Why isn't baseball popular in Europe?

Wtf is pepsicolo

Wait so you just hit a tossed up ball? Holy fuck american high school varsity players would dominate this hitting them out every swing

Hitting the ball outside is a foul, unless it bounces atleast once in the field.

You're not allowed to hit it out of bounds in a huge arc like in baseball, because the ball has to hit the ground within the playing area before leaving it, so the way you swing at the ball is a bit different than in baseball. It's more about aiming where to go with the ball.

but yeah, it's a lot easier to hit it

a sport where you hit a ball with a stick

terrible sport, baseball fans are the most insecure posters on Yea Forums right now tbqh

Man 3rd worlders come up with some gay ass shit. Like americans do to but we don’t tale it seriously. We just put it in shitty movies starring ray ramono or cart-man or ben stiller

because it's a sport for fat arses

same reasons why american football or cricket are inexistent

Because good sports are simple and instantly understandable by even 5-year old children
>n-no fuck you brainlet
You know it's true.

The baseball lineup is full of different types of hitters. While it certainly may look like it's just swing away from the highlights that's not reflective of the actual situation. Any decent hitter at least at the end of his high school years and in his college years can place a hit from a pitch like that. We actually do drills. Only we don't throw the ball like a fucking girl when we do it. A guy like Dustin Pedroia would eat you alive in a game like that.

Because it's shit.

Sure he would. We are unbeaten.

Same reason why other American sports aren't popular - it's boring and unathletic as fuck

Playing baseball is fun. Watching baseball is a sleepy warm weather drinking activity and we already have cricket for that.

I'd love for baseball/softball/rounders to be more popular here and for Euros to be competitive at the World Championships desu. Along with Basketball it's a sport played in almost every country and just needs a little push to become a legit world sport like Football.

basketball is popular in your country tho

Redpill me on softball, Americans

It's a thot sport

but you also have to be able to run

Baseball is a type of sport fat dads playing with their kids at the back yard.
Kids in Europe prefer to occupy at sport grounds and play team sports

Because, as with all American sports excepting basketball, it’s a poorly plagiarised version of an English pastime packaged into an artificial market and relentlessly commercialised.

We play Pétanque

so, it's ideal to hit a 1-2 bouncer into the creek(especially after a rainstorm).

it's better than soccer

based pesäpallo

Why is it that white girls who play sports have yellow teeth? Too much Gatorade?

Because it's boring

Sport for hot girls.

Played - yes. Popular? Not really. I am 27 and throughout school, college and hanging out I have met only 3 people watching and being interested in basketball. Compared to football, tennis and handball, interest is almost non-existent. It's definitely much more popular than American football or baseball though, I'll give you that. It's not considered an obscure sport like those and every bigger city will have a basketball club

they're poor and you need to buy equipment to play

>river cam

It's gaining popularity here and our national team is really good. We have a few Caribbean islands in our kingdom where they play baseball as #1 sport so naturally they end up in our national team. Curacao has the most talented baseball players per square kilometers in the world.

You can't play baseball with that few people lol. Playing catch with a baseball is not at all playing the game.

Why are they wearing pajamas?

Not with that nose

Baseball didn't evolve out of cricket. Folk forms of baseball are actually older than the bat-and-ball form of cricket you know today.

Continental Europe (for the most part, as I know Pesapallo is popular in Finland and baseball is somewhat fringe in the Netherlands) can't comprehend sports that don't follow the derivative and boring goal sport game design, where it's two teams of players running/skating around a rectangle trying to kick, throw, or hit an object into a net. If the sport in question doesn't somewhat resemble povertyball in design, Continentals can't comprehend it. It's no wonder basketball (i.e. vertical hand-soccer) is the only American sport to gain popularity there. Popular team sports in Europoor land:

>Soccer
>Basketball (vertical hand soccer)
>Handball (hand soccer)
>Waterpolo (water hand soccer)
>Ice hockey (ice soccer with sticks)
>Field hockey (grass soccer with sticks)
>Rugby (only in France and maybe Italy - slightly different than soccer, but still a "flow" sport where two teams are trying to move a ball "into" a goal)

yes it did nigga, wiki the shit

>You
>Calling a sport Boring as compared Baseball

The state of (You). Baseball is the most boring sport aside fucking golf

No it didn't. Until the early 19th century, cricket wasn't a bat-and-ball sport. The central part of the game involved a "bowler" actually rolling the ball on the ground toward his opponent who used a cudgel that resembled a field hockey stick.

Baseball was mentioned as early as 1755 in English print and we have clear evidence in the painting I showed of a bat-and-ball folk game that looks a hell of a lot more like baseball than cricket being played by 15th century Spaniards.

Only aspect of cricket that baseball took was some terminology (runs, outs, innings, etc).

why are euros so gay? seriously what is going on over there

That's kind of the way old timey baseball was played. They indeed used to throw it slowly underhand, and there was usually no fencing to hit the ball over for a quick homerun.

>those helmets

Yea on second thought you guys should just stick with what you got

2nd world - England France Germany etc
3rd world - Everyone else

He probably means rounders not cricket.

Yuros couldn't comprehend it. The only sports they like are kick the ball at net, kill man with the ball, and meme sports

Cricket is just home run derby at the core it's very simple. That's why poos can play it

Actually callled Boboll in Swedish

Baseball is fun as fuck, wish it was more popular here. Cricket is more aussie but quite frankly its shit

It's a meme, you dip. Everything is third world.

thinken of founding the argentine association of pesapallo and making ez money

wtf I love pesäpallo now

we have a spot called rounders which little kids play at school. everyone grows out of it by 13-14 though.

Yeah here that's also our go to sport that we use as an excuse to stand around and drink beer.

This looks so fun and genuine.
Normally you'd have to be mental to just dive in the river for no reason, but here since you are competing and you want your team to win you just go straight for it, no second thought, it's so primal and childish, I love it.

>you'd have to be mental to just dive in the river for no reason
tbf it's just a little canal
doesnt take an absolute doopin madman to get in there

Ball is out of the playfield, should have been a double. Also defending team is retarded by not covering the area.

Hard to play or watch a sport that doesn't exist for 99.99% of the population. There are literally five baseball fields in this country, and three of them were built after 2016. National stadium fits about 40 people from the looks of this extremely HQ photo from the field's Facebook page.
