What's scary for the future of the game is that only 5 million people watched, and it's considered great. I don't think anyone under 35 has the patience to sit through a baseball game anymore.

I’m 34. Next year that may be true


And I would bet that most of your peers aren't watching full baseball games either. It's just not resonating. Kids will watch highlights, but not hours long games or even movies.

I think you’re off by about 5 years. I think my peers still are, at least those who were always fans. My brother is 9 years younger and it’s like we grew up decades apart with how we consume sports.

I will stay on the edge of my seat during a playoff game. I am not watching a regular season game unless it's the bottom half of an important game.

I’ll rewatch this game a million times. It was great start to finish.

Fuck Hendriks though.

You should take up weed. Goes great with watching a ball game even in the dog days

The relatively low stakes of a single game in a 162 game season is one of the attractive things about watching baseball on a hot summer night with a nice cold beverage.

Eh, he’s not throwing 103. The off speed stuff has been more effective lately but last year he was almost automatic.

I could’ve done without Costner wandering around the field for 2min like a dementia patient before the players show up, but once they did, it was worth it.


It was done for dramatic effect to create suspense.

Why complain about anything in that game? It's already legend.

Agree, but it means nothing if they lose in the 10th or 11th

If Hendricks hadn't totally wasted 3 pitches, maybe he'd of had a chance.

He's broken. Hopefully he can be fixed before the playoffs.

Kopech has to be the closer, no?

Beats me, man. We're in a bit of a pickle. Kopech is logical but he's wet behind the ears. NO ONE out there in the pen seems to have command of the easiest pitch there is, the fastball.

Idk, Hendriks seems to have a good feel for getting the FB over the plate.

Pinch hitting Zavala for Collins seems like the nail in the coffin for Collins once Grandal is back.
