ii was watching the angels/braves game earlier. the 9th and 10th innings took over a hour. 30 seconds between each pitch. if they gonna intentionally walk a batter why not just bean him lol. i fell asleep twice during the really boring 11th and woke up just to see the game was in the 12th inning. the baseball gods should just change the rules and award a tie if the score is tied after 9 innings
why are baseball games so boring
- Thread starter short
- Start date
I'm a casual fan. I'll watch the Giants game if its on but I dont go out of my way to rush home if the game is about to start. Hella games during the regular season. I'll pay more attention during playoffs tho. I aint gonna lie, shit does get boring watching it on TV but going to the park is an experience.
Baseball is like therapy to me. I just zone out and focus on the game and soak up the atmosphere and the energy. Its a great escape from the mundane to drink some beers and watch a game. Its a different pace than any other sport so if you can't handle the pace you won't like it.
NBA is kind of a back and forth pace nonstop and is great for little kids or people who can't pay attention to things for longer than 24 seconds at a time. NFL is good for a slow 40 second buildup then a massive amount of action at once. Then back to building up. Plus timeouts plus commercials. Something like 10 total minutes of extreme action and excitement with 90 minutes of commercials. Its good for people who need to run constantly to the fridge or bathroom or who are focused on eating food. Baseball is like a very slow continuous buildup that can end in a massive explosion of excitement or disappointment, or it could just kinda never culminate in an epic finale. You never know, every single game is different

I fell asleep to angels game too last night lol
But baseball is sick, like Sacsick said go play it and you can appreciate it better. When you realize you cant throw over 60-70mph or break a pitch accurately, can't follow how balls carry outfielding on the run in the sun, can't hit 420 yards for a center field home run etc. You'll begin to appreciate the skill in every pitch, hit and out.

It's a game of strategy that you have to truly appreciate. It all starts from the pitcher and catcher working together to throw a certain pitch in a certain location to try to make the hitter swing and miss, ground out, or fly out. The pitcher has his own view of what the hitter is doing in anticipation for the next pitch and so does the catcher, which is why they need to work together. The catcher can see exactly where the hitter is standing in the batter's box and exactly where his hands are and if they changed from the last pitch, maybe in anticipation of a curveball or change-up. Then, you have all of the fielders who have a plethora of different scenarios running through their head about where they are going to throw the ball if it's hit to them. It could be something as simple as having a runner on first base and throwing the ball to second to turn a double play to just throwing to first because the ball was hit too far in the hole to turn that double play. If you've played baseball, especially at more advanced levels, then you have a greater appreciation for the game.
I enjoy baseball cuz i played it for like 5 years however its #3 at best of the major sports and 4 if u add boxing of being watchable

Baseball is exponentially more enjoyable when you fully understand the game and how it's played. The A's are one of the best teams to watch because they play great fundamental baseball; unlike the teams that buy wins and the same players get HRs all the time.
But even for people that don't get it, watching games in person is dope. It's hard to watch any sport in person without getting into it.

Baseball bats are cool weapons, that's one of the reasons I like baseball.
