It's just overshadowed by most other sports now. Opening Day/Week is around the Final Four and the Masters. The younger crowd will only watch NBA playoffs in May and June. Then by July, when baseball is the only game in town, most people can't just decide to sit down and watch a game. Baseball is much more fun to watch when you know the context of the game, the pitch, the inning, the at-bat, etc... That's why many of yall on here only watch MLB to see MSU players. Then by September, it's football time and baseball is largely forgotten except for some mid-week playoff games in October.

I'm planning on going to see the M-Braves tonight. Without context, MiLB games can get boring. However, tonight Mississippi is throwing lefty Max Fried, who Atl traded Justin Upton for a couple years ago. He was just coming off Tommy John at the time, so some fans we're perplexed why we wanted him. Now after a nice stint in SIngle A, he's rated the 9th best prospect for Atl and has a chance to be another great young pitcher. I'm excited to see how he does tonight.
