Is Stephen strasburg or aroldis Chapman better?
Both have excellent potential to be #1 starters. At this point, Strasburg is probably more polished and would be most ready to step into a big league rotation right now. However, Chapman has blown away lots of teammates/opponents/scouts in Spring Training including OF Jonny Gomes who called him "borderline Randy Johnson." Still, because is a Cuban defector, Chapman has fewer scouting reports and remains the bigger unkown out of the two, but his ceiling is just as high.

Barnstorming.
Most leagues that have time limits have a rule where the limit is determined based on the last out in the inning. This means if you are in the 5th inning and the bottom of the 5th ends with 1 minute left before time is up. You will play the entire 6th inning but that will be your last inning -- if the home team takes the lead in the bottom of the 6th the game will end just like any other game in the last inning

I have heard the term used in the now moribund sport of slot racing. there was an arbitray switching of lanes ( different colors coded- and normally Orange, the center lane had the tactical advantage. while some tracks had more lanes- only 8 were used in a race. the rules required on change lanes with each qualifying heat- this was called a Round-Robin. Idea was to equalize the tactical angles. In baseball, it might refer to a rotation of pitchers, for example.
