How to fix baseball.
1) Limit pickoff throws to first. Three in any AB gets that batter a free ball in his count.
2) Limit meetings at the mound, by both coaches and players, per inning. 1 visit by coaches (except for changes), 3 by catcher.
3) Give teams 6 timeouts per game. Timeouts can be used as a normal timeout, just to stop the game, for a meeting on the mound (if free ones are exhausted), or to challenge an ump call.
4) Fair/foul balls, plays at the bases, catches/non-catches all reviewable, instantly from the booth, which calls down to the home plate ump and delivers the review. I would also favor using timeouts to challenge balls/strikes decided instantly by whatever the Pitchtrax shows.
5) Extend foul poles another 100 feet higher.
6) Toss Selig into Milwaukee River.
I HAVE SPOKEN.
I agree with all, but would like to amend #3 in that once the batter steps into the batter box, he can't step out until a pitch has been delivered.
ReplyDeleteUnless, the player uses one of the timeouts alloted to the team.
Also like the concept of a red flag like football where if correct you keep your timeout, but if wrong, you lose it.
