I simply read the play result. My current random debut league started in 1992 and is now in 2019. I will sometimes watch 1 game per day for the entire season. Sometimes I sim till August 1st or September 1st and watch a game per day during the pennant chase. I watch all post season games. One of my favorite additions to OOTP will always be the addition of short play by play, instant. I actually wouldn't mind if they took it one step further and offered the option of a result only play by play. I know the old Strat computer version offered result only and I loved it. Wouldn't want them to spend a lot of time on it though, as the short play play instant works just fine.
I haven't really been bothered by the pickoff attempts while watching games. I do remember way way back in the day when foul balls were quite annoying, but they quickly did something to alleviate that.

To each his own, absolutely. That's why I was genuinely curious about the OP
