About two weeks ago I went to my team's MLB chat page and it was gone! I guess MLB decided that it was an expense they no longer wished to incur. I am hoping that our vast array of baseball fanatics will know of other sites where the daily game can be discussed as it is played, and have other conversations on current events.
Puhlease!!! One desperate fan having serious withdrawal pains without my baseball chat!!!
Thank youse very much in advance of finding out a solution for my predicament . . .
You’re right.

Maybe MLB was afraid that their discussion boards were going to be taken over by all the people who used to hook up on Craigslist.
Maybe they’re afraid there might be some kneeling about to happen and are trying to preempt the backlash.
While kneeling in baseball has happened it’s a tiny fraction of what we’ve seen in the NFL and NBA.
Does anyone sense whether baseball is picking up in popularity at the expense of football? It would be nice if other sports got more attention thanks to the political theater going on in football.
Try the BLM message boards......
They shut down the Angels board two years ago and the Cubs board about six months ago because of suicide threats (one apparently did commit suicide in California after posting he would).
By the same people who murdered Tay?
Same reason?
I don’t know . . . that was the story that was being pushed by some of the older posters that used to post on the Angels board.
The Cubs board supposedly for politics.
I couldn’t be on a board that don’t let us argue with the snowflakes!

No HTML or UCode was allowed so it probably wouldn’t be a place they would be interested in.
MLB put together an impressive media/social media company. They may have sold it (Disney?), which would explain the change

Maybe someone posted about homos once too many for Disney’s taste.
Probably worried about the new FOSTA restrictions. Another forum I’m a member of for camping and travel trailers is considering shutting down all PM activities over this.
Dodgers suck.
Try these sites.
