I know,that's why I just can't get super hyped for college baseball like I can and football and basketball.


So do you get super hyped for Short Season Single A baseball?

Interesting. On the entire first page there is only one thread containing any negative comments about baseball.

Seems like you are just a fricking oversensitive moron.

And, for the record, I like college baseball.

Yup, short season A ball teams would crush the best college teams in the country.



Why does that matter? I would rather support the college team i grew up watching instead of some team with rented players called the biscuits lol

It matters because the quality of play on the field just matters.

You think Arkansas would draw 60k fans if their football program was NCAA Div II?

Its not complicated.

I'm sure short season single A draws HUGE crowds. Because they have all that great talent.

This will certainly help to keep the knuckle draggers at bay. Great work.

How? The comparison has been between single A and college baseball in this thread.

How so? How many short season single A games have you been to? I've been to none, but I enjoy the hell outta going to Dude and watching the Dawgs play. Seems like a good product to me.

That argument could be carried to any college sport?

If i made a team full of MLB all-stars located in some random town in North Dakota would i watch them just because of the quality of play? No...i don't think many people would care lol

I watched guys like Cliff Lee and Craig Gentry before anyone even knew who they were

Because short season A ball has a superior product to NCAA ball and doesnt have a large following.

I hate to break it to you but outside a couple of outliers in attendance in the top 10 for NCAA baseball attendance is generally pretty poor across the NCAA baseball programs.

You do know that most of short season single A is made up of players drafted out of college? Not high school.

So you're watching college baseball pretty much.

This might be the first time this has been posted in the last five minutes. Riveting information.

College football is a direct feeder for the NFL.
College basketball is a direct feeder for the NBA.

This stuff isnt hard folks.

Yet many on this board live through college football and call the NFL boring.
