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

I do believe the boredom factor for the way the game is played now is affecting actual attendance.
yep. MLB is a LOT more interesting to watch than college baseball now.
MLB still has some pretty prolific stars and hitters in it. I wish they would juice the ball a little more (tighten, not steroids), but overall, I think it's a great mix of speed/power in the game now.
College baseball literally has no power element to the game. If it isn't a pull HR that the wind carries like on Friday night, it's a fly out. no such thing as a double in the gap to the wall anymore.

Nope. Sitting ten rows from the field at the end of the Nats dugout yesterday was quite enjoyable watching the Braves' HR, triples & doubles derby erupt, plus Harang was on it again, then LaRoche got a cheapie off a rookie reliever. There was some wind in effect yesterday, but those guys were driving balls all game long. Zobrist, 2B for the Rays, hit 2-2 run HRs, 1 from each side of the plate yesterday. Power in MLB is just fine, even in "fair" parks.
I have a hard time taking this LSU team as a true contender. Then again, that can be said about many of the SEC teams this season. Does every team have enough holes in the roster to make them "average" and 2 W's over .500 in conference a great achievement? Maybe it is. When a legit Sunday guy makes himself known it would help my focus. I still catch many of the LSU games on GZ or other, but is more in bits and pieces vs constant viewing.

This is nothing new.
