Help me become a baseball fan

[The Argonaut]

The worst part is knowing that it wasn't a troll. This thread was sincere but we failed Jorge. We weren't able to prove the key he needed to unlock the gift of baseball. We couldn't point him the path forward. I'm sorry we failed you, Jorge. Maybe come back in a few months when pitchers and catchers report? Give us another shot?

gfy

Unkind words!

Say that to my ass

I love watching Jomboy baseball breakdowns and the YouTube channel Baseball Doesn't Exist, but actually watching baseball is a very boring experience.

I agree with this. Jomboy's channel is utterly brilliant.

[Farmer John]

Yes, this seems like way too much work and I still have no clue where to start. I have abandoned this project

Typical

It's my own fault. I really don't know why I thought I'd have the time for another hobby.

[Farmer John]

Argo's right. It's our fault. We came on too strong.

baseball is not a hobby you jackass...

[Farmer John]

Emotions are understandably running high right now. Let's not say something we'll later regret.

Jorge has proven the obvious. When the Astros exit early, baseball fandom suffers. Time to admit that MLB needs their scapegoats to go deep in the playoffs in the Manfred era. Hate = ratings

[E.H. Ruddock]

Time to lock this thread and move on, folks.

[wease]

Haha! Ruddo hates baseball

[E.H. Ruddock]

On the contrary. But we have an MLB thread. Jorge isn't interested any more, so we can talk baseball over there or in the minor league thread.

What is it then you piece of shit?

[Ello Sailor]

Jackass is the best insult.

Let’s go to a game together

it's our national past time..its a time of joy..its the sport that starts in the spring and lasts until fall..bats and balls..newly oiled gloves..get to know your teammates again and meet their new wives..if you're a pitcher on a road trip you can bring your golf clubs and get in a round..position players not so much..there are buckets of free bubble gum everywhere..you get to try to sign baseballs before or after the game..many fans with throw shit at you while you're playing..you go home and do the same thing the next day or night

[lennytheweedwhacker]

I can’t even

[Jorge]

A hobby is a pastime. Those words are synonymous

[wease]

Baseball is the soul... the cock...the pussy... the small of a woman's back... the hangin' curveball... high fiber... good scotch... believing the novels of Susan Sontag are self-indulgent, overrated crap... believing Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone, believing there ought to be a Constitutional amendment outlawing Astroturf and the designated hitter, believing in the sweet spot, soft core pornography, opening your presents Christmas morning rather than Christmas Eve, and believing in long, slow, deep, soft, wet kisses that last three days. That’s what baseball is, Jorge Brown.

[doug rr]

baseball is a team sport...lets say we have a 2 run lead and brought Jorge into close the game..he gives up a 3 run dinger..then what do you do? You go to him as he's sulking in the corner of the dugout and you look him in the eyes and you put you arms on his shoulders and tell him we got this but you do owe us drinks..all is forgiven..its baseball
