We start watching the games an hour in and usually catch up with live action around the middle of the 8th inning or so. FF through all the commercials.
Please accept my condolences.
Three Yankee errors in the fifth inning essentially gifted the Dodgers with three extra outs, which they took full advantage of, taking the score from 5-0 to 5-5. As A-Rod, Big Papi, and Cappy (Derek Jeter) remarked later, NY's disastrous defensive inning was an all but fatal blow to the Yankees' hopes of forcing a game 6.
You found last night's game boring?
Yes. Some real boneheaded mistakes Like the pitcher not covering first base when the first baseman has to leave to get the ball. Catcher interference with a batter? What a goof. And the Dodgers capitalized on mistakes as a championship team should do.
Was my comment not clear? BB players spend way too much time, scratching their rears, tapping dirt of their shoes, removing their hats, etc. etc. I loved playing the game, played all the way through college, but it is boring to watch! Especially at the professional level.
Have you watched games recently? They're considerably quicker with the advent of pitch clocks, players or pitchers being unable to call time between each pitch, and players being awarded the next base the third time the pitcher unsuccessfully attempts to throw out a steal.
Yes! That's why I commented.
My condolences, and I mean that sincerely. We've all suffered when our beloved teams have done poorly.
