Still not a sport. Anything you can fall asleep while playing is not a sport.

sounds like somebody got benched and fell asleep now they mad

5 games made up in 5 days, thanks for the East

Never played. Only skill comes in batting, except for the pitcher.

Meh, they still have to be athletic as fuck at every position except first base and maybe third where all they have to do 99% of the time is cover the base 6 feet away. Those guys have to be strong and good at hitting though.

My issue with baseball is they can be the most athletic guys out there but as far as the sport is concerned, they're athletic "just in case." Unlike every other major sport where every player on the field is engaged in every play, a lot of those guys will only see action a handful of times over a 4 hour game. Their athleticism is more useful in practice to get the coach to play them than it is in the game itself.

So youve never played yet you have such a strong opinion about it not being a sport? Sounds legit.

From someone who has played at the elite level, its a mentally exhausting sport. Have to consistently be good day in day out. Pros play 162+ games a year at a high level. Is the most individual team sport out there. Who falls asleep while playing? The outfield? Try again, they are ready for every pitch to get a good jump on the ball if its hit to them.

Just because its a non contact sport doesnt mean its not a good one. Someone who has never played like you wouldnt understand how much athleticism and brains you actually need to play the game. Im unbiased too because i played rep hockey and enjoyed both sports in different ways.

They won me 416 bucks yesterday. TYMEN
