The fundamental problem with baseball is the tv and the announcers shy away from the "INSIDE" story,,, the color commentaries shy away from rivals and fights,,, and when it does happen they cut away and go to commercial,,, MLB needs to let the public know,, well the RUMOR is this pitcher caught the batter banging his sister and got her pregnant,, nwo thats some shit that would be fkn entertaining,, lol,, I would throw a ball at a batters head too,

Why do outfielders decoy like they are going to catch the ball, that is the most obvious time that they aren't going to catch it. also, what is with the around the horn bullshit.

The umpires attitudes are atrocious.
In no other sport do you see it more then baseball.

batters steppin out after every pitch

yeah always stepping out of the box and adjusting the velcro strap on their gloves. You'd think in this day and age somebody could develop a glove that stays tight and doesnt even use velcro.

I dont know why this bothers me but watching these guys constantly adjusting their gloves drives me batty.

It bothers me when the batter adjusts everything, takes 3 steps into the box, takes a pitch, then has to step out and adjust everything all over again. It is clearly just a ritual/comfort thing. They need to get the guys back in the box and keep things moving

pitchers who stand on the mound 30+ seconds before finally throwing a pitch

and has mentioned, batters delaying the game with some weird routine after every pitch

1) managers wearing uniforms is nothing short of a 60-year old man putting on a halloween costume each night. Can you imagine Mike Tomlin walking out with his eye-black on, carrying a helmet, and wearing skin-tight yellow capri pants with thigh pads? embarrassing

2) lack of pitch clock. a simple 20-30 second pitch clock would bring me back to watching baseball. and hitters are equally responsible for this. i'd rather watch glue go uphill than big poppy adjusting his batting gloves 4x after each pitch.
