You could always try the Rays. coincidentally my home team They've always played money ball not spending enormous amounts of money for individual players and figured out ways to do relatively well.
"Is there a team that's not doing so well that's an underdog I can get behind?" You've described the Seattle Mariners entire history. We've never been to a World Series and only to the playoff like 5 times in 40 or so years. If enjoy dying inside every time you turn on the TV the Mariners are the team to watch.
Red Sox. Become a Red Sox fan. They're good enough to win every so often, but a lot of times they are really bad... But when they're good they're amazing
while usually not an underdog my favorite team is the new york yankees who have the most championships in SPORTS after the glasglow rangers, 54, (did a bit of google) but that isnt even top tier soccer like the the premier league
if you wanna root for an underdog right not the new york mets are surprisingly good with matt "the dark knight" harvey being the ace (you're number one starting pitcher)
or you could go with the world's most underdog team the chicago cubs who have been a pretty bright spot in the mlb this season. the last time they won a world series was in 1908
but whatever you do, despise the red sox with all that you are. they are evil incarnate, the antichrist what with their beantown nickname and their constant use of the word wicked. may they burn in the fires mordor
also try watching the world baseball classic. it's very exciting and pretty much the world cup of baseball but you know, nowhere near the popularity exccept in the dominican republic where baseball is king
Unfortunately MLB doesn't stream their games without you paying for it. You could subscribe for that at MLB.com . Not sure how it works in other countries but a friend of mine (he's a sorry Giants fan) did that and he was able to stream to his Xbox, phone, etc. I guess the best way to follow is to start at MLB.com and go from there.
Good luck and go Dodger Blue!
They're a well established team form the city of Los Angeles. I grew up in Southern Californina in the 80's and they were a great team back then. I wouldn't call them an underdog though. If you really want an underdog go with the Chicago Cubs. They haven't won a world series in like 100 years and they seem to be cursed.
A hit is anytime the batter safely reaches first base or goes beyond it after hitting the ball into fair territory. As such, all doubles, triples, and homeruns are hits.
A 10-yard touchdown reception? The terms aren't mutually exclusive and it's the same case here. In commentary and so on, getting to first and first only may well be referred to as a 'base hit' and nothing else. However the definition of a hit is getting safely to first after hitting the ball into fair territory, thus doubles, triples and homeruns count as hits. Even rounding first safely and being tagged out at second counts as a hit. You could simply call a hit that gets a batter to first a 'single' and that removes the ambiguity. At any rate, I think the network displayed it as '1st career hit' just to emphasise how dank it is for a player's first hit in the majors to be a HR.
First homerun in Majors would imply he has gotten a hit before because no one would think that his first hit was a homerun
although it would make sense to say hit and homerun
