People who gotta drive to get there don't want to burn the 5 dollars a gallon in gas. --- Eradicate but vindicate as "progress" creeps along.

Naysaspace 07/06/22 4:07:05 AM #4:	is it the cheapest? it highly depends on market, i imagine. There are some hockey tickets where they basically give them away, along with free food packages. --- Not followed by anyone you're following <cite>Naysaspace posted [p:966372427] in The MLB se...

Ryven 07/06/22 5:02:41 AM #5:	Well, people can afford tickets......but some beer, food, trip to the merch store and suddenly its a lot more expensive. Not that that should dwindle attendance, but I know i'd be having a couple of pints and depending on the ballpark that can get pricey. --- 'We're not gonna make it, are we? People i mean.'

gamer167 07/06/22 11:05:09 AM #12:	I went to the Diamondbacks/Giants game last night. My first baseball game in like 7 years. It was enjoyable. Baseball is such a slow and low energy sport though. I probably wont go to another game for a hot minute. <cite>gamer167 posted [p:966377426] in The MLB se... [t:80084328]...</cite> <quote>I went to the Diamondbacks/Giants game last night.

CasualGuy 07/06/22 11:17:45 AM #15:	High strike out rates Players mostly just going for home runs instead of singles or doubles Infield defensive play is at an all time low skill-wise Poor management choices. That one guy was about to get a perfect game and they pulled him as pitcher because he had "too many innings in a row" --- http://i.imgur.com/MoE9O68.gif <cite>CasualGuy posted [p:966377708] in The MLB se...

Lebronwon 07/06/22 11:20:47 AM #18:	Some games are doing work hours. Or you dont have enough time after work to get to the games. Plus if a game goes into extra innings could effect you going to work in the morning if you do attend. --- Not 1, not 2, not 3, not 4, not 5, not 6, not 7 <cite>Lebronwon posted [p:966377773] in The MLB se...
