Eco Posted September 30, 2020 Posted September 30, 2020 Playoffs just started. Watching the Braves currently, as they are in the 13th inning against the Reds, as it's 0-0. C'mon Braves, don't do the typical 'Atlanta thing and blow this'.
Eco Posted September 30, 2020 Author Posted September 30, 2020 Red have bases loaded for two innings in a row and still can't get a runner home.
Eco Posted September 30, 2020 Author Posted September 30, 2020 Atta boy Freddie! Freeman gets a hit and Braves score to win the game 1-0 in the 13th innning.
Eco Posted October 1, 2020 Author Posted October 1, 2020 Game 2 for the Braves going on now, 0-0 in Top 3rd.

Eco Posted October 28, 2021 Author Posted October 28, 2021 Great night last night as Braves defeated the cheating Astros in Game 1. Game 2 is currently going on, and Braves are down 5-2, and this team is special enough is many ways so I'm not too worried. Chop Chop

I honestly don't really give a shit about baseball, but I was offered a chance to go to a playoff game and the atmosphere was pretty cool as far as American sport goes. Tickets weren't too expensive. I think baseball's better live than watching it at home, where it just puts me to fucking sleep. It's honestly better listening to it on the radio than watching it imo... but I also think that about cricket. But it's definitely more fun live. Philidelphia's massacring the Padres now though oh shit maybe not, 2 back to back home runs

What is good, is buying a ten dollar ticket and then walking to the $200 ticket seats and chilling out,

Can’t really get too upset about that if it’s to be expected. I had fun - full stadium, decent seats and the stadium was actually lively (well for a baseball game - because like you say… it’s not the most interesting sport), Petco has good food at the stadium too, so it’s not like paying $7.50 for the world’s shittiest hotdog like I experienced at the SF ballpark when I went with my wife. After that football team left, they’ve been very big here & San Diego sides have generally been shit - this is one of their biggest sporting moments in the history of any sport in the city. Sounds like the game yesterday would have been more fun to go to, as it ended 5-8 to the Padres. But whoever was in charge of scheduling it decided to put it right in the middle of the workday for the home city… I don’t really care for the sport. It’s just glorified rounders tbh. But I like the team, I hope they win something for the city.

OrangeKhrush Posted October 25, 2022 Posted October 25, 2022 was rooting for the padres due to Bob Melvin but it wasn't to be for bomel.
OrangeKhrush Posted October 28, 2022 Posted October 28, 2022 while the Astros are our division rivals I'm going for them over Phillies as the Phillies are just another pay to win franchise while the Astros are probably the best run franchise. it is hard to argue that a 300m contract is bad but I am sure Garrett Cole regrets leaving the Astros
OrangeKhrush Posted October 28, 2022 Posted October 28, 2022 another player probably regretting his choice is Correa, the Twinkies are where baseballers go to die

It's a bit different to rugby - rugby's closer to our football imo, in that the ball is in play more and the play is more dynamic than it is static. US football's much more static, because each team basically has 2 teams within them (you don't see the attacking players and the defensive players of a team on the field at the same time). American football looks really similar to rugby on the surface, but imo it's a very different game. In rugby all players can handle the ball, which isn't the case in US football. Blocking's a huge part of US football, that's not allowed in rugby. Forward passes from the quarterback are a huge part of American football, can't do that in rugby either. US football was actually designed to mimic trench warfare, so it's a lot more "turn based" feeling than rugby or our football is. It's a weird sport, it's pretty entertaining if you get into it... but it takes some effort, imo, trying to get into it. With baseball it's another thing entirely! I think baseball is a rubbish sport - it's painful to watch on TV, if I want to follow the Padres it's easier for me to watch a summary of the game that's going on through google than it is to watch a match on TV. It's great in person though - especially at San Diego's stadium, which is a really really nice stadium. But honestly I don't understand what's happening a lot of the time - but I've been going to more and more games because I've got a few friends with season tickets.
