Mao is blaming Miles Simon and Donald Rumsfeld.

Not really, I know about as much about ASU and UA Baseball as you do about Arizona Basketball - nothing.Mao is blaming Miles Simon and Donald Rumsfeld.

Because Skkorp made a jab in my direction which I replied to. You'll notice my contributions on college baseball matters is strictly relegated to discussing the futility of the sport and replying to you people.
Again Baller - reading comprehension greatly helps out on this board. That and contributing even when your team is not on the winning end of things.
So Skkorp's
escaped your reading comprehension?

Please explain...
Let's get this thread back on topic - any more sniping, those posts will be deleted.
He doesn't like aluminum bats. Of course college hoops has a ridiculously placed 3 point line, college football players only need one foot in bounds, and there are lots of other rule differences between college and pro sports. However, Mao seems to think the aluminum bats ruin the game.
I of course, disagree, I think college baseball is tons of fun.

I wished they used wooden bats myself, but fail to see how aluminum equals futility. It's not like one team gets the advantage of aluminum, while the other is forced to use wood. It's still a level playing field, and college baseball games are probably the best value (price per ticket wise) in college athletics (hell, maybe all sports).

The problem
The metal bats is just one of the many reasons I can't follow college ball, I've always felt they give the game a cartoonish affect with a bunch of 5'8 guys carrying around these sticks that can pound the ball 450 feet. Now granted I did feel a similar way about pro ball during the Steroid and Matchbox Ballpark Era, but because other aspects of the product on the field (especially defense) were so good I somewhat overcame it.
I also can't stop to think when watching college baseball that I'm watching something similar to Segregation Era Baseball due to the lack of Latin players. Last I heard they make up around half of MLB rosters and without them and the other American kids who go to the minors straight out of high school you're really only getting to watch about a quarter of the best young players in the world. There is also the issue of games never being televised nor is there any decent media coverage (probably due to the reasons I stated) so following the sport closely becomes quite the hassle. Neither of these are problems with the revenue-producing college sports.
I've tried with college baseball, many of my friends go to games and I've been to a few of them as well as minor league games when living in Tucson. I had a good time, but it's mostly because I like baseball in general (still play in a men's league every Summer) and just being at the ballpark. But to me it's minor league baseball and I've always lived less than 20 minutes or a remote control away from major league baseball and the choice is easy when it comes to choosing one to follow. I suppose of I learned to be a more casual fan it could be possible, but the sport is so obscure and has too many flaws that it would take way too much time and energy to be the devout fan of it that I am of other sports.
Just my opinion of course, you guys are more than welcome to it. Just like I'll never badmouth NASCAR or Arena Football League fans despite my negative opinions on those sports. As they say, different strokes...

Furthermore, I'll go and watch a minor league/pony league/babe ruthe league/connie mack league/the worst team in the history of baseball league, and I'll still enjoy watching the game...Either you like baseball or...

Observant as always...

You can love baseball yet not be a fan of college baseball. Just like you can love basketball yet find the WNBA and And 1 Mix Tour pointless. Same goes for loving football but boycotting the XFL, Arena League, and NFL Europe.
I feel about hockey the way Mao feels about college baseball. Ugh. Boring.
I guess I'm not obervant when it comes to college baseball or pro baseball as I haven't seen too many 5'8" guys hit the ball 450 feet...

They usually start televising games when the Pac-10 season starts.

I think if you're willing to pay for that CSTV internet site, you could probably watch some, but it's pretty expensive, imo.
