OOOOOH an MLB Survey!! Baseball must realize it is broken!!! (Although it is back baby!)

“Matt, nobody cares about baseball.”
“DON’T YOU THINK I KNOW THAT? THEY DID!! BUT NOT ANY MORE!”

My friend just got this and was cool enough to take notes!`

Shall we?  Of course we shall!!!

What year were you born?

Zip Code?

Why do you like it less?  (you guys know my list.)

Do you find yourself more/less……attending games, watching games, talking about games, betting on games, streaming games, reading about games.  They got a lot of LESS out of me.

What teams interest you?

If you change one thing about on-field…  (open ended)

Then some COVID questions!!   Like are they raising in my state?  @mediagoon better get ready for some reshoots.  Somebody knows something.

Then some Qs about whether or not Covid worries me traveling to the stadium  or getting a hot dog etc.  Hey baseball, this isn’t the issue.

Do you believe games are safe to attend?  Yes/no/too early to tell. This Q is Covid related.

What streamers have you used last 7 days?  Everything here listed from ESPN+ to Paramount Plus.

What social media….?  Everything from the obvious to Twitch and Discord

So my sense here is…..

…they hope Covid is to blame, because if not for Covid baseball would be baby

…they recognize the sport is broken, which is a great first step

….they wanna stream

…they want your $
