Baseball is the most strategic sport out there. It's the only team sport I know of that isn't based 100% on pure physical strength. A pitcher that throws hard will do well, but it's more important to be able to locate the ball so that the opposing hitter can't hit it. Plus, the pitcher/batter mind game far outweighs any other "tension" from another sport.
Exactly my point. I don't watch sport just for the strategy... I watch it mostly for the display of skill and am entertained by action/activity. A little league baseball coach has to be strategic a lot more than a major league coach, but I don't see to many people watching little league games.
Baseball requires minimal exertion, and offers little in the form of action/activity. There's more 'waiting' in baseball than there is in playing.
If you watch a baseball game, you can't honestly tell me you don't feel any tension at all when Miguel Cabrera is up to bat with runners on second and third, two outs. He could potentially blow the game wide open with a home run, or if the pitcher outsmarts him, he could limit the damage.
Even if I knew who Miguel Cabrera was, I doubt I would feel any tension.
You can't tell me that seeing Gus Hansen flop a straight when his opponent has a nut flush draw doesn't fill you with tension. Does he continue his pre-flop betting, and put some coins in? What if he gets re-raised? Does he re-raise himself. Or should he slow role him, not putting him on the flush draw. Decisions, decisions.
I'm being sarcastic of course. A little.
