I don't understand. Do you mean this thing?
An American league of any sport, you put the visiting team on the left or the upside, like Astros being up now and they are visiting
You do it different than the rest of the world
No, he means the home team is always second
Right now in the WS, LA are at home, but it's "Houston vs LA", in every other country it's the home team first
we do it phonetically. Astros at Dodgers. simple.
here we'd just say "dodgers astros" and everyone knows it's a dodgers vs astros game taking place in los angeles
I am confused
Are we talking dugouts
In baseball, the home team bats second.
That's why they say "at" so there's no misunderstanding, they don't say "vs"
No they bat last
in English we read left to right
That's what I said you retard
>phonetically
what?
That's because we say (away team) at )home team)
>In baseball, the home team bats second.
Wow u r dum
It is considered polite and being a good host to let a guest have preferred treatment, i.e. to go first. You're showing graciousness as a host letting the other team go first. That's the theory anyway.
>two teams bat
>the away team bats first
>the home team bats second
What about this is so hard to understand for you? It's not a particularly complicated rule
It's because the road team in baseball bats first so it makes more sense. I would imagine every other sport just adopted the same standard to keep it consistent.
People will tell you it's because we say Away team at Home team, but that was just an adaptation after the fact
Actually they bat18th
