can you explain the batting line up and how innings are ended?

hi guys!!!! ive been gone for a really long while but i wanted to answer this question :)

the batting lineup is basically the order of how the hitters of one team are going to hit. there can be nine batters in one lineup. after the ninth hitter bats, it goes back to the first hitter. since each team gets 27 outs across nine innings while hitting, each hitter gets at least three at bats, but they typically get about four at bats per game. a designated hitter (DH) is a hitter that doesnt play the field, but will hit in the spot of the pitcher. a DH is almost always used in major league baseball, but may vary depending on international leagues.

the batting order is often constructed like this:

the first batter (lead off man) is often the batter who gets on base the most, whether by getting hits or getting walks. when batting first, you get the most at bats. this is also to try and get a runner on base for the next few hitters.

the second, third, and fourth hitters are often the strongest hitters of your lineup. this is so they get more at bats than the bottom of the lineup, but also there is a higher chance of runners being on base when they hit extra base hits (doubles, triples, and home runs).

the fifth through ninth hitters in the lineup are weaker hitters than the hitters before them, ensuring the best hitters get the most at bats. here, you will tend to see players that are stronger at defense than they are offense and fast runners who don't hit many home runs. in leagues without a designated hitter, the pitcher almost always bats ninth. this is because pitchers spend most of their time practicing pitching instead of hitting, and are almost always weaker hitters than the rest of the team's batters. however, shohei ohtani of the los angeles angels is a fantastic hitter AND pitcher! he often hits at the top of the lineup for his team. this is incredibly rare and really special to see. babe ruth was also a player who excelled at both.

each inning is separated into two halves: the top and the bottom. the top of the inning is when the away team bats and the home team plays the field. the bottom is when the home team bats and the away team plays the field. you will often see the term "home field advantage" thrown around in baseball circles, and this is because the home team always has the last at bats of a game since they hit in the bottom of the inning, so they will always have one last chance. if the home team is leading by the bottom of the ninth inning, the game is over without them having to bat. a walk off win happens when the home team scores the game winning run in the ninth inning or later, ending the game. there are nine innings in every regulated game, but sometimes in school leagues they will play anywhere from five to nine innings. however, if the game is tied by the end of the ninth inning, the game will keep going until a) the away team scores a run in the top of the inning and the home team doesnt score any in the bottom of the inning or b) the home team scores a run in the bottom of the inning. the longest game in major league baseball history was 26 innings! essentially, there is unlimited "overtime" and a baseball game will almost never end in a tie.

each half inning consists of three outs. outs are any plays where the hitter doesnt reach base: these can be strikeouts, caught balls, or ground balls that the fielders throw to first base before the batter reaches it. getting caught stealing is also an out. the away team has three outs in the top of the inning, the home team three in the bottom. batters will keep coming to the plate until they create three outs. sometimes, the entire lineup (or more) will bat in one inning! here's an example of what half of an inning looks like:

Batter A hits a single and reaches first base.

Batter B strikes out (1 OUT).

Batter C walks.

Batter D hits a home run.

Batter E flies out to right field (2 OUTS).

Batter F hits a double and reaches second base.

While Batter G is at bat, Batter F is caught stealing third base (3 OUTS) (INNING ENDS).*

*if a runner is caught stealing and ends an inning, the batter who was at the plate when they were caught stealing will restart their at bat when the next inning starts.

an inning ends after both teams have a chance to both hit and play the field.

i hope this helps!!! if you (or anyone else) have any other baseball questions, please don't hesitate to ask!

“Matt,” You began, walking into his office. You stopped when you saw he was on the phone, but he beckoned you in. He held up one finger, signaling for you to wait, and sent a smile your way. You smiled too, of course. 

These days, it seemed like everything Matt did made you smile. Every joke, every compliment, even every brush of skin. The most mundane things, even him simply saying your name, sent goosebumps down your spine. 

Eventually you realized it was him that made you smile, not the things he did. 

Him.

(1) 

It starts when you are paired up with Hitoka Yachi for the upcoming history project. Second year, and your shoes pad against the classroom floor as you approach the blonde with a smile and wave. “Yachi, hi,” you greet, stopping when you’re in front of her desk. She looks up from her notebook, where she smiles up at you. “Should we talk about when to meet up and work on the project?” 

The aforementioned project assigned to you by the teacher is a simple one, just to write up a paper about a specific period of time in Japanese history—a time period given to you. You aren’t that well-acquainted with the girl, you just know that she’s the current manager for the Karasuno Volleyball team and that keeps her at school until late-hours of the day.

haikyuu men who hear wedding bells when you ask them to cum inside of you

"you're close, aren't you?" he can tell with the way your walls twitch around him when he pushes his palm down on the small of your back, arching your body further so the tip of his dick can reach that one velvety spot inside of you that has you seeing stars, "yeah, you are."

you shakily reposition your elbows on the bed and push your ass back against his groin, a hitched moan escaping your throat when you feel his balls slap against your puffy clit with every thrust into you. he replies back with a low groan of his own and tilts his head back, your pretty whimpers of his name and tight cunt gripping him like a vice being enough to get him close to his release.

