I'll start

A pitcher should be allowed to come back into the game after being pulled

Imagine an ace that has a bad first inning and is pulled. He is then allowed to go back into the dugout, collect his thoughts, and come back out later in the game. Would add a bunch of suspense

I think NL pitcher hits, no ghost runner, and get rid of the pitch clock.

I’ll add get the strike zone box off the tv and no instant replay.

Electronic balls and strikes. Umps miss too many calls.

I agree with you but it would result in a vastly reduced offense. Most umps only call about 50% of the technical strike zone. If hitters had to contend with the actual strike zone, there would be way less hits.

No action shall be taken against a pitcher that retaliates with gas to the ribs of a player that excessively pimps a home run in his next at bat.

Whole lotta downvotes and no responses. You're lying to yourself if you say you wouldn't enjoy that.

Don’t know the name of the rule but whatever rule it is that in the event of a ground ball with a runner on 1 and the 1B fields it, steps on first, and throws it to second the 2B/SS is required to tag the runner and not just step on the base.

I’ll go the opposite. In softball, any player subbed cannot come back in just like in baseball. Make these orca sized DH’s run the bases

The umps create the zone. Hitters and pitchers adjust.

Maybe don’t be a bitch and make a better pitch. What is a hitters recourse against a pitcher who flexes on bad call third strike.

This x1,000,000,000...It maybe is an unpopular opinion, but why does the catcher factor in on whether the batter strikes out or not...I never did get that. "But muh, it's always been that way" doesn't make it correct or right imo

The stupid box is worse than umps. The strike zone isn’t static

Charging the mound. Again, no recourse. That’s baseball. It’s like kids these days don’t know The Code.

Ghost runners in every inning. And 1 wildcard inning where a team can decide to start with the bases loaded and a 3-1 count.
