Recent Atlanta outcast Dansby Swanson couldn't wait to juxtapose Atlanta pro sports fans and Chicago sports fans. In a recent interview he said of the Cubs... “This team means so much to so many people, which is very similar from the place I just came from. From the gist I’ve gotten so far, pro sports in Chicago are a massive deal. Pro sports in Atlanta are like, well, kind of a deal,” Swanson said.
“It’s not a knock against anything about Atlanta, trust me. I’m a huge Falcons’ fan and big Hawks’ fan, but it’s just different. Cubs fans, Cubs everything, is just a little bit different.’’
Bored implosion in 3...2...1...

Anyone know what happened in the Braves game yesterday? There was a discussion at home plate then the pitcher made a pitch and D'Arneaud wasn't ready. Then the ump jump out from behind the plate and pointed to Riley to go to 2nd base. No explanation and the announcers had no idea what was going on either.

I heard the announcers wonder but never heard what is was all about.

Justin Toscano @justinctoscano 2m Eli White launched a two-run blast off Carlos Carrasco. The swing adjustments might be paying off early in spring.
2-0, Braves

How MLB handles this will have a huge impact on team revenues and the way fans watch games.
Hannah KeyserWed, Mar 1, 2023 at 10:22 PM EST Forget pitch clocks and defensive positioning — the biggest story in baseball right now is the collapse of the regional sports network and what it means for the future of how fans watch games. Change is coming that could affect broadcasts, blackouts and, ultimately, the economic landscape of the sport.
Shortly after the World Series ended in November, MLB hosted its quarterly owners meetings at the commissioner’s office in New York. At their conclusion, commissioner Rob Manfred told media members there had been a long report made to owners about the future of RSNs. He referenced the need to serve both cable subscribers and cord-cutters, praised the league’s new partnerships with streaming services such as Apple and Peacock and predicted “a loosening of that exclusivity” that has long been inherent in lucrative RSN deals.
It was perhaps the least bombastic way he could've announced there might be an impending solution to one of baseball fans’ biggest frustrations.
MLB all but invented streaming. The in-house technology behind MLB.tv was, in many respects, first and first class. But from the outset, blackouts were seen as a structural inevitability. In short, RSNs give teams so much money because they receive the exclusive right to broadcast games in a certain area. Making games available to local fans online would infringe on what the RSNs pay for, so while MLB.tv made streaming games technically possible, the existing economic structures required the service to black out games in local markets, essentially excluding what is literally the target audience. (Additionally, certain pockets of the country are subject to onerous overlapping blackouts, sometimes without the option of watching those games on TV.)
In the two decades since the dawn of MLB.tv, people’s expectations about their ability to watch whatever they want, wherever they want, without the restrictions or rigmarole of traditional television, have exploded. With content consumption increasingly à la carte, blackouts have become a serious barrier in growing the game and chief among fan concerns.
Yet as local television deals grew to constitute an ever larger percentage of teams’ revenue — calculations in 2020 by FiveThirtyEight estimated about 22% of the average team's overall income — the RSN-enabled blackouts seemed intractable. Even as cord cutting became an increasingly looming threat to the cable bubble, it was difficult to see how MLB would make the transition to something equally lucrative and more modern in scope.
