As for me and as said I have said before, I quit watching, except for maybe a part of a playoff or series game, after the '94 strike.

Good point. I’m lazy about going to actual games and i imagine the prices are insane but I do love watching the Mets on SNY though. Hard to beat listening to stories from Keith Hernandez. I suspect the revenue from the tv stations is a huge part of team value.

Gary, Keith and Ron are the best in the business. I don't know what they get paid but they are worth every penny, IMO.

Yes, the multiple pitcher changes nowadays could be the single biggest thing that makes the game too long. Don't know how to fix it, but the downtime is not good.
