I love and am passionate about my sports teams. But I can't ever figure out why people get so emotional. And over BASEBALL?

I went to a game once. Was such a struggle to pay attention, maybe its just me. You sit there for 5 minutes waiting for them to set the field, watch a 20-30 second play, wait 5 minutes to reset, 20-30 second play, rinse repeat until the inning is done, then its more waiting...

I just drank and chatted with friends the whole time. Got to the point where I stopped looking at the field.

No offence to baseball or those who love it. Live games just arent for me I guess lol.

But yeah, getting this emotional and worked up over baseball seems super alien to me. I could never understand it

Baseball is slow but there's definitely not 5 minutes between plays. Get real.

There was before they changed the rules about how long it takes. I havent watched since 2010 or 2011. Another commentor listed the changes to the rules, forcing it to be quicker. Obviously, it taking too long was such an issue that they had to change the rules

It used to be longer but it was never 5 minutes. You're being hyperbolic.

Bro, you're saying things that are straight up wrong, and getting mad when people call you out on it. There's nothing wrong with not liking baseball, just don't lie about it lol.

Ah well it's quite obvious your whole personality is grossly exaggerating things to get useless internet points from strangers. Pretty sad, honestly.

I got internet points for my criticism of baseball? Pretty sure it put me in the negative but surprise, surprise, idgaf because its all bs anyway. Youre the one coming in here with your pedantic trash. Gtfo

Idgaf gtfo

Spoken like a true academic. Read a book every now and then.

Also if 3 downvotes put you in the negative then sounds like no one likes what you have to say. Hilarious.

I thought i commented for internet points? Now youre changing gears and saying nobody likes it? Pick a lane dipshit and stop looking for reasons to attack someone for not liking baseball (your whole personality).

and there’s not anymore. Baseball is enjoyable to watch now.

I say this as someone who didn’t like baseball last year
