What do you miss the most about baseball?

"The baseball offseason is only three and a half months. It's not that long from The World Series to Spring Training. And there's the hot stove and free agents and everything. It feels pretty long though. So what do you miss the most about baseball? I miss that from mid-February to November, there's a game practically every day."

"With baseball, you get that slow and steady dose every day. I miss not being able to turn on a game on Wednesday and Thursday afternoons to make the work day smoother."

"So I'm talking about the baseball season versus the offseason here. But you can tell me about something baseball used to have but doesn't anymore. Sue me, but I never hated that National League pitchers had to hit. I also really miss when pitcher injuries were much less common and you didn't need 87 pitchers to get through a season."

The baseball offseason lasts about three and a half months between the World Series and Spring Training. Offseason activity such as the hot stove and free agency fills some days, but the break still feels lengthy. From mid-February to November, games occur almost every day, producing a slow and steady daily rhythm. That daily availability of games makes weekday afternoons more enjoyable and smoother. There is nostalgia for older elements of the game, including National League pitchers batting. There is also concern about increased pitcher injuries and the need to carry far more pitchers across a season.
