seem to only involve themselves with the post-season.
