Some of us don’t feel a draw to one specific mlb team. Lots of us have local teams or teams with players we know playing g on them working their way up the ranks. I would watch Jax suns games for example. Or maybe some of the games with former tiger or local players on them.

You can watch MiLB with a MLB TV subscription.

I barely watch regular season MLB games

So no

But there is something so very charming about minor league baseball

I would probably never watch a minor league game on TV

But they are fun games to go to

Jax havent been the Suns since 2016 so doubt you'd watch the Jumbo Shrimp on tv much if you havent even followed them enough to know their name. I like going to their games in person a few times a season but that even gets old. No way I'm watching MILB from my couch.

I’m a Giant’s fan, and lived in Richmond for many years and never went to a game.

The only charm of a Minor League game is its friendly to your wallet, easy parking, cheap ticket, cheap beer and cheap hotdog dinner at sunset.

Since you can't smell the grass and cracker jack through your TV, wouldn't understand the appeal of watching on your couch...unless you were related to a player.

I do occasionally on MLB.TV. But the Reds are my priority and usually there's some other pro game on that I'll watch before putting on a minor league game.

nope, last night was the first MLB game I actually watched this year. Rangers-Astros only because a kid my son grew up playing on the same team with was on the mound for the Stros.

Not on tv, but Mississippi Braves have an awesome park in Pearl. Always enjoyed going to games there. Seen a ton of big leaguers come through before they made it big too. McCann, Freeman, Heyward, Kimbrel, Acuna, Albies, Fried, and a ton more all came through there

I used to enjoy catching zephyrs games on Thursdays. Cheap beer and always fun to watch some baseball with friends.

It’s ashame they lost the affiliation with the Astros, they never seemed to recover after that.

No, I love going to them though. RIP to my local team having $30 all you can drink thirsty Thursday in conjunction with their $1 hotdog promotion.

Can we have Star Wars night in my den?
