Hey, kinda curious about this, for those of you who have MLB Extra Innings, what would you consider your viewing habits are? Like, what teams do you like to watch, what teams do you find yourself NOT watching? Do you flip around a lot, or do you find a game that intrigues you, and you stay with it, with the occasional flipping between innings?
I notice that I watch a lot of Yankee games, especially when they are playing a game at Yankee Stadium, and especially a day game there. The atmosphere at that stadium is PURE baseball, and it makes for an enjoyable watch. I'm not even a Yankee fan, I usually root for them to LOSE, but I love watching the theatre that is Yankee Stadium baseball. It doesn't hurt that they're a good club. I love listening to Michael Kay on YES.
I watch the Red Sox as well, for many of the same reasons as I've stated about the Yankees. They're a good offensive club, and you never know when the game will change course when you play at Fenway, like today's Twins-Sox game.
I'll watch the Twins once in a while, I'll watch the White Sox occasionly, Mariners occasionally, the A's, Rangers, Angels, and Blue Jays often. I like the Jays because they're an offensive force, and the Angels, though not doing so hot, still have that Rally Monkey thing going on with their bats. Orioles, Rays, Indians, and Royals rarely. I'll watch the Tigers (my team) often until they get blown out in inning 3, then I take advantage of Extra Innings.
I'll watch the Braves, Phillies, Expos a little, the Marlins rarely, the Mets a little less than often. I'll watch the Cardinals often, Cubs sometimes, Astros sometimes, Pirates often, Reds often, and Milwaukee somtimes. I'll watch Giants games, Rockies sometimes, the Dodgers often, Arizona pretty much never, and Padres sometimes.
I find myself getting stuck on an intriguing matchup and enjoying that for the night. Sometimes I roam if there is no compelling matchup. Once the 7:00 EST games are over, I'll make a decision on whether I'm staying up to watch another couple, or if I call it a night. The West Coast games are enjoyable but I can't seem to stay awake for the conclusions a lot of the time. Angels, Dodgers, and Giants are a very entertaining watch.
Anybody else?
