Default Re: Explain Baseball

This is the beauty of baseball. It's not in your face like football, or constant action like hockey. It's a methodical pace. It's got exciting points, it's got low points.

On the surface, it looks like not much is going on. It looks like 1 guy throwing, and 1 guy trying to hit it.

If you watch more, you see there is infinite strategy going on back and forth. If the pitcher is trying to pitch inside, the defense will swing to that side. Is the pitcher going to follow up a eye level fastball with a sinker, or go right back up the ladder.


For me, baseball resembles life in a lot of ways. A lot of down time, but short burst of excitement and intensity.


For those that like soccer, it's the same kind of deal. It looks like someone kicking a ball over and over, but really, there is so much skill/strategy involved, it's really amazing to watch.
