This is dumb. Don’t go to a baseball game if both you and your kid can’t pay attention. Am i wrong?

Too busy looking down at their phones. I don't remember this being an issue in the past.

They need to do something to protect against line drives, especially with the MLB messing with the ball the way theyve been the last few years. And the netting these days is barely visible.

I get the die hard "just pay attention" argument but if I'm at the game with my kid I know I wont be able to stay 100% focused thru the entire game. Doesnt mean we deserve to get hit with a 100+mph liner

This has been discussed ad nauseum on the MSB, which is where this belongs.

There will be more netting, and you will deal with it, and nobody really has a problem with it.

For 100+ a ticket, you should be able to be drunk and looking at your phone without being thwacked in the face with a line drive.

Dont bring kids to the game. They only want to play fortnite on your phone anyway. If they get hit, then they get hit. Survival of the fitness.

Children should have their own section.

When I played baseball if you flung the bat you were automatically out.

No reason MLB can't institute this and it would solve the bats in the stands issue with a quickness.

how is it dumb?

baseball games are sort of long.. some people can't possibly pay attention nonstop.. especially kids.. if you can prevent some disasters with a simple solution, why not?

i really don't care much either way.. i just don't get why you think it's dumb.
