Time between pitches: what do fans do?

I'm convinced that batters simply wander without any benefits.  Pitchers wait there turn to waste more time.

During this avoidable void, what do fans do?  If watching with others, we can always talk, probably about anything but the game.  But what goes through our minds when watching alone, most likely at home?

If we pay attention at all, we must think: get back in the box, get back in the damn box, get back in the ___ing box you ___ing idiot!

Come on.  These clowns wander around even if they're standing in poring rain.  It makes no sense.

Even if the batters were thinking about something, why should we care?  We're sitting there trying to watch a baseball game and they're standing in our way.  They might as well be in the room with us blocking our view of the screen.

Oh, wait.  The batter has been interrupted by the pitching coach waddling out to the mound for a meeting.  This is a billion dollar industry and it cannot monitor its product enough to eliminate these dead spots that cannot generate revenue and only detract from any possible entertainment value.

Are some fans actually considering the game situation during the 300 breaks in action?  Can that possibly take nearly as long as the interruption?  The game is pretty simple and does not change much from pitch to pitch.  It would seem that a pretty dull mind would be required to submerge one's consciousness in this empty time interval.

It's sort of like waiting someplace that we do not want to be except that we want to be there, we want to be enjoying a baseball game.  When will the game come back out?  Will it come back out?  If it comes back out, will I be alert or will I miss it as often happens.  Sure, a missed play is replayed but it's very annoying to spend all that time waiting and then to miss it because we weren't paying attention, which happens more than we want to admit.  Someone enters and asks about the game and we realize that we don't know.  The mind has wandered, much like the batter.