"gonna- fuck- gonna pull out now, 'kay?"

when he cums, he's going to spill on your back, or your stomach, or your tits, like he always does, but your mind and body think otherwise. it's a risky decision you thought out beforehand, but confirmed in a split second that feels so mind-blowing that you can't do anything but want to follow through with it, "no! d-don't!"

a groan falls from his lips, his grip on your hips tightening to the point where you thought if his nails were any longer, they would've drawn blood, "you c-can't play around like that."

"not playing. please- ngh- w-wanna feel you in me, wanna feel you fill me up-"

"fuck, fuck, fuck," the underhead of his dick throbs violently, and he feels a surge work its way down his body. his hips stutter as his thrusts become more erratic; somehow faster and harder than before, the sheer power of him driving into you sending the bed frame lurching forward into the wall.

you reach back and place your trembling hand on his, nudging your trembling one under his, "cum in me, please, please, please! wanna be yours, y-you'll make me your girl, won't you?" your question is a soft purr, and that just about seals the deal.

a guttural moan of your name falls from his lips as he empties himself inside of you with seemingly never-ending pumps of his seed. you cum with him, your orgasm finally making its way under your skin as a tremor.

after he comes down from his high, he collapses next to you on the bed, surprised to find that he's still grasping onto your hand; but more surprised to see his thumb rubbing over your ring finger, almost as if it was searching for something that wasn't there, "i'll make you my girl."

oh dear god so i do have a humiliation kink

Being friends with benefits with both Hanamaki and Matsukawa, but neither of them knows you’re sleeping with the other too. Makki is fun in bed, jokes here and there, giggles, it isn’t a very serious matter but he always makes sure you enjoy yourself. Mattsun is more serious, focused entirely on losing yourselves in the pleasure and making sure he doesn’t hurt you with his horsecock. Both of them are kinky, teasing little shits, so every night is a whole new experience.

Keeping this secret from them is not much of an issue, you don’t see them at the same time often enough for it to be worrying. But when you do, they tease you when the other has their back turned or is in another room. This all comes to a head one day, when Makki asks Mattsun about his sex life, clearly just wanting to brag about the fun you two had last night. Both boys talk about this one person they’ve been seeing, they’re gorgeous, perfect even. They have the prettiest moans, look great in any position and always feels amazing. You know they’re talking about you, with the way they keep side eyeing you but it seems as though they haven’t caught on.

That’s what you thought an hour ago, now they’re showing you the various videos of you sucking their dicks, or getting fucked from behind that they’ve sent each other. They’re reading out dirty texts you’ve sent them, and ones about you they’ve sent each other. All while you’re spit roasted on their cocks, whining and crying from humiliation and arousal. Makki and Mattsun knew from day one, you’re too perfect in bed to not brag about but they wanted to see how long you’d keep this secret. Now they’ve got you all to themselves for the night, and they’re going to make you regret not letting this secret out sooner.

HBSJSB OK BAE I GOTCHU ! <3

it’s very much a simple two step process with yamaguchi the moment his phone pings with a notification from you. at first, he’s ridiculously excited. the moment he sees your name a small, shy smile paints his lips, and his heart flutters in his chest as one’s would with a stupid, silly crush on their best friend. although he’s out with friends, he excuses himself momentarily, claiming he needed to go buy a water bottle but really— he just wants to luxury of talking to you privately, without interruptions or teasing remarks.

he waits to open the message until he buys the water, the same way you would save the best piece of a crêpe or a cinnamon roll for last, dragging it out as much as you can. once the bottle’s tucked safely underneath his arm, he unlocks his phone, and opens the message.

the water bottle immediately drops to the ground.

and so, naturally, the second step is complete shock (with a wave of lust, of course).

there you are, in all your glory, leaning over the counter in your bathroom in some frilly, transparent and lacy lingerie, a confident smile on your face, your hips angled slightly and your breasts pressed close together because of your arms. your skin looks so— so soft, so smooth, so pretty. his mouth goes a little dry at the thought of his lips kissing and sucking and marking all over, painting you pink and purple and his. it’s what reminds him of the water bottle dropped on the ground, of the fact that he’s in public.

immediately, he locks the phone, and turns around, heading straight to the bathroom.

had you meant to send that? did you dress up for him, knowing he’d like it? well he does. he really likes it. if that’s what you were going for. he can’t even begin to imagine what it’d feel like taking it off you, slowly stripping you bare, unhooking the bra, trailing kisses down your chest, your stomach, to where the pretty panties sit perfect on your hips, pulling them down, down, down, kissing further, dipping lower, tasting you—

he chokes, hands fumbling with the phone and the bottle and the door handle. he rushes into a stall as quick as he can, locking it behind him, pressing against the door. he can’t stop thinking about you, and his hands tingle with the need and desperate desire to touch you, feel you, mark you.

“fuck,” he whispers to himself, blinking slowly. he repeats the curse, then your name, and then he thinks, were his feelings mutual after all? —

— meanwhile, you stare at the message you’d just sent, and at the contact you’d sent it to you. this was not the image you’d meant to send, not in the slightest, but the small text beneath the message reading Read taunts and mocks you, screaming too late! you stare, and stare, and stare, hands shaking and picking at your lips. how disastrous had this been? will it ruin everything once and for all?

too late, you remember and breathe out softly.

well, if he’s seen one, maybe he’d like to see the rest too?
