I tuned into an American baseball game the other day by mistake. Firstly, like all American games the screen was awash with numbers and stats. Then the 'hitter' took a swipe at the ball and missed twice, but was given another couple of goes. I wasn't sure if he was 'out', but then just strolled to 1st base. The commentary was just gibberish. [to me, anyway]. totally weird.
