I get why people say its boring but I love it as well. I don't follow it anymore really and if I tune in randomly I feel similarly - it seems boring. It just takes some exposure before you can appreciate it. The emergent narratives within games, series, and seasons is really special.

Baseball is the perfect sport for our modern screen in hand times. Lots of down time to interact with your phone and any non-routine play will be shown on replay if you don't look up in time.

Football works pretty well for this too. Hockey and Basketball require attention.

That's why I dislike watching football and baseball. Too much time allocated to what isn't gameplay.

What's your advice for getting into baseball? I don't get it.

If you are into video games, I feel like that is by far the easiest way to learn sports you aren't familiar with. MLB The Show and Super Mega Baseball are both great modern baseball video game series, there are plenty of classics like Ken Griffey on SNES as well.

Spend time watching baseball games with someone who loves baseball and is willing to talk to you about it.
