Trying to understand Baseball.

Posted on 10/16/2005 2:29:18 PM PDT by momf

I'm lost watching the St Louis/ Astros game. Can anyone tell me what "LCS" refers to? Listening to the game announcers is similar to learning a new language - without a English/Baseball dictionary.

Well, that makes sense. Thank you! Now I can watch and quit looking for it.

In the big country of Texas!! However, I haven't watched baseball for 40 years. I'm having to learn the rules for a form of football I've never seen, too. Have you ever watched 6 man football? That's what they play in our little town. Fast game.

Listening to a game on radio has the same effect on me as Nyquil. Knocks me right out. I'm not sure why.

I have heard of it, but it's more like Arena football to me, which I still haven't quite figured out...

It's not like arena (I'm told since I haven't even tried to watch or figure out). I'll try to find to link to the rules and post them. We've been here a little over a year and I still can't keep up with the action. I'm getting better though.

Clemenza's a Mets fan.

I don't know, I'd be real careful about picking on someone with "mom" in their screen name.

We had a Swedish Au Pair (no jokes please) and I took her and my kids to a ballgame. She wanted to know the rules and I thought, "No problem, this should take about 3 minutes.) Two hours later I was still explaining things such as the infield flyball rule. I discovered that its more complicated than I thought.

Please be advised that baseball came outcomes usually turn on 3 or 4 pitches and one out. You have to watch the whole game to see which ones they are...
