Message: [QUOTE="ForCuseSake, post: 3044250, member: 266"] You didn't watch the Stanley Cup finals if you believe the dive has been eliminated from hockey. Tarasenko sold the fakest high hit to get a penalty in game 4. NHL guys bob their heads at the slightest contact to draw high-stick penalties. It's gamesmanship. Baseball is easiest for you because you like the game. I loathe baseball and find the whole game idiotic. The pitcher can't step off the rubber and throw to first (or whatever a balk is). The fact that a catcher can appeal to another official to second guess the plate ump's call (did a hitter break his wrists and "swing") is dumb. Baseball has far more examples of reactionary rules created to make officiating more difficult than soccer. To each their own. Edit - a baseball fan criticizing soccer for "having a clock that really isnt a clock" is where you lose this argument. Baseball - the games that average 3 hours and 5 minutes with actually not having a clock. [/QUOTE]
