    What do you prefer?

    High-scoring games or low-scoring games?

    Option 4: Don't care as long as my team wins!

    But, if my team isn't playing, then I prefer a pitcher's duel. Nothing like seeing pro hitters look like 5 year olds. When a pitcher is in a groove, there is nothing more exhilarating than being at the game, standing up and cheering at every 0-2 pitch.

    Too much of either would be dull after a while.

    Love pitchers duels. Love em. It feels like it's become a game of 1 vs. 1. One guy on the mound trying to outpitch the other guy.

    I LOVE to watch a masterfully pitched game.

    Watching Greg Maddux in the 1990's was like watching art.

    I like slugfests if my team is on the winning end, but I always love and appreciate a pitchers duel no matter what. Good example.

    If the starters are no-namers or not future talents then a slugfest can be enjoyable. To me though there is nothing better than watching a hitter slightly flinch at a called third strike. Pedro's change-up in the late 90's and early 2000's was almost awe-inspiring.

    Pitchers duel! When a game ends 1-0 because of one tiny mistake (aka the Twins-White Sox tiebreaker in 2008) THAT'S awesome
    Gooo Angels!
