Who Is Watching Really? - Page 3

Mahomie · 10-07-2021, 11:01 PM

It gets busy this time of year. I like it.

BabaORiley · 10-07-2021, 11:16 PM

C'mon Rev... That's a clown question, bro!

All seriousness, I can't imagine NOT watching October/November baseball. If we were stuck with a Cardinals-Yankees WS, I'd probably pay much less attention, but I'd still pay attention.

rman112 · 10-07-2021, 11:19 PM

Only watched about 20 min combined today. Gotta have some better games.

rman112 · 10-07-2021, 11:30 PM

Giants/Dodgers is really the one I'm looking forward to. He's far from a household name, but Logan Webb can be FILTHY.

The investor/fantasy/speculator/flipper/grader/pimper side of me stopped paying attention to baseball cards several months ago - I really think a prolonged lockout is going to hurt the investor side of the sport so I stopped buying anymore baseball wax starting in July.

The fan/ spectator side of me is closely watching the playoffs, and I find it is much more enjoyable when the player’s performance has absolutely no link to card values - I’m just enjoying baseball the sport.

rwperu34 · 10-07-2021, 11:41 PM

I watched more than 9 innings of baseball today. Hadn't been watching much lately due to not having time.

It would be great to see the uglier side of the hobby completely crash.

The more I separate my self from that side of it, the more I enjoy the game.

I am watching, really. Arozarena and Franco are already bringing the fireworks.

Archangel1775 · 10-08-2021, 12:40 AM

There is a level of excitement that comes from the playoffs. Anything can happen in any game by any player.

ATL is just another good team without Acuna to draw people to watching. LA/Astros? No thanks! I will be focused more on preseason basketball and football. Good luck to the teams that are in the playoffs.

Whike ill give Ohtani credit for pitching and hitting at a elite level I'm kind of lost on what you're reffering too here? Nether broke any type of records this year and Ohtani was never even close to being on the playoff hunt.

Oh yes! It's called sportsbetting.

I’m the opposite. I kept an eye on box scores and stat leaders, but will watch a lot more games now that they count.

Raleigh504 · 10-08-2021, 06:23 AM

Regular season:
MLB - I try to watch or keep up with my Indians, will watch random games during work if I am able to.
NFL - Browns/Panthers if they are doing good or unless I have guys on my fantasy team playing
NBA - Could care less with it, besides poor play, I like to keep politics out of sports.... NFL has done a better job with it. Plus there are only super teams and they all complain if they don't have 8 superstars on the roster while refusing to play for the millions they signed for.

Post season:
MLB - If Indians are in it then I watch all their games, if not then I will watch what I can and keep up with the highlights on Youtube the next day.
NFL - Browns/Panthers only until the Super Bowl
NBA - Again, poor play (no defense) and entitled athletes turns me off from watching it.

crownand · 10-08-2021, 06:27 AM

It's Arozerana season! Nelson Cruz is always great too.

Also watching Robert and Yordan.

With Ohtani (and Trout for half of most seasons) most people don't get to see the best stories in baseball because they play in baseball Siberia.

But, yes, I'm a baseball fan so I will watch the playoffs. Even if/when the Red Sox are eliminated.

hammertime · 10-08-2021, 08:19 AM

If Randy stealing home doesn't rustle your jimmies I don't know what possibly could.

Bcwcardz · 10-08-2021, 09:43 AM

I’m watching. I like baseball not just baseball cards and hobby stars. I really don’t care about football or basketball until the playoffs. The regular seasons for those sports are kind of boring to me. I watch but not intently.

What a dud. The Yankees were mercifully put out of their misery.

Now the NL Wildcard game, that's playoff baseball!

the36chamber · 10-08-2021, 09:37 PM

Anybody still watching or was I the only one that saw that great double play.

And today. Some really good baseball today.

BostonNut · 10-08-2021, 09:40 PM

I would watch Raffy Devers watch paint dry. That kid is baseball.
