It moves and adjusts in real time as the batter moves?

I hadn’t noticed that

You think the strike zone moves depending on how the batter moves?

I think it moved based on where the batter is when the ball is pitched, yes.

That a live umpire calls balls and strikes. Change that rule so a ball thrown 6 inches off the plate can't be called a strike, nor can one thrown down the middle be called a ball. Also make it so umpires no longer have the authority to throw people out of the game. If your call sucked you deserve to get ripped and should have to stand there and take it.

I'll start A pitcher should be allowed to come back into the game after being pulled


If you want to bring a pitcher back into the game then all you have to do is put them in the field after you pull them as pitcher

Back the mound up a foot or two. Batting averages have been dropping since pitchers mechanics and training have gotten so much better. We need more balls in play and action.

Eliminate interleague play and get rid of the DH in the NL would be a good starting point

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.


But the runner in that situation is no longer “forced” to advance to the next base. Once the tail runner is out, the lead runner can freely retreat.

The exact same situation happens in reverse when the bases are loaded. Lead runner at 3rd can be forced out at home, but all subsequent players have to be tagged out if they attempt to score.

and get rid of the pitch clock.


Pitch clock may be the best thing that's happened to baseball in my lifetime. Also, I wish they's put the visiting the mound limits and coaches timeouts limits in college baseball like MLB, Jay Johnson can sure drag a game on!!

Starting a runner at 2nd in extra innings is fricking retarded.

All BS aside they should seriously look at some of the Banana Ball Rules to speed things up and make the games more exciting.

You should be allowed to call the ump a cocksucker to his face. But only once per team.

If a fan drops a foul ball or home run ball, they should have to leave.
