    [4.8.08] ChuteBoxe's MLB 2008 (+2.65 Units)

    Struggling with baseball so far, and that's honestly what I expected. I normally don't start until 3 weeks into the season, but this year I bet the first game, and just kept going. Did well to start it off, slumping the past 2 days though. Looking to break the streak.

    Mets (-1.5 @ +135) risking 1 Unit
    Red Sox (-1.5 @ +130) risking 1 Unit
    Dodgers (-130) for 1 Unit

    Good luck today everyone!

    Nice. Definitely eases my mind a little. Hate going against ** in bases.

    Sweet. I really like Billingsley tonight. So I guess, either you, me, and Cee will be very happy today, or all of us will be pissed together.

    yes the green diamonds!

    what happens after 3 diamonds get green?
    ready for export? just kidding

    it means the pitcher didn't throw the ball in the official strike zone right? so what does that mean, the offensive team gets 1 point or what?

    The diamonds are the three base. first base, second base, and third base.

    Here's a good website on the rules of baseball...

    3 diamonds??? Do you mean the indicator usually by the score on top of the screen that tells you if men are on base???

    That tells you how many balls (outside of the strike zone shown above) have been thrown against that batter. If a pitcher throws 4 of them, it's an automatic first base (called a walk) for the batter, without having to make contact with the ball. But if a pitcher gets 3 strikes (obviously inside the strike zone), before you hit the ball, you sit down, and someone else tries. When the pitcher sits down 3 guys (no hits or walks), it's the next team's turn, against the opposing team's pitcher.

    I play more sides than totals, but I play totals at least twice a week. Btw, no problem bud, glad to have helped.
