re: Is the new "pray for a walk/error" college baseball style affecting attendance?

Interesting. Luckily, I've got all of football to sit on the sidelines and see how people fair with it before I buy into something like that in the spring.

Its one thing to sit through a game with seven combined hits when two outstanding pitchers are dueling it out. Its actually a treat to see that type of pitching.
Really? You think it's a treat to watch nothing happen? I fully understand the talent and skill of a good pitcher, but I've never understood why fans think it's a treat to watch a guy stand in the exact same spot and throw a ball over and over and over again to a guy crouching in the exact same spot, and nothing much happens.
Baseball, by its very nature, is a slow sport, and I'm just not a fan. I could be a fan if there was much more offense (and I actually paid much more attention a few years ago with the old bats) and if there was less down time (use a pitch clock, fixed number of "timeouts", reduce time between innings, less warmup for new pitchers, limited substitutions of pitchers per inning, etc).
Now, no.

We've mostly had one of the top attendance figures outside of the SEC since Robe has been here.

thats not saying muchPosted on 4/14/14 at 1:17 pm to harry coleman beast
Maybe not but we're usually 20-30 in attendance most years. I don't know how much it's gone up this year. Just seems fuller to the naked eye.

Im sure more people are going. Ive met a lot of lifelong ULL baseball fans this year...

I've met some too. I've had to make some people move from my seats a couple of times this year who've tried to get uppity.

That still won't do you any good for baseball.
There are 7 SEC schools that host a series each weekend during conference play. That would take way too much man power to put those on the internet.

just replying to the first post about not making it to games...rather than blaming it on performance...blame it on yourself...thats all

That's why it will be up to the individual schools. If LSU or any other school produces video of the games like they do now, it will be on there.

MLB is a LOT more interesting to watch than college baseball now.
This is nothing new.

I have season tickets in the grand stands. I usually go to 2 games on the weekend and give the third to different clients. It has become almost impossible to give the tickets away because the games are such a snooze fest. The new bats have absolutely ruined the game.

you're probably not a big fan of art or poetry either, I would guess...
