Basically what the title says. I am from Denmark, know very little about baseball except the basic rules and that the Rockies are awesome.

In Denmark nobody cares about baseball, so I am looking for someone to talk too. Will you talk with me?

    I got really into following baseball last season.

    Currently, the Rockies are tied for second to last with the Giants, White Sox, and Red Sox. Unfortunately your teams have lost as many games as my team. I’m a bit intrigued as to why someone from Denmark would follow the Rockies verses the Dodgers or Yankees? Even I can admit that Dodgers have a great team, but I live near the Giants, that is why they are my team. Are there any players on the teams that you are feeling good about?

    I’m guessing when you say you’re a Sox fan, that you mean the Red Sox? A lot of Red Sox fans ask me about my opinion on Rafael Devers. They traded him to the Giants last season, and I’m not like terribly impressed. He has helped us win a couple games recently with some RBIs, so that was exciting, but I don’t see him as our best batter, I don’t see him hitting as equal to Red Soxs fans enthusiasm for him. I hope he grows on me, but it’s been a cold start.

      Well I don’t have any connection to any team and I didn’t just want to pick a team based on them being good. And the only real “connection” I have to the US is South Park, so I decided to base it on that :p this was before I knew anything about how overall bad they were. But I don’t mind, my only problem is that all of their games are aired super late in Denmark. Which is why I follow the Red Sox, because I can actually watch those games live.

      So I am not really a Sox fan like that. But I enjoy their play style. And I am really not into the whole player thing yet. I get to watch so few games live, that I have a hard time actually remembering the players.

      What I really enjoy though is how relaxing I find the games. I can really just turn everything off inside my head and just chill and watch the game.
