Huge LSU fan, can’t stand College baseball. The college game moves too slow.

As of 2015 the average college game lasted 3 hours and 19 minutes. As of 2017 the average MLB game lasted 3 hours 5 minutes and that was the highest average ever.
And there are other reasons such as ball park food, beer, and having some incredible stadiums.

Which do you prefer?

I prefer college baseball until the end of June and then MLB for the next 4 months.

I like both, but MLB is an easier watch

I enjoy college baseball for what it is. I like the emotion at the college level

I preferred college back before the weakened bats. Now it's dead even.

I have a hard time watching college baseball unless it’s A&M or the tournament. I can watch almost any random regular season MLB game

I liked the live bats until it just got silly. I do miss Rosenblatt Stadium.

MLB

It's also just easier to follow and talked about much more.

MLB by a pretty wide margin.

I'll tune in to LSU baseball once it's post-season time, and going to a few games is always a good time, but I follow MLB year round.

College ball is hard in the eyes










And thanks to the bat, the ears too.

i don’t watch much baseball outside of the Astros. Even kinda space out the playoffs if the Astros are out.

I don’t keep up with LSU baseball much anymore but I’ll still watch a few games.


Having said that, I think CWS is the most underrated sporting the country has.

I watch college, MILB, MLB, and even will go to Indy league games from time to time. I also watch JUCO baseball sometimes if I can find a stream. Same with collegiate summer league.

It's baseball. It's fun.

Same. It was different when I was in school and going to Alex box was right around the corner and free. Now-its watching low a baseball or worse . Which can be fun at times ish but not going to go out of my way to watch a game

Can't really get into College if LSU isn't playing. As someone else mentioned, I miss Rosenblatt. Just doesn't seem the same anymore.

Don't watch much MLB outside of the Astros but I can much more easily sit through an MLB game with no rooting interest than I can a college game. The talent level is amazing.

Even though this is the MSB, it's got a good amount of SEC fans on here.

College baseball is huge and at some schools (south carolina being one of them) the fan support is larger than mens hoops.

I can't stand watching baseball but vastly prefer MLB over college if forced to watch it. I don't think I've watched one inning of college baseball in my life as a spectator or on the tube. I do enjoy Spring Training games and not for the game on the field.
