Some baseball games are straightforward. They tell you where they’re going to go, and then they go there, and at some point you realize that they’re there, and that’s it, and then you go to sleep, wake up, eat some food, and start thinking about the next game.
And some games are circuitous and evasive. They tell you where they might go, and then they start going there, fake you out, go somewhere else, pretend to go back to where you thought they were going, head in an entirely new direction that you didn’t know existed, and then return to one of the prior false destinations.
