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

(41,812 posts)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.

(29,088 posts)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.

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