baseball is simple - it requires thirteen players, consisting of three grabbers, three taggers, five twig-runners, one center tagger, and the player at whack-bat. The center tagger lights a pinecone on fire and throws it to the player at whack-bat. The player hits the pinecone and runs to knock a cedar stick off the cross rods. Then the twig-runners dash back and forth until the pinecone burns out and the umpire calls "Hot box." Finally, the scoredowns are added up, then divided by nine.
Euros tend to muck about in mud and shit all day, they don't often have days where they walked entirely on dry concrete. In such cases I can understand leaving your God awful shoes outside, but many in America don't even get their shoes dirty enough to keep off the couch. Another culture shock for them, the idea of being consistently clean.
If you walk around barefoot in your own home the soles of your feet become black. That's, believe it or not, not normal, unless you deep-clean your floors daily. The "our streets are clean" is the biggest cope in existence. There is literally no justification that wearing shoes in your house is somehow more hygenic or cleaner.
I’ve been to Paris, the clean streets narrative is completely justified
The whole thing is overblown anyway. I live in the south and about 60% of households take their shoes off
Quidditch is easy, it's just football with 3 hoops instead of the net and in the end none of it matters because golden snitch is worth 150 points for some reason
Baseball makes for kino movies, but you shan't catch the average american watching the whole 9 innings like you would them watching 4 quarters of football.
well because the rules are confusing and no one explains them, I know that if the guy hits the ball really far and the enemy can't catch it in time the guy has to run a circle, but what the frick are all other people on the field doing? don't bother answering, I don't really care at this point
>I know if they kick the ball into the net and the guy with gloves can’t stop it they get to run around and dance, but what are all the others doing?
Worst critique of baseball I’ve ever heard. You could’ve brought up balks or the infield fly rule and instead you go for that
>I know if they kick the ball into the net and the guy with gloves can’t stop it they get to run around and dance, but what are all the others doing?
well they all were trying to get the ball into the net, but in baseball they just stand there >You could’ve brought up [word I never heard] or the [some bullshit] rule and instead you go for that
okay buddy, I'll go for that next time

>in baseball they just stand there
Unlike the defenders and goalkeeper, who are always moving around right outside the box when their team is on the attack
>Baseball makes for kino movies
It's because the good guys can get really far behind the other team in points for dramatic tension and then rocket into the lead when their entire team pulls together and gets home run after home run, all set against the further tension of the opposing team trying to get the good guys to three outs (and they already have two outs!!!!).
> You can't sit on a lead and run a few plays into the line and just kill the clock. You've got to throw the ball over the damn plate and give the other man his chance. That's why baseball is the greatest game of them all.
Unironically, yes. This is part of what makes baseball, and especially playoff baseball, so fun: every inning could be THE inning
I'm not a burger, but for a while when I worked nights I would watch Japanese baseball games (yeah yeah, thing, Japan etc) and despite not understanding any Japanese and having to figure out the rules for myself as I watched I really got into them. It is a naturally kino game and I can now see why so many sports movies are based on it. In game I watched the two pitchers faced each other back to back. One struck the other out, then they swapped and the other guy couldn't throw a ball straight and his team got BTFO. Literal cinematic moment.
Baseball is extremely comfy. If you ever visit the states during summer I implore you to catch a MLB game with friends/family. Sit back, have a beer and get some sun while watching America’s pastime
Hey, did I ever tell you the story about homie elk? homie elk, yeah. I was watching TV - the game, right? He got tossed the ball and he was running with it, he was running running running. He jumped over three linebackers in mid-air. He sprouted antlers! Like a gazelle? Like an elk? He landed again - he ran ran ran - he scored a touchdown!
>american passtime >got usurped by football decades ago >even football has been declining for a while
Why they act like its still the 50s and everyone loves baseball?

I think screenwriters should strive for more realism in the dialogue instead of sounding like AI generated.
I don't think a single person outside of the tri-state area gives a frick about baseball, but since every movie is written and produced by israelites the entire world has to put up with baseball dialogue.
Just last night the Royals had a sellout crowd after a 60-102 season. If you did anything other than post on Cinemaphile you’d see a whole different world

I'm glad to have discovered another European kryptonite: Baseball. Ill put it on my list next to guns, antisemitism and honesty.
add "dirty shoes inside your house", never got that one

Bongs will complain about this but play Quidditch
Quidditch is easy, it's just football with 3 hoops instead of the net and in the end none of it matters because golden snitch is worth 150 points for some reason
Snitch ends the game regardless of score, you can still catch the snitch but lose
You're gonna be complaining and b***hing all fricking day aren't you?

Can't HGH your way out of this one, boys.

I'm not saying racism good, but how about find some new material
>Hollywood lacks creativity
Is that an antisemitic dogwhistle?
Also there is now a new and original material called transphobia bad
I only saw it in tv shows I can count on my one hand
>non white appears on screen

and everyone knows the rules? I saw like 5-10 baseball movies through my life, and it still doesn't feel like a real sport
It’s just cricket but not moronic, I don’t know why people have a problem with it

Sounds like you have issues well beyond baseball

>My pathetic Marlins were on both ends of extremely nutty comebacks this week
Baseball is such a funny game, how can someone not love it?

Perhaps your shit hole could make movies instead
I'm Canadian.
And?
We play a game very similar to baseball called "kickball" I think we can grasp the mind-boggling rules of your pathetic sport.
So why are you whining you stupid homosexual
I'm Canadian.
>OP movie

Joke's on you. I actually am a gay.

It used to have SOVL

>Did you catch the game last night?
Baseball is fun because a lot of the nogs are swapped out for hispanics and a couple asians
I don't think you actually like baseball anon
>you must worship ze Black folk or no sports for you!
Fascist
you know baseball is a bullshit sport because even at the top level there are fat players

Our dialect has become laced with too many baseball idioms for it to every truly fade out of mind
Football is bigger than ever, way to out yourself as a moron
way to out yourself as a Black personball enjoyer

Kino.
irl when americans get together they start talking about fast food chains
Seeing as how you've never been to America or met any of its residents, is this an imaginary scenario you dreamt up?
