Baseball can be boring. We all know this, though admitting it can feel like heresy. But watching two bad teams (I offer you an upcoming Orioles/Mariners game), playing for nothing while an uninteresting player, say, spit-balling here, Ryan Court, is in the middle of an eight-pitch at bat against a similarly uninteresting reliever feels like an unnecessary use of time. Baseball is supposed to be an entertainment product, and there are a lot of other entertainment products that do not feature Ryan Court (apologies to Ryan Court) or the Orioles (apologies to Ryan Court).
