ESPN Sunday Night Baseball sucks.

I hate these on field interviews while players are in the field. Who the heck cares what Altuve's favorite Taylor Swift song is.

1. I'd think the managers wouldn't want that

It’s a distraction for a defensive player. The leagues have probably forced it on the teams. I’ve watched baseball for at least 60 years and those interviews do nothing positive for the game.

4. I agree it probably is dictated by MLB, but

I don't recall seeing it when I watch games on the MLB channels.

2. I'm not watching

which Taylor Swift song did Altuve choose?

[GP6971]

3. I don't know.

I muted as soon as the "interview" started.

5. Yep. Baseball is unwatchable

[Diamond_Dog]

6. I agree

Like following the game is too boring so they have to add all that stupid interview shit.

[GP6971]

7. Which makes it even

more boring.

8. I don't like when they mic up the players in the field, either.

Wouldn’t you think that would be extremely distracting for them.

Oh well, have to pander to the casual fan …

9. I beg to differ - I thought it was cool and a great opportunity for he and his son.

Sadly, it looks like the Stros are gonna be swept. Go Astros!!!

10. For him and his son.

Grammar matters.

[walkingman]

12. Thanks - Not my strongest suit.

[zuul]

14. I like the mini-interviews too.

[Auggie]

11. Pretty certain it's a network thing

And they’re dumbing down the game IMO.

[Brother Buzz]

13. Sometimes those on field interviews are pretty interesting; Golden Glovers don't always need a glove

[LisaM]

15. I can't stand those!

Especially when it's a defensive player, I'm always afraid he's going to get bonked in the head.

I like focusing on the game, do not understand all the yapping that goes on now. Baseball is a great game, I don't need a side show. I am sorry for those who do.

[RussBLib]

16. I like the idea

...of talking to players while the game is ongoing. There is a much greater range of questions vs any end-of-game interview, which is over quickly.

As long as it doesn't interfere with the actual game.
