message: What purpose does the baserunning serve, if the runners cannot add any further runs? Is it just to force batters late in the innings to get hits? John FitzGerald 16:06, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

message: This section mostly just describes the differing characteristics of the British game, but does not actually compare them to those of the American game - it appears to assume that the reader will be familiar with the American rules. "x is different to y" would probably be better than "x is different".  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.9.32.121 (talk) 06:31, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

message: As in cricket, the ball is thrown underarm and is known as bowling, while in baseball, it is delivered overhand or underarm and is called pitching.  Um, surely in cricket the ball is delivered overarm (yes, i know it used to be underarm), and is definitely not thrown?  This seems to be an incorrect comparison.

replies: text: I made this into 3 sentences so that it is clear. 1. They throw under hand. 2. It is called bowling, like in cricket. 3. American baseball is overhand OR underhand and is called pitching. Easy as. 119.149.20.25 (talk) 17:27, 24 April 2011 (UTC)

message: As this article indicates its similarity to baseball, isn't it even more similar to softball, with the underarm pitch? -- 65.94.171.126 (talk) 05:05, 4 June 2014 (UTC)

message: One crucial piece of information that seems to be missing in the article is the type of ball that is used. The picture of the ball resembles an American baseball, but how similar is it under the "skin"? Is it identical? And what size balls are used? Are they made in the UK, or sourced from baseball manufacturers elsewhere? The Rounders article also appears to lack information on the type of ball used. - BilCat (talk) 17:56, 22 September 2018 (UTC)

message: This is an article in the Welsh culture series so should be on Wales only, so relevant content moved to Baseball in Walesl. Moved England content into a new page titled English baseball. Kept content relevant to both articles on both pages. Thanks!Titus Gold (talk) 15:34, 28 June 2022 (UTC)
