@Lempo and/or any other Finns floating around, what the f*** is this? This is the national sport of Finland?

If the vertical pitch is foul (too low or fails to hit the 24 inch pitch plate), you get (1) as a freebie. So you jump to the left, and then step to the right (2).

Correct form is important, too. With your hands on your hips, you bring your knees in tight.

Don't try and Time Warp your way out of this.

Who spawned this unholy abomination? Did some drunken Finnboy watch a baseball game while blackout drunk in the middle of a week-long bender then try to explain the rules to a person who didn't actually speak any Finnish?

WHY IS THE PITCHER STANDING RIGHT NEXT TO THE BATTER????

Lauri "Grinding Wheel" Pihkala. There were prior ball hitting games that had elements from dodgeball, but the dude saw baseball and felt it's more sportsy this way.

YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU’RE KEEPING IT SLOW
NO MATTER. WHERE YOU WANNA GO, (WOULDN’T WANNA BE YOU)
GET ON IT, UP ON IT
IT’S ON, (WE’RE LIVING IN CHAOS)

Great explanation for a weird sport. This sport created for all the goalie prospects to work on their catching ability If so, the “left short stop” aint working out. You can’t bobble a routine grounder.

This is the next great hipster game. Like kickball.

Pekka Rinne agrees:
We created the ideal NHL goalie: Bobrovsky's butterfly, Rinne's glove and more

Better question is WTF is the catcher doing?

 

[Lempo]

Better question is WTF is the catcher doing?

He's a forefielder, has no role in the pitching process but catches especially the "flick" hits aimed at the front field. In pesäpallo the hitter can use all three strikes, so usually the two first are used to help the other guys who batted before you to advance between bases. A nice curved frontfield flick gives time for a guy to advance from 2 to 3.

Florida Man does some good for once. This dude is one cool motherf***er, saved his dog and didn't drop his cigar.

If you haven't already done it recently, check the battery on your car as the weather gets colder. Woke up this morning to a dead battery and the day was basically shot after that.

Because whoever designed my car had the genius idea of putting the battery behind the tire wheel, so in order to change the battery, they basically have to take apart the front of my car.

You need German engineering.

I had a Volkswagen Passat one time. The thermostat, a $20 item went bad. Took it to a garage I trusted and the guy said the only way to get at it was to remove the bumper, timing belt and a whole bunch of other stuff and if he did it, it would cost a thousand bucks. He told me to take it to a dealer because they must have a simpler and cheaper way of doing it as he didn’t want to charge me that much for a thermostat.

I took it to a dealer and they came back with the same, only more expensive. Ridiculous so I sold the car a week later. Was the last manual transmission car I owned and man was it fun to drive.

My ex had a Hyundai Accent, super easy to change the headlight BULB, just twist, pull out, replace. OH but the spout for the washer fluid tank is right behind it so you have remove the whole headlight to access it...but the headlight slides out backwards which is where the ****ing washer fluid spout is (so you have to remove the whole tank). Good 2+ hrs work to remove everything...mind you there is nothing within about 8" of that spout in any other direction they could have routed it to allow easy access to the headlight.

Cars are a prime example of what happens when individual groups work on designing parts/sub-assys but don't communicate with the OTHER groups
