Saturday baseball games used to always be 6 PM… After April/Easter. Why did it ever change?

It looks like both will be broadcast on Sunday. So why is baseball not being streamed on Friday and Saturday?

My apologies. The sun must have gotten to me. Was sitting out in the grandstand around 4 pm.

Agree. Go back to the old days before they started tampering with start times. 6, 2 and 1.

Softball will be broadcast instead. The softball program has been excellent for a long time, and deserve a ton of support and recognition, but that’s just ridiculous.

And it really sucks for those baseball fans that aren’t able to attend the games in person. I realize softball has those fans too, but that number is much higher for baseball.

And I would guess that more eyes from Troy would be on a baseball broadcast than there will be Texas St softball fans watching from San Marcos.

I can (maybe) understand showing softball either Friday or Saturday, both both?? Just a hideous decision.

The UL vs Texas State is a huge softball series. Alot of eyes from both schools will be watching.

We can agree to disagree. Baseball averages more fans than the softball stadiums capacity.

I love Cajun softball but women’s sports don’t draw the same attention as men’s. It’s just the way it is.

Is that why the WCWS has outdrawn the CWS the last few years? This is facts.

You sure those are facts?

Last years CWS averaged 24,407 per game.

The WCWS, with OU and Oklahoma State both in it, set a single game record with 12,533 in attendance for one session.

I’m going to need to see the source of these facts as well.
