“It’s the difference between striking out and not getting called up to bat this round.”
Actually, it’s more like striking out your first time up and then hitting a grand slam on your next at bat.
No, it’s not.
You play against the other team, not your own.
there are only two teams, but both have a lot of players on the bench. Usually somewhere around 9, coincidentally.
The primaries are about being picked by your team to take a swing at the ball.
Whether or not you strike out or hit a home run depends on whether you win or lose the election.
When you strike out, you’re out of the game, and someone else on the bench gets picked by the team to take a swing next time around.
