I was JUST complaining to my trainee about ESPN (Sports Center specifically)....I feel they don't give a flying fuck about baseball. All Sports Center covers is baseketball/football I feel they spend maybe 5 minutes a show on baseball and spend the rest of the broadcast about pretty much anything else.

I know baseball has Baseball Tonight but it's never run on repeat in the mornings so its invalid.

Maybe if the MLB didn't hold its Draft during the season, as games are happening, it'd be better.

But I do agree that ESPN does push baseball to the side a bit, and favors basketball and football.

Especially football. They'll give the NFL more coverage than baseball and even basketball even when they (the NFL) is in its offseason. It's ridiculous.

But yeah, the MLB doesn't help its case by holding its Draft during the season, and on the MLB Network. If they held it on ESPN it'd get more love from the channel, I think.
