ok, cricket is for fags. men that dress up to play a sport like dick in the bum period. so let's get that straight (and not the way you may be thinking .. you seem to like your cricket). but yeah, a batter has a quick eye obviously. I've seen the opposite happen where the batter doesn''t swing and theball curves in over the strike zone. watch for those too. you walk after 4 balls too
I decided to settle on following the Rockies - no idea why, maybe it is just the fact they come from Denver, i tried to look out for the Blue Jays and the Rays but never had the same interest. So now that's decided - i am a Rockies fan.
Also, i am starting to pick up other bits and bobs as i go, which is definitely making the game more enjoyable. The wife is not too pleased about the ESPN subscription either, just wait till i tell her that i now get all the college football as well.
As far as Cricket goes - a game i know well! I honestly believe a game of 20/20 Cricket is played at a faster pace than a game of Baseball. The 5 day test matches on the other hand are hard to watch unless you have an interest in the team playing and are very slow.
Whilst the cricket clothing may seem pretentious (although i am not sure what knee high socks, baggy trousers and a baseball shirt is, if not the same) it is tradition. BUT, a cricket ball is like a rock, it comes at the batsman at the same speed a baseball is pitched with the added varient of the bounce, the sport when played at a high level is every bit as skillful as baseball.
Anyway, stand by for my next series of baseball questions during the Rockies/Dodgers game!
The Twins and Rays are basically playing in an empty stadium - is attendance at baseball games poor?
Good choice with the Rockies. I have a soft spot for them too.
3 catches and the innnings ends - i get that.
What about strike outs? do the team just keep rotating through until they are all out - or is there a magic number that gets them all out on that?
and does the next innings start off from where they left off in the batting order, or can you stick your best guy in first?
