Speedway baseball game....

This shit is an abomination. MLB should be embarrassed to have Major League players out there in a half dark field in a monsoon in a fucking racetrack.

Wait, that's tonight?

What have I missed that's so bad?

It’s raining. Otherwise it probably would have been pretty cool.

They gave up tonight, will try to get it in tomorrow.

Well, MLB certainly should have done a better job controlling the weather.

Well they could have simply done what was obvious and cancel the game...rather than having the teams out there when baseball clearly could not be played.

What exactly is the point spending all that money to set up a field at a racetrack for a one off game?

$$ and creating fanbase excitement for the sport. The Va Tech v TN college football game at Bristol in 2016 was a massive success, drawing the biggest college football crowd in history.

Unfortunately, this season the Braves suck, which took some luster off this MLB promotion. And given the Braves luck this year, of course the weather was uncooperative and the attempt to play last night for the Fox national broadcast made the entire stunt a pathetic spectacle. I assume the promoters have to get the game in to avoid owing refunds to 84,000 disappointed fans(??)

Because while schools are struggling to pay teachers, entertainment continues to have too much money

To make more money.

really remarkable what we spend on garbage entertainment and what these 'entertainers' are paid while there are so many homeless vets and starving children in this world.

What are you doing to help alleviate this situation? Beyond whining about red and blue tribes and holding yourself up as a paragon of nonpartisan righteousness on the internet?

 

[Oddball]

I get that Trump wants to control every aspect of our lives, but now Trumpers want to have a DOGE type reduction in entertainment?


As a side note -- even with DOGE cuts (and often directly because of DOGE), the US government is doing less for "homeless vets and starving children in the world"...

This. The Braves are cursed this season.
