Baseball has changed

Just saw on the news that Rawlings was moving their production to China. So now the equipment for baseball will be made in China. Do they have baseball there?

Yes, actually, they have a professional league there.

Edited: for clarity, the league is in Taiwan.

Here is a fun little analysis of a situation by jomboy media. There’s some f-bombs and stuff, so fair warning: [ame]https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=bWAiViyVd20[/ame]

Suggest that you watch the movie "Money Ball" to see what actually goes into a baseball season-it is absolutely fascinating the strategy that a manager implements over the course of a season. Baseball is NOT a game made for TV. It is a throwback to a more relaxed time whee one had time ot savot te game, read stats figure out who to pitch, what shifts, etc. It isn't made for fast paced times like today. One gets that in following a college team but unless you pick and follow one team you loose a lot of it especially id you do not live in a major league city and have a rooting interest in a particular team. It is why football has become so popular.Totally different animal. I think baseball is perhaps the hardest game to play successfully over time for a player.

I agree that there is wayyyyyyy more strategy in baseball than other sports.

I can get into post season baseball, LDS, LCS, WS.

Just seems like 162 is way too many regular season games.

Manfred is the worst commissioner ever. Does not care about the integrity of the game/

It all went downhill when they introduced the glove.

As someone who played cricket back in the day, I agree. Get the gloves off the outfielders.

With the possible exception of his predecessor.

Yep Selig was bad but it takes a Harvard lawyer to really screw things up.
