Is baseball exciting?(poll)

Now, i have tried to watch baseball, but for the life of me i cant figure out HOW people can find it exciting, too me it seems they stand around FOREVER and then when smoething does happen, its a foul ball, or an easy out!

Prove me wrong?, is there something im missing!

Well I'm sure its more exciting if you're at the actual game and cheering with people when stuff happens.

It's just a nice chill game to watch. I enjoy watching baseball when I have time. I guess it's something you have to grow into.

I cannot sit through a baseball game. I find it pretty boring.

I find it exciting. I love baseball. I grew up with baseball, so it has always been something I liked. I love how the pitchers set up a count (the good ones at least) and then just throw absolute filth to strike out a hitter. I also love seeing a hitter turn on a mistake pitch and crush it into the stands. Baseball is extremely interesting for me, but I know a lot of people find it boring. I also love keeping track of players' stats and such.

It's not for everyone and it's all a matter of opinion. I love it and I think it's more exciting than other sports out there (except Futbol and Basketball, they're just as exciting)

I think it is very exciting, especially when you have close games.

Believe it or not, but it definitely gets intense(especially if great teams or players are on). The playoffs are pretty damn intense. I remember watching the mets-cards playoff series from a few years ago. That was an amazing series.

I like to play it on a hot summer day with friends, but it is never a sport I would consider playing in a league or watching. Watching the highlights and seeing good hits and catches is good though.

Fun to play, but a little too slow paced to watch IMO. Games can still be very exciting if the players are good and there is some element of suspense, though.

The only sport I can watch on tv is soccer. Oh, and hockey. Other than that, I have to actually be at the game to find it exciting.

Almost as exciting as watching golf.freshwb

No. no it's not.

[QUOTE="freshwb"]Almost as exciting as watching golf.leonard88

I think I prefer golf and baseball over Nascar. I can watch people drive around an oval only so many times before falling asleep.

[QUOTE="freshwb"]Almost as exciting as watching golf.leonard88

There needs to be a "rarely" choice.

I love baseball. It's just so tense to watch, because the whole game can change with one swing of the bat.

Nascar, is left...left...left...another left..

When the Dodgers are playing, yes. :)

I find it boring but I rather watch baseball then Nascar and Golf.

baseball has its times. you just have to be patient.

I go to college baseball games to hang out and stuff but that is mostly because they are free for students. I don't think that I would ever any significant amount of money to go to one and watching it is way to boring to watch on tv.

I think it's very exciting to attend a game and to read about but not too exciting to watch. Despite that, I still somehow find the whole atmosphere of baseball with all its specific sights and sounds to be oddly compelling. I've just never been much of a fan of any teams so I've never really gotten into keeping track of who is doing what.

13-0 at home! :D

I find it boring.

It's not exciting, but it is interesting. It's a thinking man's game.The_Versatile

Any sport with extended downtime between spurts of action is pretty damn dull to watch or play.DJ_Lae

**Bleep** no. It's about as exciting as bowling, or darts, or golf, or pool. Any sport with extended downtime between spurts of action is pretty damn dull to watch or play.DJ_Lae

I would rather watch any of the sports you mentioned than base ball. Except maybe bowling.

[QUOTE="The_Versatile"][QUOTE="DJ_Lae"] Now, I'm not the biggest fan of baseball in the first place, but how is it a thinking game? Something like football has a much larger element of strategy, and even there it's a bit suspect.guynamedbilly

Not to mention it's all about situations too and what to do when they come up. Batter has a 3-1 count, does he take the pitch that might be ball 4 or should he swing away? Speedy runner on first, do you keep holding him on throwing over to first or just ignore and pitch away? There are many other situations that require a lot of thinking.
