How different would the game of baseball be if you didn’t have to tag up for a pop fly?

That would be an astronomically stupid rule change. Why should a batter get rewarded for a lazy pop fly in the infield?

How about this pop fly rule. Any base runners during a pop fly can try to pants any defensive player while the ball is in the air. Any defensive player who gets pantsed before the ball is either caught or hits the ground has to be taken off the field for the rest of that half-inning and can’t be replaced. Tag up rules to advance still apply.

What if they changed it to 5 balls and 4 strikes?

What if the two leagues didn’t play against each other until the World Series? That would be awesome.

you don't have to tag as long as you cross home plate before the ball is caught. otherwise you have to go back

9 hitters and 9 different defenders. Almost a football aspect to it. Who cares if you can’t hit if you are the smoothest short stop alive and it doesn’t matter if you can’t defend shite, just bop.

You could get some really fun games this way

I’d like full contact. Throw the ball at runners to get them out too. Head shots count as a double play

How about the pitcher doesn't bat and a non fielder takes his turn at the plate?

And they throw underhand and have four outfielders.
