If the object of baseball is to SCORE RUNS, why does the pitcher keep trying to stop that from happening?
Shouldnt the pitcher try and help the batter get more hits so they can score more runs? Why does the pitcher keep trying to stop the batter from hitting the ball if the batter is trying to hit the ball? Isnt the object of the game in baseball to score runs? Why does the pitcher keep trying to stop the team from doing that? Why do pitchers try and do the opposite of what the game was meant to be?
How are you going to be "winning the game" if you want it to be all outs and no scoring?
Wow. Where to start. There are TWO teams in baseball. The pitcher is on the opposite team of the person at bat. The pitcher is trying to strike out the batter so that the batter won’t get a run for their team. The object of the game IS to score the most runs, and the pitcher doesn’t want the batter to score, because then the other team would get the points.

It’s not the pitchers fault. Those infielders and outfielders keep catching the ball. They should let it get by them so they can score more.

Otherwise the game will be too pointless

Seriously?! You know that the pitcher throws to the OTHER team, right? On Sunday, will the Saints’ defense get out of Manning’s way so he can score more touchdowns? ARE. YOU. Serious? The object of all sports (except golf) is to score MORE runs than the other team; a big part is trying to keep the other team FROM scoring.
It’s not rocket science.

A love of watching and playing baseball, for my whole life.
Because the pitcher and the batter are on different teams. The pitcher wants to get the batter out, so the pitcher’s team can hit. If the pitcher lets the batter get runs, his team will lose.

The pitcher wants to stop the other team from scoring runs, so he can win the game and help his team win

The object of the game is to score more runs than your opponent, not to just score runs. Your premise is false so you conclusions are false.

I don’t know what’s more incredibly stupid – this question, or the fact that you appear to have asked similar questions about other sports.
Try opening a dictionary and looking at the word "defense".
You may find a definition along the lines of "trying to stop the other team from scoring."
Sorry, but I have to go now before my head explores over the immenseness of your stupidity.
