Has baseball become boring?

[Benjamin Grimm]

There certainly are fans who are growing disconnected. I'm sure that's been happening throughout history. The question is, are the number of younger enthusiastic fans sufficient to replace those who are losing interest? I suspect they probably are. Even if the absolute numbers are lower (and I have no idea whether or not this is the case) I think it's likely enough to sustain the game (or more accurately, the industry) for a long time to come.

But of course you would.

Sure. So let's keep it on whether we think it's boring and not how to fix it for mythical other people that may or may not be finding it boring as a reason to not watch.

I agree. This is really how I understand the question.

i find the game boring when the Mets are having a season like this. If they're having a good year, i'm very much not bored.
