Current Events > As I get older I appreciate baseball more and more.

(+) Yeah! (+)

The simple beauty of it.

I can see why its now viewed as a boomer game, it takes perspective to understand why its good.

I don't blame you. The older you get the more naps you need, and what better way to induce than watching baseball

Next youre going to listen to jazz and drinking prune juice

NFL and NBA change the rules every year because theyre still trying to get it right.

Baseball has been fucking DONE for 150 years.

Oh yes, I remember instant replays in baseball back in the 1920s.

I also remember how stagnation is better with the young people than evolution.

Basketball is the best sport to nap through. Nothing matters for 46 of 48 minutes.

Baseball has the same aspect as soccer where any given play can be meaningful.

Baseball is a sport that the more you understand it, the better it gets. Defensive shifts; the pitcher, batter, umpire mind games; base runner strategy, bullpen usagage; lineup changes. Plus it has the best playoffs. Doesn't have 2/3 of the league make it. Only day off is travel days and waiting for the opposing series to finish.

That isn't remotely true.

It's a very strategic mind game.

I completely understand why people find baseball boring, but it is still my favorite sport. I could watch any game involving any teams and enjoy myself.

It's a dying sport and has been dying for years. "It's better because it's soooo boring, when something finally DOES happen, it makes it more exciting!!!" is the dumbest logic ever. It's like sitting at home watching paint dry, and getting fucking ecstatic when a guy trying to sell you solar panels knocks on your door.

So make a topic about it instead of moving the goalpost because you said something ignorant.

Baseball is a good NyQuil substitute, but it beats golf in terms of playing and watching

What goalpost? Nothing I have said in this topic has contradicted, well... Anything I said.

So you're blind enough to take over for cb buckner

Umm, if that's how you feel about baseball, then you just don't like baseball. It's enjoyable to watch all the way through.

Unless the last 3 months are the preview of what is going to happen in the next CBA and steroids won't be around to bring popularity back.

Golf has the best sports video games tbh simply because I love playing them while I have zero interest in playing golf in real life

Every moment in baseball actually matters more BECAUSE there is no time limit.

In order to end the game you NEED to get those outs, you cant just get the lead and run out the clock like a pussy.

It genuinely kinda makes me angry to see people complain about how boring they find it. They all think they're being clever by calling it a sleep aid or whatever, but it's just annoying.

It really shows the A.D.D of our generation.

Its why in the NFL defense is basically just fodder for the offense to score big passing touchdowns now because these kids think defensive chess matches are boring.
