"As baseball enters its quarter pole to the season, several deepening trends show the sport continues to evolve into more of a boom-or-bust game, with great yawning gaps of inaction punctuated by the quick dopamine hit of the home run." si.com/mlb/2019/05/14… 
.@timdahlberg on reasons for #MLB attendance slide: "Take your pick, but here’s [another] possibility: Baseball is becoming hard to watch, and fans are registering their displeasure by staying home in increasing numbers." msn.com/en-us/sports/m…
