ESPN baseball coverage

[MStateU]

Why does ESPN make it so difficult to watch college baseball games? Regionals going on everywhere and they have dogs catching tennis balls and Kentucky spring game on their platforms.

Then we get told how college baseball doesn’t draw a big audience.

I’m not buying the add on subscription of ESPN plus when I pay for them through dish network.

I know I could pay $7 and watch for a month but it’s principle at this point. I just logged on to *****.

....sucks

They are trying to promote ESPN Plus.

Unfortunately this trend will continue.

As a Hulu Live subscriber, I get ESPN Plus for free. I have watched a little bit from 13 different regional sites.

However, they will continue to try to push this new service.

Agree with you. My guess is they're putting all these games on + as a way to try and make up some money from all the cable cutting they've recently suffered. Hoping folks will subscribe with the thought they'll forget to cancel after the supers next weekend.

Not only does the coverage suck, but their choice of what to cover sucks.

Louisville is up 20-1 in the 9th on Michigan and they stick with that til the end to switch over to the UT-GT game.

I realize they have a policy about not cutting away from a live event, but my goodness.

About Only thing I have not seen vs baseball today,

No Corn Hole Match.

But I expect it.

 

[tatedog]

My neighbors are doing that right now, but thus far an ESPN crew has not showed up.

Because 99.99999% of the country doesn’t know or care that college baseball exists.

 

[karlchilders.sixpack]

I did not know American Track League existed till today.

 

[patdog]

Exactly. Like Paperdwag said, this is to push people to buy ESPN+. Been seeing a lot of this from Tennis Channel and NBC with the Premier League too putting some of the better matches on streaming only. At least I have Peacock with my Comcast subscription, but streaming is such a pain in the *** compared to cable, I usually just say 17 it unless Liverpool is playing.

 

[NukeDogg]

But you can bet your *** they'll air the CWS and act like it's this huge spectacle event that they love. I'd rather get Tom Hart, KP, and Ben McDonald in a booth for the CWS rather than have ESPN throw their preferred guys like Eduardo Perez into the mix and let him pretend that he's been watching and following all these teams the whole season. KP knows his **** and can talk about all the teams and players, Perez just sits there with "when I was playing we'd have done X or Y"

Ah, so I finally made it to being a .00001 percenter ***

Just pay the damn money!

Just pay the money - I watched a few hours of ExtraInnings, which is basically like redzone for College BB - it was freakin awesome. On par with first/second day of NCAA basketball tournament. I couldn't turn away.

Sirius radio has not been kind to the regionals either. SEC tv channel has shon some games but SEC RADIO channel had zero. Espnu radio also nothing. Oh well.
