I know the "ESPN hates my team/sport" circlejerk is common amongst fans of all sports, but I don't think I've ever seen someone complain that they spend too much time on baseball before.

Didn't your mother teach you? If you don't have anything nice to say, no one give a fucking fuck. Keep your lame ass negativity to yourself.
This is the golden rule, right?

Baseball's a joke to kids like him because they don't have the attention span to enjoy it.
Also, that was a terrible bunt attempt.

Baseball is the best sport in the world. Earl Weaver said it best
"You can't sit on a lead and run a few plays into the line and just kill the clock. You've got to throw the ball over the damn plate and give the other man his chance. That's why baseball is the greatest game of them all."

And no other sport has such a "game within the game" aspect. Maybe shootouts in in hockey or soccer, but those are a small part of those sports.

I also like how dismissive people are, you try to hit a ball coming at you at 70+ mph with a stick. Then try running, catching and throwing with precision.

That's not the point. The point is that there is no reason to be negative just to be negative. If you don't like something, that's fine. But nothing good comes from going off about how much what you don't like sucks.
Give this man a job at the bureau of propaganda and censorship. He gets it. If something sucks shh.. don't mention it.
