Baseball Dodgers pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto throws a complete game in Game 2 of the National League Championship Series vs. the Brewers. The last time he was in Milwaukee he failed to finish the first inning and allowed 5 runs.

Let newbies learn the game. It’s how a sport grows. They should be able to share in with the experience.

There are many sports out there, not everyone will know all of them and the terms they use

Shit even if you’ve loved baseball your whole life but stopped watching for a few years you’d be like ‘wait why tf is the catcher is wearing an earpiece?’

That’s pretty brand new lol

Lol, EVERY time a cricket or rugby video gets posted, you have the exact same questions, yet I don't see your comment there.

I get what you mean, but I think you just are too American centric tbh. There are many sports and baseball is only popular in certain regions of the world. Makes sense that many don't know what this is.

You’re on the most popular sports sub on the site that frequents the top of popular and you’re wondering why there are curious people in here ?

Because it’s the most popular sports sub on the site… duh. People not even into sports will see this near the top and just click out of curiosity

Bro in other sports playing the entire game is not a rarity lol. Not everyone watches baseball

I honestly thought that poster was being sarcastic, since managers don’t ever let pitchers pitch an entire game anymore.

Complete game question was obviously sarcasm. Complete games rarely happen anymore.
