Watching live is better. Combine people watching with watching a game and conversation with your friends or family.

Yeah, in playoff baseball, the boring moments in the regular season are tense/suspenseful moments in the playoffs. That's when I'll watch it.
Agreed with who said baseball is meant to be watched in the background when you're socializing. I think that's reflected in baseball stadiums too. I've been to the Mariners and Seahawks new (at the time: 2005 and 2007) stadiums, which are right next to each other and built around the same time. At the Mariners one there's a massive team store to poke around, at one point it was the biggest team store in MLB. There's just lots of places in that stadium to go poke around in.
For the Seahawks meanwhile, it's not nearly the same in that regard. Team store but that's about it, just there to watch the game. I feel that's by design, just in the way the 2 sports are played. Baseball you may want to get up and stretch your legs for a bit, football you're pretty much glued. Just my opinion anyway.
