and of course, the main reason for the split: bad coverage in general. Baseball has gotten nothing more than a *highlight reel* worth of time on Sports Center, if any, and barely anything on other talking head shows as they continue to talk circles around offseason NBA and NFL three dozen times
not to mention coverage was trash. Commentators were either too biased (no, not just talking about when Cubs played) or ignoring both teams in order to yammer about some big headline/player/team that wasn't even playing that night. >
baseball access is already trash, thanks to blackouts. ESPN covered,what,3-4 games a week? And last I checked only the Sunday Night games were exclusive to ESPN. Other days were still available through other means (admittedly could be wrong about this. I dont recall Cubs getting many of those...) >
This is from a Cubs-Yankees Sunday Nightgame several years ago. After the Cubs-Red Sox game buffered like crazy the week before (it was the year after Cubs won the World Series so we got ALL the SNBs) I tallied every time the damn espn app buffered.
It didn't get much better.

Not sure why you're happy about that.
It just means less access to baseball.

Im half (mostly) expecting the entire team to be working towards Gandalf levels by Opening Day.
