cant really respect any man that makes sweeping generalizations about any sport like this... there is greatness in the pace being so slow... its one of the best sports to watch zooted cause u dont really gotta pay attention at all times... yet the highpoints are great...

its called america's favorite pastime for a reason

Baseball is a sport? lol

What other sports can you play double headers? lol

most them nyggas out of shape.. its on the level of golf and bowling. A skilled game.

I do like Baseball tho.. I really do..

:ohhh: So the secret to enjoying baseball is to not really pay attention to it, lest you be bored to tears...but to occasionally take a gander at what's going on, while doing other actually more enjoyable and stimulating activities

I've been doing it wrong all these years, trying to actually watch and the enjoy the game and shyt...but the key is to not even pretend like the shyt is slightly interesting and treat it like elevator music...I'll try this out one day

:mindblown: Oh that makes since, so nobody really watches baseball, its just background noise like sportscenter or mtv jams, I wish somebody would have told me this before

I see your sarcasm but theres nothing wrong with enjoying a form of entertainment that has a passive approach rather than a an edge of your seat at every moment. Sometimes its good to just chill and :win:

Ryu the starting Pitcher for the Dodgers Pitched against Angels, dude shut them out on 2 hits under 2 hours of play

3 Rain Delays is an anomaly believe it or not.. I would estimate the ave game completes in a little under 3 hours though?

You have to be able to run as an outfielder or baserunner. Speed is a necessity, so how is it not a sport? You have to have strength as a hitter to hit the ball 400+ plus feet. You have to have arm strength to play outfield or be a pitcher.

When do you run in golf or bowling? When do you need to be fast?

It was such a big deal over here that the interest in the Subway series has dropped significantly. I watched baseball as a kid when the Mets were gettin busy in the 80's. But back then Sports was a go to, because you didn't have internet, online gaming, dvd's, and 500 cable chans.

Baseball is just not keeping up with a fast twitch world, or atleast not being dramatic enough to garner interests. The thrill of football,and Basketball are the subplots that also garner attention.

subplots? So you watch sports for the same reasons women do? :skip:

The Subway Series became less interesting for 3 reasons

1. We already saw a Subway Series. The overkill after that is bad enough, but we already saw it.

2. The Yankees gain nothing either way. That's why they can't stand it. If they win, they were supposed to. If they lose, mayhem, which leads to #3 .

3. Until this year, we beat their asses routinely in the Subway Series.

Im not a baseball hater in any way, but for me it IS one of the worst sports to watch on tv when blazed, thats for sure. unless my squad is playin. even then its just hard to pay attention in between pitches

unless you at the ballpark munchin on a hot dog, garlic fries and sippin on some sierra nevada, of course :noah:

Where many murders occur
Cricket >>>>>>> Baseball....

Cricket has way too much "swag" than baseball...There are numerous ways a batsman can hit the ball...

In baseball, dudes are just trying to hit as hard as they can...

I really don't care about that "hitting a baseball is the hardest thing in sports" argument...

Golf is also hard, but it's still slow and boring...Just like baseball...
Baseball>>>>cricket.

cricket got no swag, nikka. Ain't no one fukk wit cricket in a country that matters. And what you said about baseball is dead wrong.

Ask Tony Gwynn if all he was trying to do was hit it as hard as he can. Hitters try to hit it where they ain't. They aim when they hit. There's nuance to it. Don't talk about a sport you know nothing about.

Not only does the game move at a snails pace, the damn rain delays make it unbearable. Redsox vs Yankees with 3 rain delays :childplease:

They expended the most energy when lightning hit and everyone in the dugouts almost shyt themselves

Hurry up NFL

this game is not made for TV. I despise when I'm ready to see SC and turn to the channel and it bottom of the 7th, score is tied.

I'm like crap 2 more hrs. :aicmon:

Dude, baseball is a wack sport...There is pretty much only one swing of the bat in baseball...When you see a home run in baseball, the swing of one batsman looks identical to the next man's...

The game goes through an eternity of time before there is even the slightest sign that something will happen...

It's a statistics game, looking at the stats is more fun than actually watching the sport...

At least in cricket, there are a variety of ways the game is played 1) short version (25 overs) 2) Medium version (50 overs) and 3) Long version (5 day test match)...

There are various ways you can strike the ball, all kinds of foot and wrist work...A good cricketer can hit a six "home run" by just flicking his wrists...You don't need to necessarily swing with all your might...

There are various ways you can bowl, fast, medium, slow...A bowler can use the pitch and various grips of the ball to make it swing and do all kinds of things...

A good fielder can hit the wickets from far way, and catch a ball coming at him at 100 miles/hour with no gloves...Just bare hands...

Cricket has just WAY MORE STYLES than baseball...

Just like Rugby has more styles than NFL...
