My DH is starting to ruin baseball for me. VENT.
When I met him, I explained my obsession with the sport. I watch every televised baseball game. If it's not on TV, I will turn the radio on, sit on the porch with a beer and listen to it.
If I miss a game, meh, no biggie, I just look up the scores and that's it. He DVRs every single game. Even the ones we go to. If we know we aren't going to be home, we'll ususally watch the game when we get home, or the next day and he will replay plays over and over and over, especially if it's a close call.
Baseball is a simple game for me. Catch the ball. Throw the ball. Hit the ball. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. That's it. I don't overthink it or try and analyze every single trade, pitching decision or play.
He likes baseball too. Honestly, deep down, I think he wasn't really into it as much as I was when we met, but he just said he was because he knows how I love the game.
Anyway, now that the season has started, everything is about baseball. He will go over every play over and over and over and OVER and it's annoying. If a player from the opposing team hasn't had a hit in the last 20 at bats, he starts moaning and wailing, "OMG this guy is going to hit a home run, he's way over due". If our player gets hit by a pitch, he says it was intentional. He has to watch pregame shows and has to watch the post game interview with Jim Leyland.
Right now I'm in the bedroom with the game on the TV. He's in the family room watching. He keeps running in here to ask me if I just saw what happened. WTF, I'm watching the exact same game you are watching, of course I saw it!
All of this is making me not want to watch games with him.
Vent over.
Re: My DH is starting to ruin baseball for me. VENT.
I understand. Completely. My husband is a college softball coach and played baseball. And he coached high school basketball and football. Watching any game with him is difficult because he critiques everything. I know a lot about sports...I get that I don't know as much as you do, DH, but I still know a lot and I don't need your commentary through every game.
Especially when he is critiquing other coaches and their play calling ability, the developement of their strategies and their coaching philosophy...
I'm about to head to the Auburn vs. Florida baseball game and I know I'll enjoy it...DH is in Tennessee coaching his team

Sorry he is ruining it for you. Have you told him you do not want to analyze every single play or watch the game on dvr?
Is this the reason you are not watching in the same room as him right now?
LMAO!!!
The hubs made Sportscenter this morning. He's in the background of Longoria's HR. He must have asked me over and over again, "did you see it? did you see it? did you see it?"
