Finnish Baseball

Thought this was great, has a f bomb in it so keep that in mind when listening.  Sound is an absolute requirement to enjoy though.

I wonder what they could do with soccer.

How is WAR calculated?

By the German team.

2-1 odds Angel pitchers would still sprain their UCL and need Tommy John surgery

Was that upton fielding that?

Would kill to have the Finns talk about our version, and how stupid it is.

I lost it at the 1:35 mark.

I'd be in favor of placing water around all fields, regardless of the sport

In baseball the 6th tool in scouting reports would be swimming ability

[Sam Sanchez]

The podcast Effectively Wild I listen had a full episode interview with a guy that covers this sport not too long ago. Not as entertaining as the video here but was still a interesting listen and sounded equally confusing.

Every team would have Cuban outfielders.

Dammit!

Of course not everyone can swim. I just pictured a guy with one of those slick Finnish unis and my daughter's Tweety Bird arm floaties chasing a ball into the creek

I had a buddy once ask me how it was that Cuba for all it's Summer Olympics successes wasn't known for swimming.   

He finally understood why I was laughing so hard after about 15 minutes of asking me what was so funny.

I still find myself chuckling about it anytime I think about it.

It’d be a step in the right direction just to get rid of the offsides rule. But your degree of difficulty scenario is worth considering.

Nobody gonna acknowledge the Finnish guy showing up in this thread?

Adam showing up isn't that much of a rare occurrence.
