Live commentary on Radio 5 now, including Josh Chetwynd. Unlistenable
though because it is aimed at non baseball fans, with explanations of
all the basics. Seems pretty pointless - anybody wanting to learn
about baseball would be better off watching it on TV, and people not
interested in the sport would just turn off. Hope Channel 5 get it on
soon.

Ah, that would be me ! I had seen baseball on my satellite set-up a few
times and had a go trying to work out what was going on with the help of
some stuff off the net.
The game on Sunday night when Rod Sharp was in NY was Ok and I learn't a
lot, but on Wednesday and Thursday night there were too many
interruptions.
I watched Saturday nights game on Ch5.
The thing I couldn't understand was why one of the pitchers was
intentionally walking a batter. Can someone explain ?
( Pardon my terminology )

Well, I didn't see the game, but off the top of my head I can think of
two reasons you'd intentionally walk somebody.
1) You think you've got more chance of getting the *next* guy out for
the third out.

2) You still need two outs, there isn't a runner on first, and you think
you can get the next guy to hit the ball to an infielder for a double
play.

OH, and I've just thought of:
3) There are runners on and you think the current batter has a good
chance of hitting a home run, you have an empty base, and you think you
can get the next guy(s) without giving up as many runs.

>( Pardon my terminology )

Looked fine to me Cool
