Since non-Sports DISH subs didn't care about the channel it was a flop?

I disagree, it was a welcome addition to the true baseball fan.

It was a flop ratings wise.

This channel is all that the RedZoneChannel offers and then some. Live cut ins to games with scoring opportunities, and believe it or not LIVE games twice a week.

But, for some reason, you fall all over yourself for the redzone channel, which is only on 6 hours a week.

MLB is on 24/7. How did you put it? A poor man's Sunday Ticket, or in this case a poor mans MLB Extra Innings.

Baseball fans tend to be more provincial than most other sports fans and only want to learn/watch news and games of their own team. So it's no wonder the ratings weren't that high. Would be interesting to compare it to the exclusive other-sports channels: NFL, NBA and NHL.
