That's some serious bullshite.

I think it's awesome.

You should be able to put as many players on one side of the infield as you'd like, but this crap where the 2nd baseman is 100 feet into the outfield needs to stop.

The game is so boring.

It's boring because you have pitchers taking 45 seconds in between pitches.

No it doesn't. Sit down and be quiet.

You joking, right?

Also, and I'll admit i haven't read the article yet...but how is this going to be policed? Will they have some inbounds type lines, big circles where each infielder must start the play inside the circle?

Why?

Eta: I don't have the energy to pick that reply apart from my phone.

Illegal defense in baseball? That ranks up there in top 5 of the dumbest shite I've ever read on MSB.

Ill put two outfielders in foul territory I'd ink now the guy is going to hit the ball foul twice before he puts it in play

Then it isn't for you.

Baseball should be about strategy. That is what makes it so wonderful. You have to constantly make adjustments to what is thrown at you to try to produce a run. You both have the options to align your 7 defensive guys however you please.. Why should that change. Baseball is about tendencies. You align your guys where you think he will hit it.. Then it's on the batter to not hit it there.. Make them pay.

I hate the idea or more restrictions and rules.
