I just don't get it. They play like 100 games, so no single game matters until the play off. There's no real strategy to it (herp derp hit the ball as far as you can), and the players aren't really that great of athletes.
So why would anybody watch it?

I've never understood it either.
It is fun enough to play, but to watch? Don't get it.

Well could you perhaps give me a brief summary of typical baseball strategies or at least a link? I'm not interested in it, and I don't understand why others are. I'm not "moaning about it"
