Many MLB.TV subscriptions automatically renew March 1. Owners have locked out players, and it seems unethical for MLB to charge for a product they are actively working against, and at this point is unlikely to start on time. Owner's have frequently been accused of bad faith during these negotiations, and though I'm not big on unions, I'm inclined to agree. Canceling automatic renewals and keeping my money in my pocket is a no-brainer from a personal standpoint, and if it makes a small statement and deprives MLB of some of the $500 million they would otherwise collect, then all the better.

MLB just is not the same without Koufax on the mound

Baseball died on October 8, 1957, when Walter O'Malley announced that the Dodgers were leaving Brooklyn. I have not watched a game since then.

Baseball is a mega business with money to be made all around. owners, players, lawyers, agents, TV, radio, internet, hotels, restaurants, parking, clothing, cities, counties you name it. There are haters. But lots of people make ton's of money off it. So capitalism abound.

I think baseball died when they founded the national league in 1876.

But until then you were a fan, right?

Never really been a baseball fan, but I'm not a hater either. There's been a big effort for years now to try and bring an MLB team to Portland. I'm against it, but only because the traffic would be horrific.

I love baseball, but screw MLB, I am canceling my MLB.TV subscription.
