Why do people find baseball so boring?

It's the same thing everytime. It's always a fast pitch that they pitch to the outside or the inside or straight down the plate. Sometimes they curve it from the inside to the outside or the outside to the inside OR they use sliders instead of straightfast & curved fast balls.

They only use slow balls when they are throwing balls or want the batter to hit it.

Because watching men stand in a feild scratching there balls, hocking lugies, an chewing Tobacco isn't fun, or exciting to watch over a 2 hour period.THEDJXL

A baseball game takes longer than 2 hours. Just more proof that people judge sports before they know anything about them. I don't call soccer gay or "boring," because I don't know anything about it.

Ever heard of a change-up? Knuckeball? Screwball? Curve? Tim Wakefield has made a career for himself throwing under 80 mph.

You're a joke, man. At least educate yourself on the game of baseball before you argue about it.

Because the alternativesare ice hockey and basketball

Baseball is too slow paced for me. That's what makes it boring. Whenever I go to my local AAA team's games (Durham Bulls), I usually start day dreaming in the third inning, wake up in the 5th, get some fries, go back and eat them, then day dream again to the end of the game.

Most people find it boring because its basically the same thing. Pitcher takes about 30 seconds to throw a ball, ball 1. 30 seconds, ball 2. 30 seconds, foul. 30 seconds, strike. 30 seconds, batter hits it to third-base man, batter out.

Hockey will rule over any sport :D

Football (Soccer) > Baseball.

Why is it called Football in America when it is primarily played with hands, whereas Soccer is almost exclusively played with feet (bar throw in's and Goalkeepers)?
