Is there a thread for the NLCS

 

[Super Cheech]

Damn. Didn’t expect this for the LCS.
Astros bullpen getting taxed today.

I don't know how much I'm gonna watch if these games keep taking an eternity. Nine inning games should not be four-plus hours.

Red Sox games + a guy who takes forever = this


That's why when the Yankees and Red Sox play, we just accept that the game won't end til 12.

They gotta do something about the pace of play. It's not a good product right now. A Lakers/Warriors game isn't gonna last four hours just because of how they play.

Pitcher/batter clocks need to be enforced. Way too much of this shyt going on:

I'm also sick of how games are directed at the broadcast level. Between every pitch, they're cutting around to 3-5 different people. It's distracting and takes me out of what's going on. It's impossible to focus on anything.

*pitch thrown*

*close up on hitter*

*close up on one of the managers*

*close up on the other manager*

*shot of the bullpen*

*shot of a random fan*

*back to the pitcher*

Almost every pitch is like that.

Just leave it on the pitcher and batter.

I mean, I feel like that moment justifies the amount of time. It's the playoffs, the bases are loaded. It adds to the tension a little. Any other moment and I would probably agree.

Exactly... this is playoff baseball, every inch matters.

Now in July between two bad teams, move it along.

It's not just one moment though. Damn near every time there's a runner on base, the pace slows to a crawl. It's ridiculous.

"Speed slows the game down" This old announcer said that during a Baseball game I watched years ago and it stuck with me and is still true till this day
