RE: People seem to like that a certain play in football or said pitcher/batter battle is like a game in itself. You have a start, some excitement and a resolution in a very short space of time. And this repeats many times so the excitement level is maintained. You do not have this in soccer. I would be interested in your thoughts on this. Baseball is a thinking mans game. You are right. The pitcher vs. hitter is the center of the action and that is what interests me. Football and basketball are more action oriented. In football it is the offense and defensive play calls and subsequent execution that is of interest. Basketball, especially pro basketball, is not as interesting as it used to be. Too much of a power drive (called pounding in) to the hoop followed by a dunk or short layup with the other players standing around with their finger in their nose. Used to be a more finesse game with tactics.
