A ground rule double should clear the bases.

Almost all of mine would be changes to baseball. DH can gtfo. Drastically reduce the active roster size. Once an at bat has begun, a pitching change puts the batter on base. I could go on and on.

In basketball I would pull the three point line in and change the scoring to 4s and 3s. That really needs to be done.

Get rid of automatic first downs in football. Seriously who the hell made that rule? It’s nonsensical.

Amazingly I agree with all of your baseball takes but your others are just terrible. No offense

This is an underrated one that needs to happen, although I would do it differently.

- keep the line where it currently is
- change scoring to 4’s and 3’s
- for ft’s, first ft is worth 1pt, second ft is worth 2pts IF you make the 1st, otherwise it’s worth 1.

Makes trying to get to the ft line slightly less statistically significant and makes 3pt shooting (which would now be 4pt shooting), 25% less important.

Of course, you’d have to rewrite all the records as games would now be way higher scoring and scoring stats would go way up.

It would take some getting used to but overall it would greatly decrease the importance of the 3pt shot and slightly decrease the importance of getting fouled, things that are much needed
