Fans At Bat

[Benjamin Grimm]

Does anyone else get email invitations to participate in Fans At Bat surveys? I almost always take the survey, but each time I expect that I submit the responses that are most disappointing to them. I don't have any guesses about who the postseason award winners will be. I don't watch the postseason unless the Mets are in it. I didn't watch the WBC. I don't know who their sponsors are and I don't really pay much attention to what networks carry the games. They even sometimes ask me what my feelings are about corporate sponsors that I've never heard of. When they ask me what stories I'm following, they always involve the Mets. I keep waiting for them to tell me that they no longer want my input!

I suppose the reason I keep opening these surveys is to look for opportunities to share my opinion about the recent rules changes, some of which I like but some of which I despise.

Nope, never received one of those.

you have to sign up. it's a mailing list.

 

I answer them sometimes. Sometimes it's clear they're just doing advertising research and it's nonsense, but sometimes it's fun.

Same. All my responses are "I don't know and don't care who the advertisers are" and "I want more stories about the Mets."

I sometimes get on-line questionnaire invites while I'm on mlb.com

Took one just a week or so ago. I like it because it lets me tell them that I very much do Not like the ghost runner rule (they no longer even ask about the DH, treating it, I guess, like that's already a set-in-stone part of the game to the point where no one alive remembers when it wasn't so), and that I do Not gamble or play baseball-related video games.

They start out by asking you your birth year so they probably look at mine and figure I'm not the demographic they're looking to make happy anyway. and so likely ignore most of my responses.

I never reply to surveys as I figure they're just data mining operations.
