76ers: Is fatball aka baseball the least strategically and tactically demanding sport ever?

[Caltex2]

Lebron is destroying pretty much anyone on spurstalk. And every college player drafted this year.
Be Simmons has size and speed in the ballpark of JAmes and he might beat him 15-4.
I dont think anyone here could score more than a couple fluke baskets on Lebron.
When he wants to defend he is lockdown ...

And on offense he would put everyone on this forum in the hospital or dominate even the small school college ballplayers that post here.

The argument was that no one could score on Lebron given 1,000 tries. That's hogwash, I could score on him every now and again. Could I beat him in a game above 1 or maybe 2-0? no.

Can't think of any other sport that just inovles being fat and having strong arms.

Why do they even need coaches?

A sport where Dwight Howard and D'Andre Jordan can make 100 million dollars each while neither can hit a free throw that a 5th grader could hit, that's the least demanding. just be born tall and dumb.

I'm on the football side vs. fatbol, but this is funny.

To be fair to baseball, Id rather watch it over handegg...never ending commercials. How do americans even enjoy that .?

NFL

3 hour broadcasts

Best thing about their championship game is the commercials.

Or basically anything but the actual game.

[lefty]

And most of those commercials have to feature cameos of NFL players :or be football related

[Caltex2]

I haven't seen a single goal in a men's game of synchronized kickball hockey yet today. Not one...and freaking Brazil is playing at home.

^ there have been 2 matches played.

Honduras beat lefty 's 3-2

[Caltex2]

I didn't see the Honduras game.

I saw Brasil/RSoAf and Iraq versus the Danish. So far 30 minutes in, give or take, 0 goals between Portugal and Argentina.

this got managed to watch the only two scoreless games in a day that featured two 8+ goal games, three 4+ goal games and a 2-0

That's 2 too many, and on top of that, there were 4 ties out the 8 games played today

Par for the course for floppytrot. Scoreless games and ties

But it's cheap to play and they run around or something.

In a list of the best places in Philadelphia to find Pokemon in Pokemon Go -- you know, the second most popular game this summer after Shirseymon Go -- Citizens Bank Park was con uously absent. So, during the Phillies' 2-1 loss to the Marlins on Tuesday, the Phanatic set out to prove that CBP is just as filled with those desirable pocket monsters as Independence Hall.

Only the Phanatic … well, he isn't so great at this Pokemon Go thing:



He had a giant Pikachu right in front of him, taunting him, and the Phanatic couldn't gather his wits to snag him inside a Pokeball. Instead, he walked straight into an umpire.

Well, he's definitely playing Pokemon Go.

I was near Camden Yards a couple weeks ago having lunch with a customer and when she said "baseball" I said "fatball" and she said "huh?"

You ers.

Their relief pitcher Vance Worley is 6'2" 250 and their fatass DH Pedro Alvarez is 6'3" 250.

So yeah, the Fatlimore Orioles.

[Kidd K]

Yeah, I'm not reading all that. Much less knowing that its goal is to try to sell me the idea that baseball is, somehow, a tactically complex sport.

You did read it. Don't front. At the very least you started reading it then got intimidated by the logic and facts and shut your brain off.

You simply have no legitimate reply so you're playing the gay "loldidntread" card. . .which means nothing more than you admitting you have no argument.

Midnightpulp on you guys here tbh.

You have a noodle arm or something? Throwing a baseball hard isn't difficult. As far as accuracy, the average first baseman is over 6 ft tall with a pretty large wingspan so it's not like I'd be throwing into a small pocket. I'm obviously not saying I could field anywhere near as well as an MLB shortstop....but as far as just the throw itself goes I'd easily hit a .950 rate tbh.

Yeah, throwing nobody out ever due to taking your time to make sure you never risked throwing the ball away after fielding like ?

If you're just standing there and casually throwing to the base it's not hard. . .but if you're playing SS and have to rush to your right to field a ground ball and only have a tiny window to fire off an accurate hard throw on target. . .95%? Bull . Only if all your throws don't get there in time because you took too long to get the throw off to make sure it's accurate.

In which case you have failed before the ball even left your hand.

Throwing a ball: Not hard. Just like shooting a basketball or throwing a football isn't hard. Making a proper throw or shot in a pro game with everything going on? Yeah that is hard.

[140]

That's 2 too many

for an ADD-ridden brain, maybe

and on top of that, there were 4 ties out the 8 games played today

I've never seen someone struggle this hard with the concept of a tie, tbh...I guess a game having three possible outcomes instead of two is just too much for fatball fans simpleton minds to fathom

[Caltex2]

Who can't understand it's boring to watch a scoreless tie? Even when football games tie, 9/10 they don't tie without some scoring. And instead of settling it on a field goal kicking contest, they just let it tie. At the lower levels they still play real football until there's a winner.

I started reading it and after seeing that it was the same bull that I have already on many times I got bored. Baseball is just a matchup between a guy pitching and a guy trying to get lucky by getting a hit 1 out of 3 times to be considered "elite". This game is just too limited and static to have any kind of important level of complexity. There's just not enough variables to be had.
