I couldn't agree more here. I played college baseball as a pitcher and
I can honestly say, there is nothing I would rather watch then a 1-0
game. That's baseball at it's finest if you ask me. You have
everything from the manager's doing everything they can to manufacture
a run, ie. bunts, squeeze, sac bunts, hit-and-runs, stepping out of
the box, whatever they can do to get the pitcher out of his zone.

I have to agree, in the before mentioned game, I'd have no fingernails
left.
