Hey @MLB - wanna get more kids watching baseball?
Maybe start with the commercials.
Watching the playoffs tonight with my kids and here's the rundown:
- Megan Fox selling ED pills in a red bodysuit
- The scariest movie trailer you've ever seen
- Sydney Sweeney in zero clothes promoting betting on sports
Leagues can't figure out why kids don't watch.
You don't need a Nickelodeon game. You're not the Savannah Bananas.
Just show baseball in a way I can leave on in my house.

The response to this has been fascinating.
Most people agreed, but lots of people said things like:
-Do you know how ads work?
-MLB has nothing to do with it
-Back in my day we watched much worse. You're a pearl clutcher raising coddled snowflakes
Let's go one by one.

Thank you @DeseretSports for the interview and this write up.
And @MLB - If the goal is long-term growth of baseball, you want as many young people watching the game as possible. That should be your north star as an organization.

I grew up lying on the living room floor watching every playoff game, and it bums me out I can't give that to my 3 young sons.
I love this game and want them to love it too.

Many responses are picking and choosing parts of my original post and then throwing out a whataboutism to try to refute it.
My post wasn’t intended to be political. It wasn’t intended to pass judgement on the people in the commercials or the studios making the horror films. They can do what they want.
The point is that sports programming has become a lot less family friendly over time. And the MLB is the most recent example.
Not sure that’s up for debate.

As a marketer AND a dad who loves watching baseball with his son... I couldn't agree more.
@mlb: You're spending millions trying to attract the next generation of fans while making the actual viewing experience something parents have to monitor.
Make that make sense.

Love our Eight Sleep but out of principle I’ve refused to pay $20/mo just to have it turn on at a scheduled time each night.
We don’t need or want all the fancy bells and whistles, don’t really care about sleep data, just want the thing to turn on every night at 9:00 PM and off at 9:00 AM.
Asked @muse for a solution and voila

Here’s the prompt if you wanna do the same
Help me automate my Eight Sleep Pod without the subscription. I have an iPhone.
I want: every night at [TIME], turn both sides ON — my side [X]°F, partner's side [Y]°F.
Every morning at [TIME], turn both sides OFF.
Walk me through it using the free Scriptable app + iOS Shortcuts: give me the full scripts (Eight Sleep API: OAuth password grant at auth-api.8slp.net, device lookup at client-api.8slp.net, temperature at app-api.8slp.net), then the Shortcut + automation setup.
I'll paste my own login into the script — don't ask me to send it.
