Anyone else think the MLB has turned into a trash league and is boring?

Fishhead · 03-29-19, 06:50 AM

Even though the NHL is not as good as pre-2000...................it still is far and away the best sport of the BIG FOUR

Big Bear · 03-29-19, 06:54 AM

1. NFL
2. NCAA Football
3. PGA Golf
4. UFC
5. NCAA Basketball

You can add NBA too. I couldn't watch more than a few games this year.

unde0087 · 03-29-19, 06:59 AM

No, apparently you got buried opening day. If you think the Nfl is the best league you have fukin problems. Nfl easily the dumbest shit product there is right beside the Nba. Mlb opening day was awesome and i cant wait to get to Citifield next week for Mets opening day.

Well you are correct about the NFL but college football makes you wait til playoffs to see 2 good teams face off

no point in watching Alabama’s cupcake regular season schedule

Hman · 03-29-19, 07:05 AM

Would almost rather watch soccer than MLB.

But everyone has their preference.

unde0087 · 03-29-19, 07:05 AM

Baseball is the best game there is bar none. It is America's game. Go watch the Sandlot and you will remember.

Forgot about soccer

I like soccer except for gay ass tie games

Golden fleece · 03-29-19, 07:10 AM

the salary cap situation makes the game terrible these days

small market teams at such a disadvantage

NFL and NBA much better for avg fan

Sam Odom · 03-29-19, 07:11 AM

you need to disappear again with bullshit posts like this one

clockwise1965 · 03-29-19, 07:15 AM

The games pace of play is just too slow.

Agree, might be bias as by far NHL has been my sport year over year profit wise.

Disagree that mlb is boring. Yes at times it can be, especially a tight game. Always some nice nostalgia though when you bet big on a team and then get to watch them for cheap, $20 or less in action.

I like the rush of gambling.

From a fan perspective sports kind of suck a fat dikk

Chi_archie · 03-29-19, 10:17 AM

you aren't supposed to watch it.. you gamble on it and check the scores

and go to the games during the day in the week on nice days and skip out on work to drink and look at your social media feeds

Dodgers bats were on fire yesterday and hit 8 home runs.. A few other teams lit it up too.. Not that boring when dinger and dinger are hit..

MLB's Opening Day was a home-run frenzy

New York Post•March 29, 2019

MLB's Opening Day was a home-run frenzy

Fans who love the longball got their fill on MLB Opening Day. Spurred by a franchise-record eight homers by the Dodgers alone, baseball saw players go deep 48 times to open the season. Among those who mashed their way onto the early-season highlight reel were Yankees Luke Voit and Greg Bird, as well as Robinson Cano in his Mets debut. The Cardinals and Brewers combined for six in their ice breaker — the total could have been higher if not for Lorenzo Cain's game-saving robbery for Milwaukee — with two from Kolten Wong, who was joined by the Cubs' Javier Baez, the Dodgers' Enrique Hernandez and Joc Pederson, and Seattle's Tim Beckham as players who swatted a pair of homers. Etc....

Can’t watch it without money on a game until the Playoffs. I don’t really have a team though. Think it’s great to watch when you’re gambling on it. Makes any game exciting until you’re down 6 runs going into the 8th.

I agree, I can't watch even with money on it.. I bet it like crazy all year long too. I never watch a game.. Just the highlights.. Baseball is to slow for my liking..

I use to go to games all the time, I might go to a Dodger game or two this year.. I do like going with friends and watching the live games and loading up. That's a good time when you win.

Louisvillekid1 · 03-29-19, 10:47 AM

I love watching baseball until about June , then mostly scores and just Phillies , back to it September

postseason baseball is the best playoff of any sport

MinnesotaFats · 03-29-19, 10:55 AM

The league using money ball management leeps ot relevant but the money, the contracts, the ticket costs, etc are a disconnect w fans.

Next cba will make or break mlb...players might kill the golden goose.

Louisvillekid1 · 03-29-19, 11:05 AM

Heard several guys say the strike is almost a definite

teecee · 03-29-19, 11:17 AM

Loved watching the Braves pitching staff in the 90's on TBS. Cubs were cool too, watching on WGN. Haven't gotten into it too much lately. Just busy, I guess.

JIBBBY · 03-29-19, 11:19 AM

Post season I'll tune in a bit for sure..

shadymcgrady · 03-29-19, 11:27 AM

the only man on the forum that has never said something that did not make sense

ever

I hardly ever watch a game that I have a wager on, avoid the stress

likewise to the man above me

cincinnatikid513 · 03-29-19, 12:35 PM

homerun or strikeout so boring

RudyRuetigger · 03-29-19, 12:40 PM

Mlb product hasn’t changed rules that fundamentally took the game to shit like the NFL or NBA. Yes some things have changed, analytics has hurt in a way. I don’t like how acceptable strikeouts have become and the devaluing of situational hitting is a problem imo. But wtf does “boring star players” mean? Cause it not a soap opera? Maybe you should watch wrestling! Real fans of sport don’t care about the social media gossip garbage and endless trade rumors!

I get some ppl think baseball is boring but then you go and rank golf and ufc ahead of it which the most boring shit possible! Golf is great for naps but not exactly exciting, and ufc? Nothing more exciting than watching couple half naked dudes dry hump huh?

Tired of seeing ppl complain and talk shit about baseball, if you don’t like it then so what, don’t watch. Never half empty stadiums here in stl. Pretty sure dodgers draw 3 million plus every season (almost 4 mil last year!), their park only half empty in 1st couple innings cause the LA crowd always late. Lad averaged 47k per game last year! Half the league drew more than 30k per game so far from half empty.

Far as “teams are shit”, that couldn’t be further from the truth and is mostly a narrative that clown agent boras pushes whenever his overrated aging clients don’t get redic deals. In the NL there really only 2 teams that are “shit” the marlins and maybe zona, dbags should get the benefit of the doubt since we don’t know how their rebuild will look as of yet., Yes the AL is down but it not as drastic as it made out to be it just incredibly top heavy right now.
