You don?t get baseball, cause you don?t know ANYTHING about it. If you did, you wouldn?t have said that there is no mental aspect to it, or that there is no strategy. What about stealing, lots of physicality and technique goes into it. Knowing when to go. On a hit and run, or a flat steal. Laying down bunts. Flying out to score a runner at third. Using different pitchers to combat batters with different strengths. Using DH?s. Things you don?t consider cause you have had little exposure to the sport. I?m not saying that it is the game god gave us to play or anything like that, it has its faults. I would personally like to see out-sourced drug tests of every MLB athlete, so we could get the cheating steroid using fucks out of the league. And the majors are a lot slower than when you actually play. Those bastards get a elongated matter of time to what ever they want when calling time and switching from fielding to batting. But you don?t understand the premeditation of it either. Who cuts the ball when throwing from left to home? When the ball is hit to second who covers second to turn a double play? Do you even know what the hell I?m talking about? Probably not cause you don?t understand the game. Which is fine, but don?t let that lack of knowledge form false assumptions about the sport.

I've had buds drag me to enough games to understand most of what you're talking about. However, it's still primarily comon sense that is used, not skill. It is the only sport that comes to mind besides golf where you have that much time to decide what to do. Now take hockey. I play starting goalie for my school team. I get roughly a few tenths of a second to react to people shooting slabs of rubber 90+ mph at me. Say you bat a bad game. So what? If I play like shit, not only do we lose, but many idiots blame a loss on the goalie. Compared to the physical and mental neccessities of hockey, baseball players can hardly even be considered athletes, nor baseball a sport. Yet it passes off, barely...
