Re: How Closely Do You Follow MLB?
I can’t name five Oakland Athletics, but I do follow the Reds very closely (I can name like 50 of their prospects lol), I play fantasy baseball, and I always start a new offline league with each edition of OOTP.

Re: How Closely Do You Follow MLB?
My knowledge of MLB has deteriorated to watching five second clips my sons show me of players I don’t know.

Re: How Closely Do You Follow MLB?
Gone are the days when I subscribed to Vineline magazine and watched entire Cubs games. I haven't religiously followed the league since having my first kid almost 20 years ago. That happens to coincide with Bartman but he wasn't the cause. I only had time to truly devote to one sport at that point and it was hockey. I watched every Caps game since the 90's after moving back to DC, so I poured my time and energy into that team, even the Jagr years and the Glen Hanlon era. I want to get back into MLB, but what the hell is that game now (grumpy old man impression)?

Re: How Closely Do You Follow MLB?
I used to follow it quite a bit more intense. I grew up a huge Cubs fan. When the Cubs decided to tear apart their core a few years ago and trade Rizzo, Bryant & Baez that one really hurt my feelings a bit and I began to slowly back away from the day to day game.

Re: How Closely Do You Follow MLB?
I’m surprised by this. But it does remind me of Tim’s statement that OOTP is a financial sim with a baseball skin.

Re: How Closely Do You Follow MLB?
I follow my team the Rangers a little, mainly looking at their standings position and box scores. Other than that BBA consumes most of my baseball interest, as does my fandom of the Lakers and the Saints.

Re: How Closely Do You Follow MLB?
Honestly, I don't follow MLB much at all but I can name five A's, mainly because they are my team in my MLB the show franchsie. LOL Main reason I don't follow it is because it's impossible to...thanks to Bally Sports and their streaming deal. Even if I wanted to do Bally Sports plus for $20 a month...it doesn't show it including the Reds. Used to be on YouTube TV but hasn't in a couple seasons. And of course, can't do MLB TV because it blocks out local games.
I did get to watch yesterday's game...because it was on FS1.

Re: How Closely Do You Follow MLB?
I actually haven't watched more than 2 innings of a game all season. Mostly cause I working overnights now and my only time to sleep is from 6-9:30, when most games are on. But another part is the over analytics, AI managing the games and all these stupid arcade rules.
