I wish they didn't do the pitch clock. Baseball is best when you can really feel every minute. There's something audacious about letting those minutes and hours melt away from our already short existences.

I think the pitch clock is a net positive for the game but I agree that baseball's greatest strength is its leisurely, pastoral nature it's the perfect sport to have on in the background while doing something else, and as far as live games go it's wonderful spending a sunny afternoon lazing in the outfield seats of your closest minor league venue

I missed all of Dynamite last night because of a bipolar episode, and I'm currently locked away in my office because if my wife and i talk, we're just yelling at each other, again, because of what I said and did in that bipolar episode. This isn't any fun, either.

Baseball is always great to watch... as a movie. Love baseball movies. Bored to tears by trying to watch an actual game, but it is the same deal with American football and basketball so I assume it is something to do with how television and advertising affect the structure of the games.

Have you ever gone and seen a game in person? Totally different experience. I love baseball, but watching it on TV was barely tolerable for me until the pitch clock, which helped a bit.

Games of anything are almost always more fun if you go in person though so I don't doubt you're right!

If a pre-pitch clock game was more or less twice the length of what it already was I would have been perfectly happy. Baseball is about hanging out on the couch, drinking an ice cold lager, eating a hot dog, listening to Keith, Gary, and Ron goofin off https://youtu.be/HG47eYhlOpc?si=EaTuL25F4a3tbj0P

The majority of players in the highest possible level of a professional sport are visibly bored during the majority of the game in which they are actively participating, and you expect me to WATCH this sport? For 17 hours???

personal rules for watching baseball 1. start watching baseball in the bottom of the 7th inning 2. select to watch a game where one of the teams playing would become 1 more win away from winning the series if they win this game, or better 3. if any of your baseball watching partners are a "god hates me" personality guy, do something else. play a little computer game called Al Emmo and the Lost Dutchman's Mine

I’ve been to lots of MLB games in my life and I feel like the last thing I paid attention to at all of them was the game itself. Though to be fair, they were all Mariner games.

I'm not the biggest fan of baseball but I know that playoff baseball is the best baseball. Not because the best teams are playing, but it feels like everything matters. Baseball feels really listless during the regular seasons because 162 games of a game with no game clock. Even the commentary sounds bored. But during the playoffs, every game matters, every pitcher/batter confrontation feels tense. Everything feels like a matter of inches.
