Would you rather lose a 1-run game or a blowout?
I rather lose in a blowout.
Like yesterday, the Phillies killed us. It was a straightup loss.
With 1 run games, its really frustrating. It's like, "Aww man, the Giants lost because they grounded into 6 double plays with the bases loaded".

i'd rather lose a 1-run game. Both options lead to a loss, and in a 1-run game, your team was in it until the end, most likely kept the fans in their seats, people glued to the tv, tuned to the radio, whereas a blowout is pure sucking, a combination of your teams' pitcher getting shalacked, your offense getting owned by the opposition, and just playing overall bad baseball, most likely leading to few people sticking around to the end.
with a 1 run loss your team played good baseball.

I'd rather lose by a blowout. Just like the other day when the Yankees lost a 1-0 game against the Royals. In my opinion, 1-0 losses are the worst kind of losses possible because you just need to score ONE run to go into extra innings.

Depends if it's a 1-0 game or an 6-5 game. If it's a 6-5 game, I'll take that, knowing that the Phillies aren't in another one of their offensive slumps. If we're talking a 1-0 game, I'd take the blowout instead.

I might be the only one who would rather lose a 1 run game. It's more exciting, keeps the fans in the game since every batter on the team that's down by 1 run can potentially tie the game. And it puts more pressure on the pitcher and the defense of the team with the 1 run lead.

I would rather lose a 1-run game, because when watching a blowout, it's just painful to watch. No one wants to see their team get swamped by like 10 runs. I would rather my team lose a game competitively, rather then know that they've already lost halfway through.

1 run. You are always in the game. What player likes playing in a blowout, unless you are the team doing the damage? I'd rather lose a squeaker than get destroyed.

A a million-0 loss is greater exciting and worse on an analogous time. that's greater exciting because of the fact the dropping group remains in an analogous and it places greater rigidity on the prevailing group's pitcher, inspite of the undeniable fact that that's worse than a blowout because of the fact that's greater disappointing which you're group became into so close yet could not somewhat tie or win it.

BlowOut Cause then i can do something else. In 1-run Games I have to know if we win or loss.

1-0. why would you want to be blown out? at least in a 1-0 your still in the game and have a chance to win.
