I live in Atlanta and you should see the whining by the republicans. They are trying to blame the democrats for losing the game. I wrote to two of the senate candidates who are running to take out Warnock. I told them that baseball is played by republicans and the owners are republican and they made a decision to move it. I let them know that they buckled like the republican party buckled to Trump.

Not a game situation, the guys pitching are trying to give them good chances of hitting it (instead of the usual opposite), and the guys hitting are swinging for the fences on every pitch (not always the case in game situations), all to show off optimal home run hitting prowess for the fans. They make up some arbitrary rules to keep score between the hitters so there can be a "champion."
