Holy fuck I always forget how boring baseball is.

Baseball is perfectly watchable after about 3-4 whiskey sodas

Baseball, in general, should DIAFF. I was definitely very disappointed when Seattle didn't lose the Mariners. Instead, a stadium funding package was rammed down our throats and Seattle got to keep their lovable losers. Typical Seattle... keep the shitbag baseball team, but lose the Sonics.allpurpleallgold said:Bottom of the second.

I don't think I've watched a full game since the magical 2001 season

Im going to have to step in here.
I here this argument all the time, not just from the deliquents here. I completely get why people say it.
Baseball is boring to people that dont understand baseball. What most think is 40 waisted seconds in between each pitch, actually is filled with all kinds of things going on.
The act of hitting a baseball is hard. Humiliatingly hard. In the pussified society we know live in, nobody wants to deal with that kind of negativity. Baseballs popularity has plummeted while soccer has soared for this very reason. If youre an 11 year old soft cock what would you rather do? Stand in front of god and everybody and strike out, OR run around a grass area, hide from the ball, slide on the ground so you got a grass stain so gramma thinks you did great, and then have a slice of orange?
You fuckers are going to have to total up the fines in just accrued in that rant.
Fuck off. -

Agree. Fuck off. I love baseball.. Would I rather watch it than a good CFB game? No. Would I watch a game under any circumstances that doesn't involve the one team that I choose to pay attention to? No. I get all of the nuances of the game but am not entertained by them enough to watch players I don't care about.BayDawg said:Fuck off.
I'm as pissed as anyone about the prospect of the Jeter gargleathon interfering with the start of the UW game today. Doesn't make me hate baseball though. -
Official update. 2 hours in and the 5th just ended. Could have played an entire soccer match by now.

This is exactly why I hate Beer League softball and have spent the past 10 years playing old-fart NABA baseball (25+ wood bat).BayDawg said:Im going to have to step in here.

Nothing like the mind game up there with a 5 1/4 oz ball flying 80+ mph in your general direction. There is no tie or draw. You deliver, or you don't....or you get beaned and limp for a week.
I still don't watch much outside of the world series (sorry @BayDawg) - but I love playing and teaching my kids.
Softball is a fucking joke!

There are parts of this poast that deserve an awesome, and other parts that deserve a WTF, so I'm going to just leave it be. I love baseball, but the pace of the game has gotten ridiculous. Batters need to stop fucking around with their batting gloves after every pitch, and pitchers don't need to take a long walk around the mound to gain perspective before they make every pitch. Baseball games that don't go to extras shouldn't be 4 1/2 hours long. That's fucking ridiculous, and it's detrimental to the sport.BayDawg said:Im going to have to step in here.

I don't give a shit how hard it is to hit a ball; baseball is still boring. It's hard to hit a golf ball too, and golf is even more boring than baseball. FWIW, soccer blows too and that takes more skill and athleticism than the other two.

Sounds like some of you need to pop a few xanax and get some perspective for the National Pastime.

It should be renamed the "National Yawner Time".

A few things to consider:
1. We all love football.
2. NOGAF which other sports you like or dislike
3. You can't fully appreciate watching any sport without having played it. The higher the level you played at, the more you are able to appreciate the small things that the casual observer will miss.
4. I like football, hockey and football.
5. Baseball needs a shot clock sort of deal if you want to have any chance of America ever giving a shit again. -

Great points. I coach spring and fall leagues. Speeding up the game is a big emphasis for me. The kids imitate that shit because the see it on tv. I don't tolerate any of it. We play 7 inning games but with similar numbers of pitches thrown to mlb games and way more runs on average. We still keep all games under 3 hours and most under 2:30. The pace of mlb games is sickening. -
They absolutely need to implement rules to help speed up the game. Once the play ends the runner has 20 seconds to LEAVE! The field and the next batter to step in. The batter cannot leave the box in between pitches. And the holding on of runners gets ridiculous as well.
That said I like the sport -

My fucking head is going to explode watching this dreckfest baseball game. Sox fans chanting 'Derek Jeter'.
