There's a break every half inning as one team comes off the field and the other goes on. Certain pitches also break. Sliders and curve balls, for example, are called "breaking balls" because they don't travel in a straight line, they "break" down or the left or right.

Not sure what U mean. The only thing I can think of where that word is used inasfar as baseball terminology would be someone talking about the break on a curveball.

The time between innings, running on/off the field.
Having your ground ball hit a clump of dirt just right and skip past the third baseman for a single.
Gust of wind that blows your pop foul into the seats.
Playing three against the Twins and missing Santana in the rotation.

"Getting a break" If that is the context of the word then you are referring to one of two things...
An Outfielder can get a good "break" on the ball which means they started moving towards where the ball was hit very quickly.
A Baserunner can gets good "break". Which means they are stealing second and get a good distance from the base they were one before the pitcher lets go of the pitch.
My 2 cents...

Depends do you mean between pitches, between batters or between innings?
