Unfortunately in our activity driven society where the senses are constantly stimulated, the pace of baseball is woefully slow compared to the other major sports.

Most folks don't appreciate a great pitching duel that may lead to a 1-0 game.

MLB sold out a while back in trying to focus on the long-ball.

Baseball was more interesting to me when I scored games. You would buy a program that came with a sharpened #2 pencil. Near the back of the program was a blank scorecard that you filled out as the game progressed. Every single pitch forced you to record the outcome of it. So it made you pay attention to the game and subsequently, you got drawn into the intricacies of what was going on on the field.

Used to be you saw many people at the game "keeping score". Almost always men but a few women as well.

Now it seems to be a lost art.

The Yankees hit four home runs in a game last week. They won the game by a 4-3 score.

I don't know what sport these guys are playing, but it sure ain't baseball. I'm trying to figure out if its batting practice, the Home Run Derby, or batting practice for the Home Run Derby.

I wish the electronic strike zone box that appears as the batter steps up would disappear. I want to see th ball, the catcher and the umpire and the batter. No cgi.

Jack Flaherty just beat the Giants 1-0 in 2:11. He went 8 giving only one hit and Carlos Martinez also only gave up one hit in the 9th. Yaz’s grandson got both hits.

Ozuna hit a solo for the only run. Cards had 5 hits.

And I'm one of them...BORING...I'd rather see a score of 20-19 even tho the game would take longer...I don't want to see people strike out...I want to see 'em hit the ball...

Even back then, a 1-0 pitchers’ duel went by really fast—many of them ended in around 2 hours 30 minutes, very fast by 2019 standards.
