If the pitcher purposely beans you, you can charge the mound with a bat in hand
and swing 1 time at the pitcher with no penalty. You just better be sure that everyone agrees that it was intentional.

Electronic balls and strikes

No DH

Both Leagues need to have the same rule regarding DH atleast

Yep, and I think we should make QBs play defense as well in the NFL

That's not a very good comparison or argument...

Its a good comparison for how stupid I think it is to have pitchers hit. It is

You are entitled to your opinion. I'd rather see specialists hit. Platoon

If you want best facing best then we should have more DH's, No?

And teams decide what tradeoff they want in that case, at least that are hitting

The best argument that a person can make in favor of a DH is simply that...

Pitchers are not drafted because of their ability to hit. They aren't trained

Revenue numbers also disagree. MLB has set revenue records for 16 straight

Correlation vs causation. Also, attendance isn't the primary driver for $.

You're the one who claimed more fans would come to games if there was a DH

Again, what you posted is 100% opinion with no supporting facts

But there is no evidence it would help it either...

Ditto for the NBA

NBA needs a shorter schedule even more so IMHO

Shorter season — No, just need to expand the active calendar to space games out

Just call any throw to 1st base to attempt a pick off a ball and give pitchers 5

So after one pickoff throw runenrs can take as big of a lead as they want?
Genghis Spreads
11/20/19 11:08am
You would get 5 balls to work with
nephicoug
11/20/19 11:11am
so if you ever get behind in the count it’s basically a free base

You got to throw strikes

shorter schedule, time management (pitch clock), electronic measurements (balls/strikes, base tags)

Standardize the definition of a “check swing” so it’s called more consistently.
