I feel the exact way; that they are scorned because attendance has fallen at least 20%. I used to be a die-hard. Now, it's just turned into casual musings and box score checking by me. I used to go to 2-3 ganes a summer. St. Louis is a hard 10 hour drive but I didnt mind because of the quality that was being placed onto the field. Now, I wouldn't even think of going to one game especially after I read about the price hikes for next season. I'll remain a fan albeit very detached.

I doubt Ben Johnson cares what channel their game is on. You don't manage your team that way. You can also watch every Memphis game free on the Bally's Sports App. Not sure why this game is a bigger deal than most?

True. But not as stupid is not trading for Dustin May and signing him to a 5-year extension.

'BAZAR' observation

The game is blacked out outside of the teams local footprint

I'm going to watch this one even without JJ. It's a shame he's not playing but I want some Cardinal(ish) baseball!

Same here I liked the interview with blaze

I think I've seen Mathews pitch once. He's our #2 prospect. I really hope he pitches well from here on out. We are starving for some starters.

I hope you guys still watched the game....

Mathews has 6 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 8 K gem going right now.

Mmemphis is being No Hit...but that's besides the point

The organization should have given him a heads up that tonight's game was available to a wider audience. His off day could've been yesterday. Get people excited to see this kid in a few weeksm This organization sucks at good marketing. Too focused on bobbleheads and what ever dumb [shirt] they can try to sell.
