How can we fix baseball so that it ends in a timely manner?
there is nothing to fix
>>151669358no that shit is kino sorry you are a fake fan
Ties after the 9th get settled by home run derby
>>151669358It's not the sport for you.Baseball is the low barrier of entry for ball to bat sports. Cricket has matches that last literal days.
>>151669465>Cricket has matches that last literal days.human beings really are bored huh, no meaning, no substance, make up arbitrary conditions to do arbitrary things, with arbitrary outcomes, within designed parameters, so that everybody can have something to do, for no other reason than to do something.race needs an apocalypse or religious crusade, or something else to snap em awake.
Oust the commissioner since he keeps rigging it so shitters like the dodgers make the eries
>>151669584It's called "enjoying life" you miserable faggot. There's enough war and misery in this world as it is.
>>151669358Multiball
>>151669358Bring back Nickel Beer Night
>>151669358in extra innings, each base is worth 1 run except for walks.single = 1 run, double = 2, triple = 3, HR = 4, SB = 1 run for each base stolen
>>151669358multiball
>>151669358If it's tied after 9 innings then end it for the day and start the 10th inning the next day.
>>151669749Then a strikeout, regular out, double play, throw out, etc should all be points for the pitching team
Players being able to refuse walks could have helped this game. Could add an option in extra inning for players to be able to choose to restart the at-bat instead of going to first. Obviously will never happen since baseball won't even add video umps to fix wrong calls when batting
>>151669772they already have a game tomorrow
>>151669817you have to go back>add video umps to fix wrong calls when battingstarting next season>Players being able to refuse walkssolves nothing>could add an option in extra inning for players to be able to choose to restart the at-bat instead of going to firstsee above
>>151669864It solves them walking ohtani every single time which probably extended the game more than anything else
Jays would have won that game if not for umps rigging it immediately for the doyers
>>151669885they would just pitch around him, seriously you can't be watching sports if this is what you think
>>151669817Walking is just faster way to throw four balls.
NO SPOILERS just got home from work and am going to to watch it from the start. sounds like they had an extra inning. stoked for that - anything for my Jays to win.Will pop in after the game to give you my thoughts so I won't read any post 'til then
>>151669864Also the solution they are implementing is dumb. All they need is an extra ump that literally just watches the broadcast and can clearly see if the ball falls outside of the strike zone and he can flag it for review, instead of introducing a computer system and players having to challenge it
>>151669911>>151669916That's why I said they could refuse the walk after 4 balls, so throwing 4 balls on purpose would lead to another at-bat if the batter
>>151669358sudden death like soccer
>>151669931ok but that has nothing to do with today's game
>>151669950you can't refuse a walk the game would just last forever. Refuse walk, walk again, refuse walk, walk again
>>151669985Then each consecutive walk is another base earned. 2 refused walks = second base and so on
>>151670006you're giving everything to the batter, should we jut ask him what type of hit he would like and give him that? Hmm today I will like a triple
>>151669930See you in seven hours
They can use aluminium bats after the 9th
>>151670026Don't throw unhittable balls and it's not a problem. You can do it three times and no more. Walking a batter because he's too good is pathetic
Tie goes to the home team
>>151670048That's actually not a bad idea.
>>151670066no it's not, if you got walked every at bat your OPS would 2.000 which would be twice what ohtani had this season
Make the ball bigger
>>151670066Got to give your big hitters protection in the line up. Mookie Betts ain't hitting shit. That's why the Blue Jays had no problem walking Ohtani.
I dont know, maybe a salary cap so a team cant have 15 activ4e pitchers on their roster, some of which have been """"""injured"""" the entire season
>>151670084It's not practical regardless I'm really just trying to find any solution however unrealistic for the strategy blue jays had this game of purposefully dodging Ohtani
>>151670074it would get pitchers killed in a literal sense.
>>151669358I liked baseball better before. Infinite pickoff moves. Players like Nomar Garciaparra and Ryan Braun stepping out of the box and adjusting every fucking strap on their equipment from head to toe between pitches. It had way more soul than this pitch clock shit.
>>151670125The other dodgers need to knock him in if he's on base
>>151670236You are literally /NOTme/
two batters per inning
>>151669930are you a midgit
>>151669358There'll be riots if you min-max it moreBaseball has accepted its status as a niche sportsThey should lean even more on the Japanese aspect to get the weeb audience. Only reason I started watching is because it's Japan
>>151671485>They should lean even more on the Japanese aspect to get the weeb audience.This. The hololive thing the Dodgers did was a big success
>>151671485>Only reason I started watching is because it's Japansame honestly
>>151670125It's a team sport not a solo sport. Basically anyone that's not a slugger would take a free walk if they could. It's not like other teams don't walk Springer, Vlad or Kirk as the situation demands.
There is nothing wrong with a tie (if it happens in the playoffs just play another game)But if you really want to add a meme rule then teams must use one less player on the field for every extra inning until the game ends(you can pick which one), it would be more fun that the ghost runner
