It's really a shame--CWS is easily the most watched even of the season on a national scale and it's incredibly boring.

Pitching has been excellent. I pretty much watch every game. OM/TT was kind of boring and fell asleep before the UVA/TCU was over but I still enjoy it. Triples and gap doubles are just as exciting to me as home runs but I especially appreciate good pitching. To me, the dimensions are not as big a problem as the wind. The wind knocks down what should be gappers and turns them into routine fly balls. On the other hand though, it knocks easy fly balls that should be caught into singles. Pitching has gotten so much better over the last few years and that has as much to do with the game changing as large field, wind and bats. Do a quick calculation on the 16 starting pitchers in the first 8 games and I bet the average is just about what the scores are turning out to be.
