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?

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
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
