Maybe that was TV ratings?

This is really cool. Baseball Bat Bros has over 15k followers on twitter. Latest post, the star of the channel has "LOUISIANA" across the chest.

The finals for the women beat the men 1.8 million to 1.7

Overall, the men’s viewership was higher. As always.

I’m pretty sure that’s John Taylor’s brother

He said in an interview that his brother having that channel had led them to Hayden Cantrelles channel. And it being one of the main reasons Taylor came here to play.

Something like that.

I think so too. I know JT is connected to the channel and someone else here could confirm. Great for the brand. Now that JT is here, I don't expect them to ULL us, and they have a really nice following.

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

Maybe I’m reading it wrong, but that’s the same article I got my info from.

The WCWS final outdrew the CWS final. But the CWS as a whole, drew more viewers.

Not to mention the men’s attendance was much higher.

Either way, it’s stupid to broadcast all 3 softball games and just one baseball game this weekend.

It’s actually a bit embarrassing.

CWS stadium is way bigger than the WCWS stadium. Attendance would always be higher. More folks tuned in to see the WCWS.

Do you think if OU or OSU were not playing in the WCWS they could average 24k in a larger stadium?

TV viewership didn't care where they were playing. More folks choose the WCWS over the CWS.

No, they chose for one game. Now would you like to answer my question?

[JMV JustMyView]

No, they chose for one game. Now would you like to answer my question?

Just the most important game they chose. Who knows what they would average. They have never played in a larger stadium. The tide is shifting to where more and more folks are watching softball.

Context matters. Just because more people chose to watch one softball game which happened to feature a nationally known rivalry over one baseball game does not mean that UL softball should be getting all their games broadcast while baseball gets one. That’s the whole point someone was trying to make. We had this discussion last year ad nauseam. It’s not that women’s games shouldn’t be broadcasted cause they should. They’ve earned that. But not at the expense of the baseball team. It’s Busch league bro.
