No I think it's 2023 and ota is a shrinking market.

That over the air market is going to be huge. When people discover they can install antennas on their houses no one will be using the Internet. It truly is a fad. Bring back rabbit ears. Have some games in color and some in lively black and white.

They Gone - lots of coaching changes
By definition then anyone on the Sox staff is instilling the Sox way and therefore isn't any good.

After JR
I imagine non fans would want the team to move instead of ripping off everyone like that.

White Sox 2023 Playoff Thread
People have so many more choices than when they wore fedoras to the game and listened on the radio. So much more than even the games in lively black and white, over the air, television. People are still entertaining themselves. Want to watch a movie? Stream it. Want to learn how to build a backyard pizza oven? Go on line and start gathering materials. When there were six stations to watch, that baseball game may have been the best option. Now, with literally millions of things to look at, it might not be to the casual fan. It's a crowded marketplace with business all fighting for your attention and time. Keep doing the same old stuff from fifty years ago and every time an octogenarian dies, so too does your business.

Playoffs are more exciting. Look at March Madness. Stop the season at 117 games, send the losers home. Play the rest of the season with 16 teams then have an 8 team tournament. College basketball crushed the ratings with a huge playoff. College football, same thing. People love win or go home games played by good teams.

Exactly. And September should be used to see who they are by playing the better teams head to head instead who gets to beat up in the Sox and As.

There was a time there that GB and the Bears had the best linebackers in the game against the run. And with everyone in the division running on snowy winter grass outside it was a great strategy. Football in a dome just doesn't cut it for me.

41% decrease in viewership
So there are a good number of Sox fans that will drop baseball. Seems like a small percentage of an ever dwindling number. Of course when they become the Astros they will draw like crazy. But what, in over a hundred years of Sox baseball, would indicate that's even remotely possible? I imagine watering down the talent even more with a couple more expansion teams is possible. But I believe with JRs tenure as owner the other owners would allow him to move because they wouldn't want to be interfered with. What's good for the goose and all.

41% decrease in viewership
Today MLB gets the Cubs with a 5/5 share of Chicago and gains 100% of a new region when the team moves.

I taught government. It's correct. You can report a crime, file a report with the police. They decide if the person should be arrested and a prosecutor decides if they should pursue charges. You can't demand someone be arrested and prosecuted. Well I guess you can demand it, but they don't have to do it.- Trevor Bauer
We noticed while checking your background and media that you enjoy choking women until they pass out. If that a sex thing? No. I just like seeing them laying there like they are dead and think I did that. Seriously? No. I get my rocks off. Duh. Phew, I almost didn't hire you. But since it's a sex thing we're cool. What company would hire this guy and in what position? It's public.- Trevor Bauer

Yes I am. I'm a teacher and teachers get fired all the time for that. Are you ready to employ someone, keep paying their salary, while your customers leave and your business declines? No business does that.- They Gone - lots of coaching changes
He was another friends and family hire from a dark era in Sox history.- White Sox claim Alex Speas from Rangers
We were this close to a battery of Spease and Mercedes. If Katz can cut that ERA in half the guy will really help AA- They Gone - lots of coaching changes
Admitting you have a problem is the first step in recovery. While it's less change than most fans wanted, it's much more than experienced fans expected. We could win 70 next year!!- They Gone - lots of coaching changes
I know in golf players at all levels will make changes to their swings while working with their coaches. I don't see why baseball players would be any different. Some players have stuck with their personal instructors instead of the team coach. - Trevor Bauer
