College baseball world series

No I didn't but I also didn't have a bbq by the pool to go to, or fireworks to pop or the beach for the Fourth of July or the camp at false river or the point or grand isle. On Wednesday June 26th at 6pm I literally had nothing better to do than watch college baseball. Most people have plenty of better things to do on 4th of July than sit inside and watch tv.

So you have lots of options, take the game with you, its 2019.

Besides why you want to hate on Chevrolet?

So you want to grow the game and your idea is to have the casual fan who isn’t a huge fan or a fan at all go through the trouble of streaming it on the beach or in a pool for the 4th? Genius I tell ya

Even if its happening in the background, interest in the sport grows.

And by doing on a day where everyone is outside you immediately diminish how many backgrounds it’s in. If baseball wants to grow it needs more national televised games and coverage all season long.

You've been tailgating.

Sports follows everyone outside.

You should probably get outside more

For reasons totally unrelated to this marketing topic, you are right.

This year they had 2 days rest from the last game before the championship. Why not just make that a 4 or 5 day rest period. Then you get all your pitchers back and you still finish before July 1

The real sue is, if you made it to the final two, each should have their full arsenal.

The viewing date of the final championship game is my goal. How we get there matters not. Fully rested teams would just be lagniappe.

Move the season back a week is another option.

The NFL has 5 weeks from start to Super Bowl, and 1 week more before the All-star game. College bowls go from Dec. 20 to mid January these days.

Jan 1 bowl games were the secret sauce that grew the sport.

College football would not be where it is today if the final game had always been on Jan 13th.

A July 4th baseball championship would grow the sport.

they cant move the season further to the warm side, they will probably start it even earlier now to ensure south maintains its advantage

I feel MLB is doing itself a disservice holding their draft during the 3rd month of the regular season.

If they wanted maximum exposure, they should hold it immediately following the CWS Championship game.

If exposure is irrelevant they should hold the draft in the off season like the NFL.

Baseball fans would be more into it under either of those scenarios.

football players are now skipping bowls, i say hold the mlb draft even earlier let/make the baseball players leave before playoffs start

Would anyone want to go sit at the tigue right now and watch baseball?
