Hey, fellow Americans. I want to watch and learn about baseball. Can you give some tips for a guy who doesn't know shit? Can you list some YT videos, books, documentaries, movies, articles, anything interesting about the world of American baseball? Thanks.
>fellow Americans
But you're Brazilian

Don't waste your time lad
>>69269493
Shit "sport" desu
>>69269493
Watch Major League 1 and 2 then become a glorious Indians fan
>>69275205
this 2bh
There is literally no point learning about ersatz cricket.
>>69275205
I don't know, man. Seems a very "scientific" game, and the "attire" is awesome (my favorite in all sports).
Try reading some baseball novels so you can be entertained and learn about the game as well. The Brothers K is a good place to start.

The Simpsons 3x17 - "Homer at the Bat"
The Great American Novel by Philip Roth.

play mlb the show
>>69269493
just watch the sport. You should be a Mets fan, they're the good guy team.
What differentiates baseball from other sports is the large quantity and high quality of the statistics. There are books on it and shit but you need to actually watch it first
ken burns baseball
>>69275160
This is the definitive answer.
Also watch the all star game coming up
Ken Burns baseball is some retarded ass shit. Don't watch Ken Burns anything unless you're learning to be stupid.
You should watch all the baseball kino, A League of their own, field of dreams, sandlot, bad news beara, angels in the outfield, moneyball, for love of the game.
Also check out fangraphs.com, moneyball book, bill james, and "the book," to learn more about sabermetrics which is now dominant in front offices.
>>69269493
Come watch tigers games with us and we can help learn by answering questions. We also post memes
>>69275255
If you like being a nerd and creaming about muh sabrmetrics, then baseball is your game
>>69269493
Most games last like 4 hours. It gets pretty boring in the long run because every team plays 3-5 times per week and most times consecutively against the same team
The worst out of of all the burger's sports
It's only played here by schoolgirls who were too scared / lazy to play real sports during PE, except they call it Rounders instead
>>69275969
That's a good thing though. Basically any day you can watch. If you don't want to, then you don't have to
If you're worried about length of game brazilbro, NEVER be a Yankees or Red Sox fan. Those teams always take forever to play.
>>69275969
most games last about 3 hours
and they play 6-7 times per week
>>69276000
Can you guys for just one thread keep this low quality shitposting to a minimum? Dude wants to learn about a sport. Go circlejerk to your USA vs the world sports threads somewhere else.
>>69276038
No he doesn't, he wants to learn about Baseball
>>69276060
Yeah, he wants to learn about a sport he doesn't know much about. Your post adds nothing of quality to the thread. Go circlejerk in /trans/ or something
>>69276000
>scared
I don't know what the fuck rounders is, but baseball is easily the scariest sport to play. 95 mph balls fucking hurt
>>69276123
That's a beautiful of baseball. Have a fastballer throw a pitch inside to brush the player off the plate and have him pooping his pants a bit.
>>69276153
Had the ball ever hit the eye of a professional batter?
ken burns baseball in one sitting
>>69276123
You should considering Baseball came from Rounders, both invented by us but 200 years apart
>>69276082
Go back to >>/asp/
take your shit tier cricket for even bigger faggots with you
>>69276252
Yeah I think Vogelsong of the SF Giant did and I remember one of my tigers got hit in the orbital on a ground ball in spring training. I think Cabrera maybe
@69276285
What do you mean "back"? MLB makes more money than your league btw
>>69276285
Thanks for your wonderful input Nigel but we can take it from here, go back to crying about losing at a sport you invented and surprisingly care about to a fucking dentist and his Viking squad.
>>69276123
>>69276153
>he's never watched cricket
aiming at people is a thing that's allowed and done regularly
and the ball is harder
>>69276404
Where in my post did I ever trash on cricket? This thread is about a Brazilian inquiring about baseball. What is with people always being so defensive about their sports? Go make a cricket thread if you must discuss about it.
Finally I found a sorta structured teaching series on YT. The channel is called "Sport for Dummies" (also, I got "Baseball for Dummies" PDF).

>>69276427
just saying that cricket is scarier
What's the most exciting teams right now?
>>69276317
That's how you're comparing this? God you're a faggot, one league =/= a whole sport, football makes more money than baseball if that's the logic we're going by
>>69276339
It doesn't matter to me because I've grown up accepting the NT will flop, but it's still important enough to you that you can remember results from games while I, and everyone else outside of America, couldn't give two flying fucks about any games in this deadbeat sport
If it wasn't for me shitposting this thread would be plummeting to page 10, stay irrelevant and thanks for the (You)'s, goodnight you fat fucks
>>69276564
None
>>69276564
Cleveland is pretty exciting and I would say the Cubs are a good watch
>>69276564
texas rangers are the plucky underdogs that every one secretly roots for
That British post above me just feels like an underaged child screaming for attention. Not even going to give him the (you)
>>69276721
can i have it instead
Friendly reminder that baseball is nerfed cricket dumbed down for the American consumer.
>>69276765
have one on the house
>>69276786
nigga there is no way you can argue cricket is more tactical. I've watched it quite a bit because its the ultimate comfy sport but its literally just bouncing a ball and hitting. Only tactics = where to put fielders. Baseball has the fielding aspect and more
>>69276869
tnx
>>69276564
you should probably root for the royals since they just won the world series and have a brazilian guy on their team
@69276786
And this isn't a thread about cricket so way to show your insecurity.
>2016
>liking baseball
Baseball will die 10 years after in most of world.
Only old people like this shit
Baseball has the deepest lore of any major north American sport. It will take a long time to garner the knowledge to speak anything but superficially about the game. You need to read about it and play the game to really be on the inside. Watching games will only take you so far.
>>69275470
This.
Baseball is boring as fuck.
>>69277004
Don't you guys get new material? You've been saying this for years.
