Conference games on ESPN+
Non-Conference on UConn+.
Im replying to my own post, but something is wrong with baseball when I am watching the Red Sox walk 5 guys in the 9th inning against the Braves. It's apparently through baseball that this is occuring. It's a shame that guys are making it to the majors just based on how hard they can throw the ball. Are hitters just so much better these days that pitchers are trying to be too perfect and throw so hard? I just don't get it.Why is it that watching some of these games is like watching my kid in his first year of kid pitch. I just can't believe all the walks.
Baseball became so boring that the suits decided to do anything to increase scoring: lower the mound, add the designated hitter, shrink the strike zone. What’s next? A free pass to second base on a walk. Oh…..excuse me, they begin the tenth inning on second now, Perhaps each team should start extra innings with a grand slam.Im replying to my own post, but something is wrong with baseball when I am watching the Red Sox walk 5 guys in the 9th inning against the Braves.

At least that rule isn’t in effect in the playoffs and World Series. (I’m talking MLB here)I especially can't stand the thing in extra innings with runners being at 2B at the start of the inning.
