I honestly thing that baseball is get to be the most popular sport in America again. The controversy, politics, and concussions with kill the NFL. I think baseball will stop basketball because you don't have to be 6'9 and black to be good at it. Plus baseball is really the one sport that can have a white guy, black guy, latino guy, and asian guy all on the same team. You can be an ogre like Judge, or a fucking midget like Altuve and be good at baseball

Nah, football has too much money involved (legal and illegal)

>>77643025
Baseball became my favorite for 3 reasons:

1. Outcomes are always surprising
2. No time limit
3. Stats/numbers heavy

Most sports have very limited amounts of games, are timed, and care more about field strategy than actual play stats usually. Gave most other sports a try.

honestly tho if the rockies keep falling i think we can make it

>>77643149

I've never watched it, but I always though it was like hockey but with running

>>77643161
More like a soccer/hockey hybrid. Hockey is way more fast paced.

>>77643154
I can care less about them. We need to tank since our trades got us nothing noteworthy.

>>77643154
fuck mest fans

>>77643161
>>77643170
Hockey is a lot faster because of the ice but lacrosse has high scoring because goalkeeping is somehow harder.

Still, it's more boring than both hockey (which is ok, especially live) and soccer (which is simply retarded).

>>77643171
I think the trades were made to free up playing time for their young players. Rosario looks like he'll be good. Don't know about that 1st basemen though. I think the core is pretty good in itself though. Once they get their pitching back, they'll be a good team.

Sadly, I disagree.

Kids are becoming more and more conditioned to instant gratification. Yeah, we had TV and videogames and slow as shit internet in our day, but nothing like smartphones, tablets, and an internet where a vast amount of entertainment options are a click away.

Baseball will never, ever die, at least in our. It's survived more disruptive technological innovations (pundits of the day thought Americans would give up baseball for bicycle riding and car driving), but I think the game's pace is just too slow to convert enough Gen-Zers away from "faster paced" sports to the point where baseball is number one again.

it's already the most popular sport in the world by total attendance. MLB blows out the second highest-attended league in the world by fucking miles, and that's also a baseball league. given, they have far more games than other sports, but they also have legions of dedicated fans going to those games, some of them every fucking day. the diverseness of athlete types that can participate definitely helps too, in other sports you have to be in like 98th percentile of athletic conditioning in order to even play in a lower level league (and ninny league fags think the DH is bad because a smaller proportion of them are pretty fat). in what other sport can a total lardass be a feared offensive threat? handegg meatshields don't count

I'm not sure baseball has declined since the steroid era, it's just that other sports have risen into the media spotlight since

>>77644380
i think the fact that baseball has so many games is a good sign, even - 162 games each team, and it still pulls fuckhueg attendance
very clearly, baseball at least in person is going nowhere for a very long time
even people who don't like the sport think it's a good time to head to a game and drink
of course they're the ones that end up the bandwagon tards with no idea what theyre talking about in the seat behind you

they have international tournaments that don't count as part of their league's attendance, as well as domestic tournaments that also don't count, so they play 2 games a week almost all the time, one mid-week and one on the weekend

clubs also have several 2 week breaks throughout the year where the best players have to report to their country's team. it's radically different to the way american sports are run, and you can't really compare any individual european country to the states so if you summed up the attendance from even just the top three leagues, it's already approaching baseball numbers

>>77644478
Yes but the conditions -I- deem fair say that waiting a week to watch an hour-long tie game is some profound faggot shit.

>>77644508
waiting a week to watch three hours of commercials with sweaty alphabronzed nignogs bashing into each other sprinkled over it is some profound faggot shit to be desu my dude

and it's literally only 16 (SIXTEEN) times a season. divegrass teams average over 40 games per season depending on how far they get in their elimination tournaments

>muh 0-0 tie

barca and real just played a nice 3-1 where fagnaldo lasered a shot into the top right and then immediately got red carded for diving like a total faggot on the next play, in addition to other drama. football is right behind baseball in terms of patrician-ness

fair enough, and soccer can indeed be extremely boring to watch on occasion, but so can baseball. if you're invested in the outcome as a fan of the sport though, then the whining of casual plebs doesn't mean much

although a 0-0 tie into the ninth can be extremely thrilling for a baseball fan, whereas a 0-0 soccer tie is usually a drag for everyone unless it was really contentious

>>77644564
I was more surprised at the frequency of the games and you went off on some Alex Jones rant about Incan pyramids
Simply seemed like they would play more games is all

Dude.... The Street Fighter EVO final got more viewers than Yankees Red Sox and they were aired at the same time. The DOTA 2 champs just took home 24 million dollars last weekend. You can't deny the rise of eSports popularity. The only thing to question is if it will last long.

Judge couldn't catch that extremely catchable HR ball? It's only a HR in the disgusting meme park lol

>>77645532
I've been meaning to ask for a while now why field dimensions aren't standardized across all parks?

Considering fence height and distance directly affect the ability to hit home runs and home runs directly affect the game, how is it that some parks are easier to hit home runs in than others?

Rays vs. Marlins world series

>>77645457
>The only thing to question is if it will last long.
No, there is something else to ask. Are eSports sports?

The answer is no.

>muh views

Lady Gaga concerts are also not sports in case you are wondering. Neither are Game of Thrones episodes.

>>77645562
Because they don't necessarily give the home team an advantage. The visiting team can hit those same easy home runs.

>>77645562
How? Everything from location of the park to the length and height of the walls determines what kind of hits do or don't happen.

>>77645609
Yeah. But the home team has the option of building their team specifically to suit their park. That's one of the reasons that the red Sox took 86 years in between series wins. They couldn't win on the road in the playoffs.

>>77645634
>That's one of the reasons that the red Sox took 86 years in between series wins.
Well then that's their own fault isn't it. The "problem" solves itself.

>>77645647
But it gives the home team an unfair advantage.

>Detoilet most prominent fan, Jack White, so embarrassed by Tiggers he won't even wear a team hat

Sad.

>>77645664
>unfair
Perspective.

>advantage
Maybe, but that vanishes when they are on the road like in the Boston example.

The Rox could build their team to compete in those massive NL West parks but that would be their choice.

Leave the variety alone, it's awesome and adds to the game.

>throwing parades for illegitimate home runs

>>77645689
I agree about not having standard dimensions. It adds to the flavor of the game. It does cheapen certain personal achievements though. Inflated BA for right handed hitters in Boston or inflated HR stats in NY and Baltimore. Skewed pitching stats in LA, etc.

>>77645734
there's so many factors that skew stats though. ballpark factors are constant and relatively easy to adjust for.

>>77645734
Agreed, but there's enough stats discussion in baseball to account for stuff like that.

162 games in ballparks of identical dimensions would be a depressing downgrade from today's game.

>>77645801
Wrong. I don't even know why you post here if you're going to be an idiot. Ballpark factors are almost impossible to take into account, and they greatly inflate a players stats and ego.
