1. be patient\n2. learn to READ bowlers grip\n3. anticipate\n4. get in line of the ball..with full face of the bat\n5. wait for the ball (which is half pitched)\n6. charge the ball (which is over-pitched)

Could've been double-humiliation, or maybe they fancied a bit of batting-practice.\n\nEnglishmen everywhere unite!\nAt midnight GMT tonight perform a little rain-dance wherever you are in the world, let the gods of weather save this one for us!\n\n( I doubt we can bat out a whole day with only 5 wickets standing)

You are hearing them most probably enquiring "How is that?" of the umpire ( that is " Is he out?" ).  It can become "Zat?" or "Ows zat?". In cricket the umpire will not make a decision if not asked to.

in order for them to be out, they have to make contact with the ball.  it would just be a strike or a ball (depending on where the pitch is thrown)

Let go of the cricket bat for a few moments.

There will be a couple of iffy moments, but us Aussies should get over the line pretty comfortably. We need to shut down Peiterson and Flintoff early on.\nGO THE AUSSIES!!!

Because if he is good enough, he should be able to last 5 innings.\n\nIn the situation you described, the MLB guys will pick one pitcher that has the best persormance to give him the win.  It's usually middle reliver, but it can still be the starting pitcher.

Justin's OBP was .375.\n\nJeter's was .417 (4th in the league)....\n\nHow is .375 better than .417?\n\n\n\nAs far as fielding percentages go, no knowledgeable fan would compare the fielding percentage of a first baseman with that of a shortstop.  Jeter won the Gold Glove, at the most important defensive position.  Justin did not win the gold glove, even though he plays the easiest defensive position.\n\n\nIf you're a first baseman and you DON'T hit more HRs and drive in more runs than a shortstop, you're not going to keep your job very long. (The reason first basemen are expected to be top offensive players is because the position is so easy to play, that teams can almost always find someone who can play that postion and also hit)\n\nJustin drove in 130 runs and scored 97... Jeter drove in 97 and scored 118. Not a huge difference in run production, until you account for the fact that Justin is a first baseman, and Jeter is a shortstop. If anything, Jeter would get an edge here (Sabermetric "runs created" formula credits Justin with 125 runs created, Jeter with 123...but again, Jeter is a shortstop). However, MVP voters have always been biased toward players who drive in, as opposed to scoring, runs.\n\nDespite 11 straight division titles, the Yanks have only had 1 MVP during that time... during their four World Championship seasons, the MVP awards went to the Texas Rangers (3 times) and the Oakland A's (once).   A-Rod's winning the award in 2005 may actually have hurt Jeter's chances this year... and yes, there is a definite anti-Yankee bias in MVP voting.\n\nJeter also held the Yankees together this season and led them to the best record in the AL... despite Matsui, Shefield and Cano missing quite a bit of playing time with injuries...and depsite the fact that their pitching was TERRIBLE...\n\nJustin's RBI total is the reason he won the award.\n\nNeil D is correct in pointing out that you really couldn't go "wrong" either way...there were a few good candidates in the AL this year...but Jeter did deserve the award, imo.

You do pass them up...because every one is an opportunity man.  Picking up the signs is easy...eye contact, a smile, when they offer to buy you a drink...anything.  You will never hit the ball unless you start swinging your bat!

Is that what those ballplayers do during the off season?

its called batting disorder

hell no....he's gonna start taking batting practice within the next 5 days.  you've had him on your DL for 2-3 months and this guy wants him when he's about to come off.  don't do it!

If anyone can, it's Albert. He can get red hot in a hurry. He'll need some luck and someone to stay hot batting after him or he'll not see any strikes down the stretch.
