Batter should be able to advance to first on a wild pitch regardless if it was a third strike or not

I like it. Or just simply, allow stealing first.

Catcher (or any fielder) blocking the plate/base can be pushed out of the way by runner.

Get rid of the asinine double bases at 1st base.

Hold umpires (and refs for that matter) accountable.

The uncaught strike 3 rule.


This right here. It’s strike 3. You shouldn’t be awarded the attempt to get to first base if you strike out.

Maybe the catcher should…you know…catch the ball.

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.



Wtf
You know what a force play is right?

THIS.

My god, the objective is LITERALLY “hit the ball where they’re not”. They all go right? Hit the ball left.

Yes, I know it’s a force play, but I just think it’s stupid for the runner to no longer be forced in the situation I described earlier.

The umps create the zone. Hitters and pitchers adjust.



Umpires basically do that now and players adjust. Although I’d use the word Interpret and not “create”.

Just a pitcher? If you're going to do that, then why not any player?

Institute the mercy rule in MLB.

Coaches no longer required to wear the uniform.

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


Your right it isn’t. But what they are doing in testing is have the box different for each batter by using measurements of each player

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

No coach would do that even if they could. Not if they have any concern for the health of their pitchers.

Im kinda tired of seeing a position player lob balls to batters when the game gets outta hand.

And Ive often wondered why coaches dress like players. Although I do think I remember Pete Rose coaching and actually put himself in as pinch hitter.

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.

Actually wouldn’t mind this. If you want to lean into a pitch, I want you to earn it and wear it. I’m ok with guys having pads on their batting gloves and their ankles but that’s about it
