I can't stand baseball either it keeps going on in place of shows that are actually decent to watch like the simpsons it's the longest most boring sport ever created. It literally takes the least skills of all sports
I used to really like baseball as a kid. I am not real interested in it anymore. It doesn't help that my favorite team has been horrible for the last 11 years (Baltimore Orioles). I really can't watch a game unless it is in the playoffs. It is a totally different atmosphere in the playoffs because each game actually matters. Having 162 games pretty much makes the individual games during the regular season anticlamatic. I think the saying in baseball is "You will win 60 games, You will lose 60 games, it is what you do with the other 40 is what matters." If you are expected to lose 60 times then that is too many games in my mind. Perhaps some baseball fan can enlighten me. I also don't care for the DH either.
That is one of the most untrue things I have EVER heard. It takes WAY MORE skill than football, basketball, or hockey. This is an argument that needs to be made in person, not typing in a forum, so I'll just leave it at that.
Alright i might give you basketball but hockey and football not but there are a lot of variables to consider on skills towards them cause in baseball you don't have to worry about 200 to 300 pound people trying to crush you all the time. I'm coming from the stand point that I play lacrosse. I would probably say that involves a lot of skills to play and after doing that I don't see baseball as an entertaining sport anymore. Isn't it like the only mainstream game without a time limit. THe games are too long kinda like NASCAR but for some reason NASCAR doesn't bother me as much I guess thats cuz there are crashes that are sometimes a spectaular thing to watch. Idk I guess I give baseball a bad rap cuz it usually is on when I want to watch the simpsons.
All sports have a different skill set, so I don't really think one is any easier than another. Football is prob more complex than most sports cause it so many rules to enforce. I have played about every sport and each one requires different parts of the body and set of skills. Even Golf, bowling and billiards takes a lots of skill and it isn't a contact sport at all. If playing sports was something we all could do well we would all be rich
Baseball takes more skill than hockey? That is the most inane thing I've ever heard anyone say. No offense.
You have to learn how to skate. You have to learn how to dribble the puck without looking at it. You have to learn how to shoot the puck in the exact place you want it to get around the goalie. You have to constantly worry about getting knocked over by other players. You have to play shift after shift only getting like a two minute break in between shifts while the other three lines are out there. This goes on for three hours.
In baseball you have to throw a ball and hit a ball. And sit down half an inning while your teammates bat.
I mean I think the 6 hardest sports to play would be football based on injury cuz you just had that bills player break his neck same goes for hockey, lacrosse i've heard of some kids dying on the field getting hit with the ball soccer in other countries shoot their players probably rugby they beat the crap out of each other and in water polo i hear there are a lot of nut shocks. But you also got things like ufc now so baseball is hard to compare the amount of energy you put into that compared to these sports
I think what someone mentioned about to many games is what hurts baseball. football for high school last 10 weeks, college 12 weeks, nfl 16 weeks then playoffs baseball they start in march and play to almost november way to long. and the games are way to long. I think if they cut down to a 100 games that would be more than enough. nascar is just as bad lenghth wise but at least they only race once a week
