The Indians and Yankees had an incredible game last night go 13 innings. You should watch more.

Another reason baseball gets a bad rep I think is the length
162 games, not counting playoffs, is a lot compared to the average football fan who only has to focus on 16 games a year

Except that because of it, during the season, you can almost always tune in to see your home team every day if you need something to do
Gotta agree with Tom here, the length of baseball is not a positive, there's no stakes to an individual game, who cares if you win or lose when it's 1 game of 162. Obviously it's not the same in the playoffs.
A game in March may not seem to matter, but when it's September and the Wild Card spot is between like, 9 teams in one league, and the second best team in a division is a few games behind the other (AL Wild Card and Red Sox/Yanks), those individual games really fuckin matter. A game in March is just as important as one in September.
It's also just fun to see how your team plays and how they're working together.
Apparently beat Tom Brady and the Pats.

13 innings of baseball...holy fuck I'd kill myself.
You couldn't pay me to watch that boring ass "sport"
That one game was more exciting than any of Miami Dolphins' football since Marino retired.

Future Giant Saquon Barkley has 8 carries for -1 yard against Northwestern so far
Still think he should win the Heisman tho
Each season you can basically guarantee what teams will play in the finals. Can't do that in anywhere else.
Look at the patriots this season. Everyone had them destroying the NFL and they're shit.

Baseball being the best sport isn't banter, it's facts.

Soccer is the best sport tbh
Soccer played at it's highest level is absolutely the best sport. Nothing in basketball touches that.
Even more so at an international level. I'd rather watch a Chile vs Argentina World Cup Qualifier then a finals game easy
On that vote let's pray for our friend Dutch this international break weekend
ok this hot take is too much

Yeah I'll watch international soccer and I'm not huge on soccer but those are some great matches.

One of those was in the 16th inning, yeah that's like 2 in the morning
the bottom one was a prank by the Texas dugout after Beltre got a homerun

Ive always been, little flerpy
I think Tom hit it for me when he mentioned the season length. It's just too much to keep me engaged. If a team wins or loses, there is just so many variables that it could be meaningless. Even compared to the 82 games in basketball, A loss means something. Sure, it could add up in the end, but there's no way of knowing until the middle of September. I'll watch the postseason and probably have fun doing it, but you'll never get me into baseball full time. It's too much waiting despite things happening.

The numbers he was putting up sometimes were so ridiculous. If he couldve brought that regular season offense to the playoffs more often hed be the undeniable GOAT.
