The Fundamentals of Baseball

Baseball is a team sport in which two teams compete against each other over nine innings in which each team attempts to score runs. It is always the home team that bats second (in the “bottom” of the inning), and it is always the visiting team that bats first (in the “top” of the inning)

At the beginning of each innings, the batting team sends one player, known as the hitter or batter, in turn, to the plate (known as a “at bat”) until three hitters are “out,” while the pitching team has nine players on the field trying to prevent them from scoring by striking out. The tenth inning is played if the scores are tied at the end of nine innings, and if necessary, the eleventh, and so on until the game is decided (both halves of the extra inning have to be completed before the game is resolved, if both teams score a run in the tenth, then an eleventh is played, etc). Baseball is a sport in which there are no ties.

Running backs score runs when they reach home base after touching first, second, and third base before advancing to home plate. At any given …

Baseball Pitching Tips: How You Communicate With Your Teammates Is Very Important!

Never neglect this very important part of playing excellent baseball. Throwers must communicate with all of their fielders, especially their catchers. As a pitcher, you will get tremendous benefits.

I can write forever about the need for good communication for pitchers with all of his teammates. This is not something that is taught very often but can affect the outcome of a baseball game.

What could be more frustrating than losing the game because a catcher was crossed out and missed the court because he thought a fast ball was being thrown and was surprised by a curve ball? Or lose the match because the infielder throws the ball while throwing it at the base where he has no chance of getting a runner anyway? These are just two examples of breakdowns in communication.

Talk on the baseball field and then talk even more!

Throwers can be of great help to both the catcher and the infielder. On a pop up or flying ball, he should shout and point. On the ground away from the catcher, shouting and pointing.

Talking about the ball moving away from the catcher and the catcher not finding the ball, this is what happened back …

Running 10k Races Will Help You Become A Better Runner

When you first start running you do it for fun. Maybe you started out as a jogger and after a while you want to take your run to a different space. One of the best ways to do this is by running 5K or 10K races.

A lot of people start out by running a 5K or 10K race because that means you really have to train instead of running just for fun. As people become healthier by jogging this type of racing appears to be within the reach of their fitness goals.

Motivation is another reason to run races. You’ll stay motivated even longer because you’ve decided to do something more involved. The 10K race is also very challenging, so it takes runners who are flexible and able to change as needed.

Some experienced runners use intervals as a way to move towards their goal of the 10K race. They …

Live Score NBA – Celtics Hand Spurs Lost Again

The Boston Celtics saw their 12-game winning streak beaten by the Los Angeles Lakers. And they also have a record-fixing 19 match-winning streak stopped last Christmas by the same team.

Boston Celtics Basketball

After they lost to the Lakers the first time, they suddenly got into the tailspin and suffered six defeats with some of them coming from struggling teams. This time, the Celtics won against the New York Knicks their first basketball game after losing to the Lakers for the second time. Will Boston repeat its misfortune show and start losing once again?

Boston took on the well-rested San Antonio Spurs at their homecourt, Banknorth Garden but were beaten by the oldest team in the NBA with a basketball result of 105-99. The Spurs scored 11 points in the last 40 seconds to win the game.

Roger Mason scored three pont field goals with 20.4 seconds remaining to give San Antonio the upperhand. Manu Ginobili then hit four free throws before Mason added a pair as Spurs increased their distance from Boston. It was the Spurs’ ninth win in 11 games.

Tim Duncan led the Spurs with 23 points and 13 rebounds. Rarely used Matt Bonner to score his …

Bet on NBA with Boston Celtics in Atlanta Hawks

It looks like it’s the last major playoff run for Boston’s “Big Three” when the Celtics open the postseason against hosts the Atlanta Hawks on Sunday. Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett (34 and 35 respectively) are getting longer in gear and more prone to injury distraction, and it goes the same for keeper Ray Allen (36).

Even if the Celtics’ fourth seed has an experiential advantage in the playoffs, it looks like the Atlanta Hawks have the power to send the Celtics off.

The Boston Celtics won two of the three regular season meetings.

Boston Celtics (39-27)

The Celtics don’t know the answer if Allen can play until close to match time. The veteran keeper has injured his right ankle and missed the last nine games of the regular season, which was a tragedy for the team.

Pierce sympathized with Allen’s sadness. “It’s always frustrating when you sit outside,” said Pierce. “Ray …

The Celtics are back!

Tuesday June 17 final night will be remembered as one of the greatest nights for the Celtics, for the city of Boston and for NBA basketball itself. It was a night where the great Boston made history again, where every basketball fan couldn’t help reminiscing about the golden era of the Celtics and the meaningful legacy they left behind in the sport. Since this season’s Playoffs Finals is set between the all-time rivals the Los Angeles Lakers and the Boston Celtics, it is hoped that it will be a great final, full of memories and emotions. And that’s what happened.

Who is the highest paid Celtics player?

The NBA Championship Final series has kept the crowd on the edge of their seats since Game 1, when Boston briefly thought about losing its captain Paul Pierce when he collided with team-mate Kendrick Perkins and had to be sued and taken out in a wheelchair with an injured knee midway through the third quarter.

However, Pierce returned in the final quarter when there were only 5:04 minutes remaining in the game, which inspired his team to finish with their first win of the series. They also secured a home-court advantage winning Game …

NBA LIVE – Allen 3 pointer Give Boston 12th Victory

The Boston Celtics are in action once again. But this time, the team needed Ray Allen to put pressure on a three-point basket to ensure that the Celtics did win. Allen took a pass from Paul Pierce and attempted a three-pointer baseline with 0.5 seconds remaining to hand the Celtics their 12th straight win by squeaking 100-99 past the Philadelphia 76ers on Tuesday night.

Philadelphia shooting guard Andre Igoudala had just hit a fading away jumper to score a straight basketball 99-97 lead for the Sixers who had the entire fourth period lead except during the final buzzer.

Ray Allen and the Deadliest Three-Point Shooter

Pierce really did all the bait work when he faked a defender, then dribbled up the three-point bow then passed the ball to Allen who was waiting for the pass. The Celtics three-point specialist immediately drowned another as he wowed the Sixers.

Kevin Garnett missed the action for a second straight playing day but it didn’t matter as much as two great friends Garnett Allen and Pierce proved the duo were better than the other five teams. The Celtics are coping well without Garnett in the line-up as the team has won eight straight games …

Boston Best sports city

Each year there is debate about which US city is the most dominant in all the major sports leagues. While Boston has been in constant discussion this year they have truly cemented themselves as the best unsexable sports city in the US.

Let’s start with the Red Sox.

The Red Sox have had an exciting journey towards their dominating 2018 season. They last won the World Series in 2013 and since then have been decent but inconsistent. This year is very different from the acquisition of the slugger JD Martinez and the emergence of Mookie Betts as one of the league’s best players overall. The Red Sox was not only great this year but absolutely incredible. With the thrill coming from the back of the win and hot play with the Yankees, there’s no denying that there’s something special about this Red Sox team. When they beat the Dodgers in the World Series last October it became clear to not only Boston fans but the rest of the country that this is actually the best team in baseball. With hardly anyone leaving during the offseason the Red Sox are poised to continue their dominance this season.

Now the Patriots.
