About damn time.
Good. The strategy of the double switch was too complicated for me
Agree that it’s nearly impossible for fans to comprehend but once I got it it made baseball SO much more exciting!
TAMUI do know, Newsie is right on you knowing ball.
The only thing more confounding in baseball is how the sport hasn’t been renamed after Yadier Molina
It's better than the leagues having different rules.... but I always preferred the NL rules
From Joe PosnanskiIn 2000, pitchers hit .150/.186/.195 and struck out 37% of the time they came to the plate. This is terrible, by the way, but pretty much in line with how pitchers had been hitting for decades. In 1978, to pull a random year, pitchers hit .148/.183/.188.In 2005, pitchers hit .150/.182/.190 and struck out 36% of the time. Same thing.In 2010, pitchers hit .143/.177/.177 and struck out 33% of the time. Worse in some ways, but they put the ball in play more — lots of sacrifice bunts.In 2015, pitchers hit .133/.160/.171 and struck out 37% of the time. Things seem to be going in the wrong direction, don’t they?And then in 2021, pitchers hit .110/.149/.140 and struck out 44% of the time.You can see this is definitely going in the wrong direction, and in my view it just isn’t sustainable. How badly would pitchers have to hit to convince hardened fans of pitchers hitting that it no longer works? Would pitchers have to hit .060 to make the case? How about .038?I don't understand what took so long.
I don't really care about that. For me, it added to the strategy of the game. Baseball is also the only sport I know of that has every player play both offense and defense... except one.
Hockey goalies don’t play offense. But regardless, sports are different.
Football? Donald wasn't catching passes.
Yes they do. They are out there while the offense is on the ice. Same in soccer.And yes sports are different, thank you for making that clear
Basketball?And Clarissa will explain it all to you.
Sorry this one went over my head
