The umps create the zone. Hitters and pitchers adjust.
Enjoy them calling games now, this is their final hurrah

No ghost runner. I mean what in the hell.
As much as many would like to pretend otherwise, 12-inning games in the middle of the summer aren’t romantic

So you can just matchup batters vs pitchers and switch them out throughout the game?
Let them warm up everytime?
That sounds lame as frick.

The pitch clock is one of the best things baseball has done.

Right. If we have technology to be more consistent, having humans that are tasked with enforcing the rules also arbitrarily altering the strike zone at any time should not be part of the game.
That would be like having cops lowering the speed limit whenever they feel like it, despite posted speed limits. Yet in baseball, retards suggest - that’s part of the game.

I agree with you but it would result in a vastly reduced offense.
You have this backwards. Batters would now actually know what the strike zone is.

The outcry by the judge dick suckers and news outlets every time any NYY douche got hit by a pitch would break the internet.

Remove the foul ball screens down the lines

When I hear someone use this phrase I automatically know they are a dumb arse and pretty much ignore anything they say after that.
It is no different than someone saying "that is just the way it is"
It tells that person isn't very intelligent and cannot explain or understand something and is trying to change the subject rather than have a discussion on a topic.

The use of armor by players. It's like American football vs. Aussie rules.
Some baseball players need their own squire to suit them up and help them take it off after a hit. They need a little push cart to carry it all.

All players must add to chatter process at least 3xs per inning. You lose 1 post game bubble gum per infraction.

Laser system for fair/foul calls for HR over foul poles and GB over 3B.

I disagree - a strikeout is counted as a putout for the catcher. If the catcher doesn't catch the ball, they don't complete the play/out.

The baseline, as defined the direct line between one base and the subsequent base, has full right of access by the base runner. Any defensive player that impedes access to the base does so at their own risk.
I define the baseline as so because I know that a baseline can technically be defined by the runner's path.

Man, Nolan Ryan would’ve made you kids cry. I bet you think present day NBA is the best era in any sport and Lebron is the greatest athlete in sports history.

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
That would make it the only out (other than an interference call) where the ball doesn’t have to be caught to record the out. I know people see it as a punishment to the pitcher, but imagine a grounder in the hole. SS makes a great play and throw, only for the first baseman to drop it. Should that be an out? Of course not.
