I'm glad I live 1400 miles from Fenway because if I lived in Boston, I might be tempted to buy a ticket to watch the hometown nine. I'd sit through the first eight innings, about 240 minutes of my ever-passing life, waiting, watching, hoping for a Saux player to actually swing at a pitch. And by the ninth inning I'd likely be climbing the stairs that lead to the Monsta seats, where I'd hurl my body off the top of the wall onto the lush manicured grass. That way, I'd get an up close view of grassing growing...which is far more interesting than watching these Saux batters take pitches.
Watching their batters the other night take called third strikes back to back in the ninth inning to end the game, not with a bang but a whimper, was hair pulling insanity.
As a casual fan that is good for maybe 4 innings of viewing each night, all I can say is this style of baseball is insufferable for the viewer. Right now the "walk" is their plan A which says more about the current state of the Saux than anything else. Just my two bits...but with so many players slumping, let them swing at the best pitch = the first pitch= grooved down the middle to most every Saux player because they are forbidden to swing at them.
SWING!!!!....for the love of Christ....SWING!!!!!
Rant over....thanks for the space
