89. I was referring to 'scratching themselves and spitting'
That's just nonsense. Watch the fielders; they react... no, they proact to every pitch. They know what the pitch is gonna be and what the pitcher's trying to do. They also know what they're gonna do in a given situation.

How many times have you heard announcers say a fielder got a good jump on a ball? I want to see the jump, not just be told about it. I also want to try to figure out if there's a defensive play on, or watch what the fielders do when a hit-and-run, steal or sacrifice is on. There's a lot to be learned about the game that way.

Like rrr said earlier, it's a chess match. But the pieces are alive and thinking.
