Here's a breakdown of how an inning works:

  1. The visiting team sends one player at a time to bat, in a predetermined order, until three outs are recorded.
  2. The home team then sends one player at a time to bat, in the same order, until three outs are recorded.
  3. The teams switch roles, and the process is repeated.
  4. The game continues until nine innings have been completed, or until a team is ahead after eight innings and the lead cannot be overcome.

Innings are an essential part of the game of baseball, and understanding how they work is important for fans and players alike.

Thanks for the explanation, Task. It became easier to understand.

You once said it was complex, but when we start to understand it better, it becomes even more fun to assimilate everything about baseball.

Are you watching the game at all. The rain delay is over and it started.

What is an inning in baseball?

In baseball, an inning is a segment of the game where both teams have a chance to bat and score runs. An inning is divided into two halves: the top half and the bottom half.

The top half of the inning is when the visiting team (the team that is not playing at their home field) bats and tries to score runs. The bottom half of the inning is when the home team (the team that is playing at their home field) bats and tries to score runs.

A standard game of baseball is typically divided into nine innings. Each team gets a chance to bat and score runs in each inning, with the teams switching roles after three outs are recorded. The team with the most runs at the end of nine innings wins the game.
