critter171 Posted March 16, 2009 Author Share Posted March 16, 2009 Baseball... do you mean Rounders? lul its baseball for me and i believe there a diffrence between both. GGA rules of rounders are very simliar to baseball excpet following " The GAA version of the game is very similar to softball. The main difference is that the game is played with baseball-sized bats, balls and field. However, baseball-style gloves are not allowed. The main differences between baseball and the NRA version of the game are that: the bat is much shorter and is usually swung one-handed misses/strikes aren't called, so there are no walks or strike-outs - each batter receives only one good ball and must run whether they hit it or not posts (which should be wooden, preferably encased in plastic sheaths) mark the bases the lay-out of the pitch is different, especially the location of home base In rounders, bowlers pitch with an underarm pendulum action as in softball, as distinct from baseball" baseball is still diffrent from softball/rounders I prefer swedish longball. never heard of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jayseven Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 I've been known to watch the odd late-night baseball on channel 5. While the stop/start side of things and the general lack of any action both make it a strain to watch at first, it can be enjoyable. Never played.

Guest Captain Falcon Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 When channel five first started showing games, I'd stay up to at least 3 every morning - even if I had school the following day. I don't follow it any more, but I try to make an effort to watch the world series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darksnowman Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 I've tried to get into both baseball and NFL over the years but I find them both difficult to really feel involved with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jav_NE Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 I used to watch it back in the summer holidays when i was at school. Late night sundays on channel 5, its awesome. I sort of picked the Seattle Mariners as my team as i liked that Ichiro guy, but i dont know if he's still there or any good anymore. He was sweet back then, so fast and sneaky. I'd love to watch it live one day. Just chill out, have some beers and hotdogs. I've never been able to the times ive been to America though. Ah well. NHL would be great to see as well. I used to watch that occasionally. I liked the Toronto Maple Leafs, but later learned they are like the Man Utd of NHL so that sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fish Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 I actually really like baseball, but as a home-counties* type, my heart belongs to cricket. *as you're from New England, I'll excuse you for not having the faintest clue what I'm on about. They're the counties directly around London, plus a couple of others all in SE England. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
