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)
The capitalization of Baseball in the title of the article was inconsistent with Wikipedia style, so i moved the article here. John FitzGerald 12:51, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
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)
The whole discussion of innings, and of number of players, is incoherent. First it says no substitutions are allowed. Then it says substitutions ARE allowed, but no re-entry. It says only 9 players can play at a time, but it goes on to say that an innings ends when all 11 players are out (or accounted for). Well, if the two substitutes have to come in to finish the innings, and there's no re-entry, how can you have any more innings????
Then, after the confusing presentation about 2 innings, it says there are 9 innings!
I can't correct this because I don't know what the actual facts are, but someone needs to. — Preceding

As I understand it the sport came straight out of rounders with a modified bat and then picked up the name "boy baseball", subsequently "baseball" - Bill Barrett explains Welsh Baseball. Hakluyt bean ( talk) 03:43, 21 September 2009 (UTC)
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.

This article makes reference to "rugby's... David Bishop", would this be either of; David Bishop (rugby, born 1960), or David Bishop (rugby player, born 1983)? Best Regards. DynamoDegsy ( talk) 07:26, 17 April 2012 (UTC)
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)

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)
@ Cymrogogoch: Do you have access to any information on the types of balls used in British/Welsh baseball, both historically and in modern times? Thanks. - BilCat ( talk) 07:58, 15 October 2018 (UTC)
Hi @ BilCat:, I did find more details about the ball (and bats and their local manufacture) but have been concentrating on the sports history so far. I'm hoping to add an equipment section or improve the "Differences between the British/Welsh and North American games". Just from memory, the ball resemble a softball more than an American baseball, and were manufactured locally (Liverpool, Newport, Cardiff). In recent years I believe an actual softball (manufactured overseas) is used.
If you are interested, or would like to add something yourself, it was in one of the more academic citations found in the article, either Beynon & Evans or Andrew Weltch. Cymrogogoch ( talk) 10:44, 15 October 2018 (UTC)
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)
The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
I have made a technical request for a page move to Welsh baseball , please see Wikipedia:Requested moves/Technical requests. Thanks Titus Gold ( talk) 15:34, 28 June 2022 (UTC)
