I’m not an old guy. Well, it looks like mature radio. They always have. I love the convenience and choice that comes with the internet. But radio is accessible, free and beautiful when you can’t or won’t keep your eyes on the screen. And then you see this from the former Marlins executive in one of the worst seasons.
I’ll save you a couple of clicks and show you the drawn card:
The difference between TV and radio is disappearing before our eyes. We don’t need baseball radio anymore. The only reason we have baseball radio is to make people feel better about what’s in baseball.
The ticket from the radio sticks together like peanut butter and jelly. It goes together like cookies and cream. You ask that baseball and radio be considered because not everyone is dead yet but those who listened to baseball radio grew up. But guess what? That generation is going to die out at some point. Then you’ll have older people who grew up on their device, listening through the internet, listening to audio and video.
First, get the name Blockbuster out of your mouth. We need physical tools now more than ever. I would give up 99% of the men’s and chain stores that are left to get back and have some decent books. Second, I’m not old and I still listen to the Braves on the radio all the time. I probably do it at least once a week. I almost always listen to Braves games if I’m in the car. Having the 680 The Fan app during this time was an era of life. Imagine having John Smoltz on your stage for 15 years and feeling like you’d rather listen to the radio than him. But where am I? If you were around when baseball was America’s favorite sport, John Smoltz is the one you want to hear on TV. Third, it’s also very strange to ignore how baseball clearly craves more attention and money. And finally, if he can do without some baseball, the Marlins are at the top of my list.

So you still listen to the Braves on the radio, right? Or at least a stream? I mean, this is clearly a competition or an attempt to market something and for that reason I typically want to ignore it. But with everything available on the internet now, you can’t help but fall all over yourself to listen to his podcast.
