Why are the United States and Japan the only two countries on Earth that give a shit about baseball?

asian countries like taiwan and s korea love baseball as well.
it appeals to their autism

Because Japan is a colony of USA

This. South American countries produce some of the best players in the world.

Generates the second most revenue out of any sport in the world

Also Cubans Dominicans and Puerto Rican’s like it

>Rounders with a bigger bat

cricket is unironically more entertaining.
Being able to hit the ball 20% of the time is an absolute joke. worse than soccer in terms of entertainment

Because it's boring and looks gay

PR is part of USA.

Colombian Caribbean coast too. Pic related (Gio Urshela) scored a mad home run today with the Yankees. Julio Teherán is also doing pretty good in Atlanta

its a good sport. simple and easy to follow. good to watch at a stadium.
cricket is the worst sport I have ever seen. I watch highlight on youtube. complicated. boring. nonsense.

Well it's our sport so that's why we like it

because it's a sport for high iq chads. soccer is for brown sub-iq manlets

Complicated? Is this the famed feeble American intellect on full display?

i dont know. i watch it and it has random numbers and balls go backwards and players run like retards. looks like sport for closeted gays.

Jow Forums will never admit it but basketball is the most exciting sport

> fast paced
> close games
> best highlights
> high athelticism
> good spatial awareness and fast tactics

hockey is all that but better. damn why are we so good at inventing sports?

i thought i was on /sp/ for a second
99% of shitposting there is about american vs non-american sports
except it is mostly football vs soccer.

Hockey is my number two but the reason it’s lower has more to do with the nhl killing the sport

It’s been awful in recent years

> t. Raptors fanboi who still hasn't managed to digest their victory over the GS warriors

you are a basketball country now.

I completely agree with you. Basketball is definitely more fun than baseball and football to watch. The only sport that is arguably more exciting is hockey.

*

basketball is probably the only sport that can overtake soccer, in terms of popularity.

how is it awful? maybe too many sunbelt expansion teams but the game is better, cleaner, pure finesse hockey, none of the 'enforcers' and staged fights bullshit.

The Caribbean is North America, and that's where all the talent is.

You bat a ball that's thrown at you, you then run between the wickets to score runs. You get a 4 for a boundary that hits the field of play before crossing and a 6 for crossing the boundary line without hitting the field of play.
Done, I've literally explained Cricket in a single paragraph.

Basketball is the best sport, but the NBA's structure is annoying and makes it boring to follow.

too complicated

Basketball is a great sport but the NBA and its fans are cringe and cancer

The took away the salary cap so that layers can just willingly form super teams and screw up the comptitvness

Four years of Cleveland vs the warriors in the finals was one of the worst things to happen to the nba,

Truest whites go skiing

I didn't understand any of that.

taking away salary caps and forming super-teams is what makes NBA so damn popular. normies like super teams and super-stars.

Italy and the Netherlands are the best baseball countries in Europe

because nips think american football is too stupid so they picked the better one to adopt to please their master. kek

american football is stupid

unironically true

don't underestimate the mensch on the bench

It costs too much money for most countries to have a football program

why is your shit country stealing a series from me

its because its the highest IQ sport ever created

you need to be a big brain to even understand the stats

She looks so gross and white. I want to hurt her.

>No explanation of ways to get the batsmen out, wides, no-balls and Duckworth-Lewis and that's just for starters
Either way it's nothing but televised boredom.

Are you trying to explain this to yourself? Because this makes 0 sense in layman's.

baseball is interesting desu
it's a very cool sports

I don't think there's slight regard to pander to Americans in playing baseball

San Francisco Giants >>>>>>>>>>>> all

they're meme leagues
i didn't even know we had a league until i sat next to a team on an economy flight.
Cricket is interesting to watch ball to ball because there is more than 1 shot in the entire sport and somebody getting out is relevant

I think they just don't have enough big fat apes for football.

japanese baseball culture is much different from american baseball culture

t. watches multiple hundred 3-4 hour baseball games every year

In Brazil baseball is considered a yankee imperialist sport that is highly frowned upon.

But soccer is the exact same? Brazil doesn’t even have a native sport.

Because it's boring as fuck

Football started as working class sport, railway guys vs dock workers etc.

Less so than soccer

Cope

Baseball is the most reddit-tier sport in the world.

Okay? So did baseball.

Idk it's just what people think. We have capoeira and BJJ btw, but I noticed rugby is the most popular sport among the youth today here, after football of course.

No, it's stupid.

Baseball is our national sport. Our baseball is a real sport though and therefore different from what Americans are playing. It's a bit odd though that neither do Finns follow American baseball at all nor the rest or the world except for Estonians and Swedes know anything about Finnish baseball.

New York Yankees scout visited Finland. He speaks English on the video:

but in many countries, baseball is not a working class sport.
its associated with autistic fairies like cricket is.

sports are lame

>fast paced
A game of 48 minutes that lasts two and a half hours lol

>pitching the ball like 7-year olds

the best players are white and asian

Disgusting.

ummm excuse you

hes not as good this year

>throw the ball
We don't just throw the ball like low iq americans, anyone can get that speed by pitching like faggots. There's a complete action, the arm rotates completely.

JUST THROWING THE BALL ISN'T ALLOWED YOU FAGGOT.

One hits the ball and one catches the ball. What are the other players doing?

>A RUNNING START

Which is just one of the things that makes cricket retarded.

handball for pussies

shifts, getting to base, getting in position to cutoff a throw or backup a basemen

anybody on base is either running or watching to see if the fielder catches it (so he knows if he needs to tag up or stay where he is)

i think thats most things during a live ball

No, it makes it beautiful. There's so much variety. We have different kinds of bowling. Seam, spin, swing. Just like that there's so much variety in shot selection. It's a very high iq strategic game tbqh.

baseball is just pesäpallo for homos

Attached: 1530038205500.jpg (1920x1440, 478K)

A lot of stupid rules, a lot of equipment, low mobility and action.
We have a lot of more interesting games where everyone can be both throwing and catching, and the game only needs one ball and a smooth ground (not a special certified lawn with markings)

Strangely common Jow Forums formula

Did you watch the scout video? And please don't refer to American baseball as a sport because it isn't one.
