Mickey Plyler's Blog: Push the Schedule Back


May 8, 2013, 9:09 AM

Push the Schedule Back

Push the Schedule Back
As I sat in Doug Kingsmore Stadium Monday night freezing once again, a thought crossed my mind. What not push the schedule back?

Granted that May usually does not feel like this but it was February or March type temperatures that got me thinking. It reminded me of

Another pro is that it would make the Dark Times about a month shorter, and I'm all for that.

Why would college baseball want to "stick it to the pros?"


May 8, 2013, 9:37 AM

As far as Im concerned college baseball has the most beneficial relationship to the pro game out of any other sport

Fall baseball = spring football


May 8, 2013, 11:32 AM

Would you get rid of spring football practice as well?

The NCAA went with a unified start date and limited the tournament exemptions. If you want 50+ games, a conference tournament and 3 rounds of playoffs, you are going to have to start in middle to late Feb.

The CWS has moved almost all the way into July now because of the Supers and new 3 game championship series. Move it any further back and it competes with football coverage which usually starts with media days in July.

College baseball and pro baseball have a pretty decent relationship as evidenced with eligibility rules and scouting relationships. Part of the reason MLB went with a shorter negiotiation period was to help college know who is coming back (at the same time college was working on scholarship limits etc).

For a number of schools they might actually lose out to those summer leagues. If you had a choice of going to Cape Cod in a wood bat league and get noticed by scouts or continue to play into middle June for an Atlantic Sun that hasn't seen a scout in years you'd be a fool to stay in Kennesaw.

Not one of the better blogs.

Cold vs Hot


May 8, 2013, 12:20 PM

Having to play in the cold in February is miserable for fans and players but having to play a double header in the middle of July is miserable and can be dangerous. This is another con. Nobody wants to use a back up catcher in the CWS because the first one is exhausted from heat.

The coaches would never get rid of offseason practice. This allows freshmen to come in and be ready to play. I can assure you that without the fall practice Clemson would not be enjoying the same results from our freshmen class. They would still be good but not where they currently are.

baseball in football weather. Umpiring over 23 years this is the 1st year I wore a jacket for the 1st month. It was freezing.
