Nope on all except #4

I think I agree with TwinsRight on #1

whirl

Might work at the MLB level. Not at the high school/little league levels

rggee

Only #4

Mr. Belding

7/15/19 6:30am

1 and 4 would be good

TwinsRight

7/15/19 7:02am

I agree with 1 and 4

I can get on board with change #1 and here's why:

If it ain't broke, don't fix it

Endocoug

So it needs to be fixed?

What happened to

TwinsRight

7/15/19 7:21am

That's the thing ... are we sure these changes are "better"?

Endocoug

Declining TV ratings and lowest attendance since 2003

Its not the rules, they’ve priced out seeing games behind endless

This is pretty much it. Can't take the family to the game. Lucky for me I'm out

7/15/19 8:31am

just the fact that you have to pay $100 to watch the games is exactly part of

I'd argue that the intent of baseball is to score more runs than the other team.

whirl

Just 4

How would #1 work? Is that only on a passed ball or wild pitch?

Skeptical Optimist

It's a good question?

whirl

7/15/19 8:14am

Good question. At the younger levels, this could be an interesting move

Hit batters are supposed to take reasonable action to avoid the ball

Left Shark Coug

7/15/19 8:48am

The batter can't steal until after the pitched ball has crossed the plate.

So now they can't even attempt stealing first if the pitch is outside?!

7/15/19 8:49am

I should have said "after the pitched ball has crossed the plate,

HighHorse

It was, I was just being snide. You know, to make the old guys grumble. 😉

7/15/19 8:56am

thx

whirl

7/15/19 8:53am

So looks like there are a handful of situations where this would be possible

Skeptical Optimist

7/15/19 8:58am

Now that’s an interesting strategy.

Follow-up question: How would it be scored?
