    Hardly. It’s like hurricanes. They’ll start talking about “Gen Alpha” next.

    So MLB is counting on convincing Gen Z’ers to sit for three-and-a-half hour games where inaction is the rule, not the exception? Good luck. Gen Z types are more likely to get into college fastpitch, where a doubleheader is played in the same amount of time by players who wear their hearts on their sleeves but don’t waste time between pitches and innings.

    Rob Manfred should spend a week in Oklahoma City this June watching how the softball players generate so much enthusiasm in the stands. Maybe one of Rob toadies can even take notes.

    We can make baseball exciting again by introducing all-week cricket matches.

    American football & baseball are naturals for the iPhone generations. They can spend 75% of the time watching their social media feeds and not miss any of the action.

    Don’t worry, they’ll probably come up with some silly name for the generation that follows them…

    MLB is dead, but the corpse will still twitch for a little while.

    The game has slowed down since Mark Buehrle retired. I once turned the TV on to watch the last hour of the White Sox game, and Mark Buehrle was pitching. The game was over in two hours and I missed it.

    Given the state of sports at all levels from the playground up to the pro level and world stage, the rise of esports and the world’s state in general they very may be the last generation to experience pro sports as we know it

    We can do baseball again by making baseball themed episodes of different shows.

    “Designated Baserunner” in extra innings is the dumbest thing since “The Pet Rock”.

    At those prices,I WANT a 15-inning game.

    To make baseball relevant again, the RSNs need to go.

    Bring back batters who are using PEDs. That was exciting. As for GEN Z being the last, if we don’t do something about our climate, it may well be the last.

    Baseball would be exciting again without about 10 teams. replay, wild cards and Jack Buck.

    Next is Gen AA: Arrogant Anonymous. Wanted to use another term, but they don’t allow that here.
