Oh, look! Jon and Henry are back with Part II of Absolute Beginners: The Absolute Bunts Guide to Baseball!

Jon and Henry are back with Season Two of everyone's favourite non-baseball baseball podcast. They're kicking off with a mini-series, though. On June 29-30th, MLB is coming to Europe for the first time in its history. To celebrate this fact, Jon and Henry are running a mini-series that covers the absolute basics of the game. By the time you finish listening to these three (or four) episodes, we promise you, you will know enough about the sport to be able to enjoy both games of the London Series.

Through the course of the series, we will walk you through twenty absolute fundamentals that you need to know to understand the game. These are broken into three main areas:

THE GAME

THE LEAGUE

THE KNOWLEDGE

In Part II, we cover the second five of these absolute basics which come within THE GAME section:

6. The batter is trying to get runs, on base or walks  (6:47 mins) 

7. The fielders are trying to get batters out once they become runners (21:44 mins) 

SEVENTH INNING STRETCH (32:29 mins)

8. Teams are made up of nine players (with some relief players) (36:12 mins) 

9. The American League has Designated Hitters (but soon the National League will too) (56:18 mins)

10. There are some basic strategies that you should know (1:03:24)

Enjoy!
