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?

Yeah that’ll be v exciting! Having a new guy to be hopeful about is so key.
Mostly it’s whoever the manager thinks needs the time. Of course, pitch count is still considered and catchers need breaks, but other than that it’s about getting as many guys as much time as they want/need. For example the Sox have some big prospects, one of whom is Christian Campbell. We saw a bit of him last year but he wasn’t really able to keep up with big league pitching so I expect we’ll see a bunch of him in spring training to give him as many opportunities as possible before the season starts.
Oh I meant like between the different teams. Like do they each team play all other teams or do they stay in there regional leagues or how does it get organised pre season ?
Oooooooooo huh that’s a good question idk. I would guess it’s decided to minimize travel but still give each team different opponents. I cant imagine the undertaking it is to schedule and coordinate all these games.
I just googled the schedule and it looks like there are some funky games too lol. The Sox play a college team and the Rockies play the “United States”.
Which lead me to the knowledge that baseball is coming back to the Olympics in 2028! Also known as: Japan v United States and also the other guys.
lol, Rockies vs the United States seems unfair :P and so does the Sox playing a college team haha. But yay! It is gonna be fun watching it in the 28 olympics! I would love to see a Danish team competing! Getting absolutely recked sure, but still :P
Btw is there ever any cross league games in the MLB ?
Haha indeed! I wonder if we’ll get some funky strategies from the countries that don’t play that much
Yup! They changed the scheduling a bit in 2023 to make sure every team plays every other team. I think it alternates on the year who is the host team. So the Sox will play the Rockies at Coors in late June this season :D
Ooooh you’re going down then.! Maybe… Hopefully… Ehm…
I forgot. Did you live in Boston ? Or were you one of the greater North Eastern area Sox fans ?
Heheh it’ll be a great series either way :p I’m excited to see the Sox play in Coors! We have a power hitter or two that could hit one heck of a homer
I live in Cambridge which is technically not Boston but it’s a 10 minute walk to Boston proper so not that separate lol
Are you ready for the air pressure ? Spinning balls tend to have a lower drop in Coors than other places! But yeah, it’s gonna be a good series. Especially now that I have a connection to the opposing team as well!
Yeah okay. I have the same situation going on, so I would say you live in Boston :p
Oh my gosh bc there is less air to push against? That’s kinda crazy! Y’all must have to take that into account when you pick pitchers. A tricksy pitcher throwing mostly curveballs and cutters would have a harder time than a speed demon. Lorenzen does seem to have his fastball as his primary pitch so that’s probably good for him.
Heheh yeah it’s usually easier to just say Boston lol
