Hope she is okay, I’m surprised this doesn’t happen more often.

One more reason I don't go to baseball games, that and they are boring. When the camera shows the stands at the Astros games, there is hardly anyone there, so I must be on to something.

A few years ago, broken bats were much more common. I believe MLB regulates bats more closely now.

They’re too expensive for me. You’re easily out $100 bucks.
To: BenLurkin
Ouch!
Maybe they should switch to aluminum bats. (For the children)

Some teams draw bigger crowds than others.

It helps if you have a winning team.

There must be lots of other things to do in Tampa Bay.

I have noticed that via TV with many teams the last couple of years. Stadiums built to hold in the 40k range are hardly half filled. I can sort of understand it for day and week-day evening games, but the same seems true even with weekend games.
Maybe more people are tuning via TVs with their big screens. The broadcasts have better camera angles, replays, etc. Maybe people are tuning out of baseball.

Time to put up NASCAR fenced around the entire stadium.

We must have greatly improved Bat Control at once. AT ONCE, DO YOU HEAR!
(We even allow children to “play” with bats! Shameful.)

I attended a game there in ‘07 when they were still the doormat of MLB. I even had my Cleveland Indians cap on and no one said anything.
To: Ditter
Astros’ on-field success hasn’t been noticed judging by attendance, which is the same 22,000 per game as last year.

Why pay thousands of dollars to go to the game. With a good Hi-Def TV, the cameras provide views that are closer than even the best seats in a stadium, especially with those wire mounted cameras that can float over the playing field. I mean you can see the stitching on the uniforms; how much closer can one get!

Wear a Chief Wahoo hat in L A and people just figure you’re a gangbanger.

In my opinion, oversaturation is a problem. Too many teams playing a season that is too long.
There are 5 teams in California 2 AL and 3 NL. They should go back to scheduled double headers on weekends to shorten the season.

I’m the same with NASCAR. I live withing hearing distance of Michigan international speedway but prefer to watch the race on TV.
