6/6

I know it's probably still too early to say, but the guy won his first game against Panama 2-0, but he lost his second game against Mexico 2-0, and my dad already wants Berhalter back😂 I haven't read comments from fans, but Panama's coach was critical of him saying he sees no difference in strategy or style of play. Aside from a couple players, he's starting the same group of guys. My dad has his doubts about him, because he says no one's ever heard of the guy before, though he said he said some successes with Paris Sainte Germain, but nothing sensational.

I'll probably reask this question after seeing him coach a few more matches, but based off what you've seen so far, would you say he's a keeper?

⚾ has been RIGHTLY criticized for being BORING for the reasons below. Is there any way to make it more engaging?

Pace. There is no clock in baseball, for teams and players to race against.

Action stoppages. Baseball has many gaps in action, even beyond the inaction between every out or successful base hit.

Game intricacies. Too much knowledge needed about history and fine details that announcers talk about.

Less violence. Among the major team sports, baseball has less body-to-body contact, which thanks to the television viewers have become accustomed to receiving.

Unfavorable television portrayal. The baseball field and game are not well-suited for TV. Most action comes from pitcher to batter, so the main view comes from centerfield. Then it jumps from angle to angle, with a lot of stops. The other sports have perfect rectangles for the tube.

Over-emphasized home runs. To compete with fast-scoring sports, as well as for television viewers, HRs instead of contact leads to a lot of strikeouts and standing around.

Low scoring. Broadly, scoring in baseball is low, probably behind both soccer and hockey in that realm. Modern audiences like to see scoring often.

Celebration scarcity. Baseball players and teams just don’t celebrate like those in other major team sports. Maybe it’s just part of the sport’s tradition, maybe it’s an unspoken word among players, but a little more hootin’ and hollerin’ could make fans more excited.

Lengthy games. Baseball contests are just too long, mainly in terms of time. Pro games have stretched from 2 hours in the 1960s to 3- and even 4-hour affairs today.

Overly cerebral. Attention spans went from 3 hours with the Lincoln-Douglas debates in 1860 to 22 minutes with television, then 7 minutes with the internet, and down to a few seconds with social media and smartphones. Baseball is called a “thinking man’s game" perhaps not fit for modern audiences.
