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?

:o that’ll be the baseball apocalypse lol
Which probably isn’t very likely since there isn’t another team in the area Colorado can root for. The diamond backs or the Astros/Rangers are options I guess but the Midwest is a little baseball team-less. They also run the risk of having the same fate as the A’s, just getting up and moved.
Copenhagen lol. She just marred her Danish now-husband and wow surprise surprise they decided Denmark might be more stable than the US rn Omg yes I’d love some must sees!
Indeed!! There are some really pretty and amazing places here. I hope you get to see some! If you do ever end up on this side of the ocean, I’ll happily send you some recommendations too :)
Yeah, but Denver! Denver. Nothing is more midwestern than Denver! It is like pure Americana. It would totally be added to your list haha! I just hope he sells to someone who actually gives a fuck - or an organisation. I don’t really know how ownerships normally work in MLB.
Copenhagen is a wonderful city. If you ever manage to visit I think you would enjoy :) and yeah it is getting a little sticky in the US right now. I really hope you manage to manage it without the whole crap collapsing.
But yeah. So baseball haha. Escapism is cool huh? Is there any pre season games on ? I feel like a need to see s new game soon. Not something that is a rerun.
Haha it’s very true!
🤞🤞🤞
Spring training starts most of the way through Feb, so soonish! Spring training games are fun too bc they don’t count for anything and most of the guys need a bunch of time to warm up after the winter break so it’s high key a mess. Teams will also bring up prospects to give them some playtime in a major league stadium so you never know what you’re going to see. I’ve always wanted to go to one but unfortunately they are all played in the south or southwest bc it’s too cold in the northern states. For example, the Sox play in Florida :/
Yeah you hardly could get any further south than Florida I guess :p but yeah that is soon! Hope to see what this new guy Lorenzen has to offer.
How is it determined who plays who then ? Is it just whoever wants to or is there also a rotation like in the proper season ?
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
