Television for this weekend

[Million$Mullet]

Unless baseball has been completely eliminated from the postseason….yes.

It’s the same thing as the US Women’s national soccer team wanting equal pay as the men. They may be a better team relative to each teams competition, but there’s simply more interest in men’s sports.

Oh boy. You done did it now lol

There’s also such a thing as Title IX. You have to be equitable when it comes to this stuff.

Oh I get that. I was just stating that if it’s one or the other, it should always be the men’s sport.

Or in a case like this weekend, two days, at the very least it should have been softball one day and baseball the other.

And I’m taking NOTHING away from Cajuns softball. They are a great program and deserve all of the recognition they get. But 2 of the 3 days having softball and baseball just one is nonsense.

Baseball can pay like softball did and they could have all 3 days.

Thanks for the explanation and you are right that’s inexcusable. The university should be ashamed of itself for not streaming the baseball series. In any event that both baseball and softball are home and a choice has to be made baseball should take precedence 100% of the time. It reminds me of the App St series last year when I emailed their AD and told him how poor dunk they were for not streaming the baseball series. I feel for the Troy fans this week and I hope they are giving Doc an ear full on this p!$$ poor coverage of his baseball program.

Why should baseball take precedence? Softball has been consistently more successful over the years and, in my opinion, is more exciting to watch. And what's a "poor dunk"? Sounds like a bad basketball shot.

That’s not the point.

Why do you think the Russo Park has a capacity of over 6,000 and Lamson Park a capacity of 2,800?

You then make sure you televise enough women’s games when there are no conflicts. Problem solved. See how easy that is? And I don’t have a Dr degree or claim to be an AD.

If I have to explain to you that you are one of the few that prefers women sports over men’s then it’s not worth discussing. Kinda like the NBA and the WNBA. There is a reason the NBA gets prime coverage.

Then you just made my point. If they have more folks then they should have more money to pay to get their games shown. Bottom line this conversation wouldn't be happening if all the local folks that are able to make games would just go to the game instead of watching on TV. Both of your capacity totals are off.

You’re moving the goal posts now. We aren’t talking about individual sports paying to have their games shown when they aren’t already on espn+. Kudos to softball for doing that tomorrow for the fans that want to watch.

And local folks not going also isn’t the point and has nothing to do with the conversation. More people unable to attend will watch baseball over softball. As an apparently die-hard softball fan, you may find that hard to believe but there are examples of men’s sports popularity being astronomically higher than women’s sports anywhere you want to look.

And I got those capacities via a google search of “Russo Park capacity” and “Lamson Park capacity”

What are the correct numbers?

Edit: after checking those numbers via ragincajuns.com, they are exactly right.

6,015 for Russo
2,790 for Lamson
