Does any sport provide more anxiety than a close baseball game?

[NYC Rebel]

I know it was said yesterday, but out of all sports I've watched, a close late inning baseball game with all on the line is the most stressful shyt in sports.

It's such a slow friggen burn between pitches. Have you pacing back in forth between pitches, worried to death about what's coming next.

That game yesterday was one of the most draining games I've ever witnessed. I don't think any sport is close to what baseball does when it's close. There's no race against the clock. It's simply a matter of waiting to see what is going to happen. Many more variables than Basketball or Football on how things can end.

Maybe so, because the clock can't bail you out

Yeah, I'd agree. When other sports are good they're really good, but when baseball is good it's great.

I think playoffs hockey is comparable especially the games that go to multiple overtimes because the first goal scored wins and all the players are battling against exhaustion.

 

[big bun]

I agree. The game allows you way too much time to think instead of being in constant motion (i.e. basketball) which relies more on your instincts.

Breh I was so full of anxiety yesterday.

ESPECIALLY when the rain delay happened.

But yeah in baseball your team can be up 3 for numerous innings and then a Homer can tie the game in a second.

It's draining.

The moments in between pitches are constant stress.

Overtime playoff hockey might be the worst in terms of anxiety, every shot feels like it's a game ender
