-Legalize HGH
-You can only use the 3rd outfielder for 3 of the 9 innings
-If the ball goes out of play on an error/throw, the runner can keep going until they get the ball out of the dugout/stands

People who aren't excited by the current product are insane.

As a league they've hit more home runs than ever before.

If you aren't liking this, and have never liked baseball before, I don't think you can like baseball.

Actually just letting the players celebrate a little would bring a little more flash to the game. That's on the players - mostly pitchers, though. If you don't want a guy celebrating a homer, throw a better pitch next time.

The issue is there's barely any rallies anymore
It's either home runs, fly outs, strike outs
John Smoltz was talking about rule changes to help it. Like get rid of the shift

IDK how to describe it, but the statistics show how the game has shifted. Could try to find some links

I'd like to see more small ball too. Bunts, steals, sac flies. That shit is exciting.

So... players would only be allowed to play their position in certain spots? That sounds kinda ridiculous. Teams just need to be ballsy and bunt against the shift.

I don't know how to frame it, but something about a rule them lets somebody with heavy boots kick Bob Nutting in the testicles over and over until he sells the team to Mark Cuban.

Also, being excited at baseball because of home runs doesn't work when it's clear to anybody with a brain that the ball is different than before. It's manufactured nonsense and changes absolutely nothing about baseball's stupid rules and busted financial model.

You can only keep in contact with the ball for 3 seconds. Including the pitcher.

People who don't like baseball in the first place won't understand the concept of juiced balls. If they cared and understood that they would likely be fans of baseball. >_>

If a pitcher celebrates a strikeout, the next time the same batter faces him (even if it's in a future game) that batter is allowed to throw his bat at the pitcher once without any penalty.

Instead of intentional walks, you can intentionally bean the batter :3

The pitcher is replaced with a pitching machine that throws the ball at 300 MPH at a different place every time.

the batter is allowed to carry the bat with him while running the bases, and to use it to whack any basemen that try to tag him out

I say in addition to this you're allowed to throw the ball at the runner to "tag" him :3

The hell is this about? Baseball is already one of the greatest sports on this plane of existence.
So much so that I've been known to call it Basedball from time to time.

Get rid of the DH and move the outfield fences back 25 feet. Also stop putting that stupid fucking strike zone square on top of the catcher.

Attach the ball to a long string from the pitcher's mound.

You dont simply tag a player out. You must tackle them while holding the ball. The bases are replaced by small safe zones

Make it timed instead of outs. And have a "shot clock" for the pitcher.
