Do you think Baseball is boring?

"Don't you just try to hit the ball every time and they try to catch it"
Well.. don't basketball teams try to put the ball in the hoop and the other team tries to stop it?
Don't soccer teams try to put the ball in the other goal and the other team tries to stop it?

There are a lot of different approaches a bat can take in any given plate appearance.

They can try to work the count to draw a walk and/or make the opposing pitcher use a lot of pitches and tire himself.
They can try to go opposite field.
They can bunt.
They can squeze bunt.
They can drag bunt.
They can go for a ground out to move the runner up.
They can go for a sac fly to score somebody from 3rd.
They can hit and run.
They can swing for the fences.
They can just try to make contact.

Defensively.
You can play your infield in.
You can play your infield deep.
You can move your outfield in.
You can move your outfield out.
You can guard the lines.
You can shift your fielders to improve coverage on a certain side of the field.
You can pitch out.
You can intentionally walk.
You can try a pick off.

And yes, there is indeed a lot of teamwork in baseball. In fact, I'd say the pitcher-catcher relationship is the most important teamwork in any sport.

Forget Kobe with 40 seconds. Give me bottom of the ninth, 2 outs 3-2 count in a tie game in game seven of the world series..

And FYI there are more celebrities that show up at baseball games than basketball.

Not at all. Baseball is a thinking persons game. There is always something going on. Every pitch is an adventure. Not boring at all.

No because its a thinking game. The mental aspect of it is what makes it amazing. There is so much going on the baseball field with the players that the spectators do not see. For example, the pitcher is thinking of what pitch to throw and the batter is trying to know what pitch is going to be thrown at him. You can compare it to chess I guess. Its more about out thinking your opponent.

It's boring.

"Give me bottom of the ninth, 2 outs 3-2 count in a tie game in game seven of the world series.. " this guy said. Sounds very complicated right? But when you watch it, there's a lot of waiting, a lot of nothing actually. Till one guy hit the ball. And after that, there'll be a a lot of nothing again.

'World series'? How many country is in that 'world series'? USA? You shouldn't call it the 'world series' when most of the world aren't interested in playing it.

In football (the original), and basketball, you get a lot of action, and demonstration of skills and teamwork, before they finally score. In baseball, you get a lot of nothing, before someone hits the ball.

"Infield in infield out" whatever fancy terms they're calling it, football and basketball have that too, 'playing deep, diamond midfield, overlaying full backs, tiki-taka' .It's just the spectators don't need to focus so much on those terms, because the action on display is exciting enough. You know the sport is good when you don't need to learn about a lot of stats & terms to sort of 'enjoy' it.

That is why you don't see cheerleaders at a football game. Because the game itself is exciting.

No. My honest opinion with no offense at all intended is that if you think baseball is boring it's because you don't have the patience to understand and appreciate it.

God NO!, baseball is really fun and interesting when you're into it Some teens including myself and mostly old people really enjoy.

Some people find it boring, and they're entitled to their own opinions. I love the sport, and if you go to a game where the stadium is packed, like the Yankees, Red Sox, Phillies, etc. where there are very few empty seats, you can feel the energy from the crowd and it won't be as boring.

Oh absolutely my man! I love baseball. I've loved it sine I was little, but let's be honest, it IS boring sometimes. Unless its just an awesome game, I have a hard time sitting through an ENTIRE baseball game. Some games are just so... uneventful. Another reason why baseball gets pretty dry at times is because the amount of games played. We don't get bored of football because there's only 17 weeks of it. Ya know? The people who think baseball is boring in general are the ones who don't understand the game. That's all.

YES, im a baseball fan, but there are certain games, especially if your at a game and its sunny and warm and the game is crawling along(3rd innning after an hour and half) where id rather just leave but usually i stick it out cause of the ticket prices and just find a shady cool walkway to feel the breeze.

Yes this is all baseball is hitting a tiny ball and standing on bases looking like your waiting for a bus and on defense all your doing literally is catching a ball if it comes to you (Key word if)
