More Reasons Why I'm Dumb

ok, I don't really think I'm dumb, but I make my fair share of dumb mistakes. Maybe other people make just as many or more and don't fess up.

So anyway, I'm in this bar watching the world series. I ask some guy why the pitcher is batting. No response. I ask again. He just says "national league home game", and it's kind of obvious that I don't know shit about baseball.

Well, I guess it's no wonder, since I'm not a baseball fan. Looked kinda dumb though.

 

LOL I love how the guy really didn't want to be bothered answering the question.

 

it was either "I don't want to waste my time with you" or an act of mercy, hoping I'd just let the whole thing go and no one would notice

 

Am I dumb for asking what a pitcher is?

 

no, you're just from the netherlands

europeans aren't really into baseball too much

 

Yeah baseball isn't big here. Or more like it, it is non-existent here as far as I know. Thanks for the link though, I might study it when I have some time.

 

Nobody is perfect

 

Thanks, now everything suddenly makes sense.

 

Maybe just happy?


The national league doesn't use DH, only American league. When National league and American League play eachother, the rules of the home team apply.

 

The home team can set their own rules?
This is just getting weirder.

 

baseball is weird like that

 

No they don't "set their own rules." The rules have been set for them a long time ago

I love Nirvana and I don't care if people say they are overrated.

 

In baseball, the designated hitter rule is the common name for Major League Baseball Rule 6.10,[1] adopted by the American League in 1973. The rule allows teams to have one player, known as the designated hitter (abbreviated DH), to bat in place of the pitcher. Since 1973, most collegiate, amateur, and professional leagues have adopted the rule or some variant. MLB's National League and Nippon Professional Baseball's Central League are the most prominent professional leagues that do not use a designated hitter.
