The thing about baseball -- the thing that people who love it and people who don't can still agree on -- is that it is always happening. There are 162 games a season, smushed together over six months; the notion that there is a game tomorrow, always, is baked into the appeal of the sport. This makes every game seem, in a strange way, disposable. Knowing that there is a game tomorrow, whether you win or lose this one, makes baseball an inherently more relaxing game to watch, to play and to manage. Not every game is life-or-death. Some days you win, some days you lose, some days it rains.
