Good news, Baseball has been fixed, I present you Commonwealth Baseball.https://newmodernsports.weebly.com/commonwealth-baseball-or-baseball-cricket-composite-rules-bc-composite-rules.html
>>154589957So is this a proof of concept or is there an actual league that's going to be made at some point?
>>154589957Also what's the fucking point of the triangle? Do foul balls even exist?If the ball is in play even when "fouled" back it'll be a huge mess
>>154590446Just a concept, I thought it would be a good idea if Baseball pitches were larger to decrease the amount of caught flyballs and make more offensive friendly, and I searched and some person already thought about it.I think the triangle is just stylistic choice.

>>154590681Canadians invented baseball and respect commonwealth traditions, they would never do this
>>154590619Fouls need to exist. It helps pitchers rack up strikes.Without fouls (the entire 360 area around the batter is fair territory) the game would be a complete clownery, constant baserunners, games ending 54 to 49 and shit like that.The only way this could work is by changing the infield rules completely, like how bases work and how running them works. Which is... literal cricket. >the triangle is now just a stylistic choiceSee, you said it yourself: you're slapping another sport's field onto baseball and keeping rules that don't work or don't make sense for that new field.It's like saying>hey why not play bowling on a basketball court?>"but then what do the baskets do">oh they stay as a stylistic choiceYou see how nonsensical it is?
>>154591349In Cricket they have batters hitting all the time, why not the same for Baseball? The game as it is favors Pitchers too much imoWhat infield rules would have to change i
Favstian thread, bump
>>154589957Just move the fences back 50 feet or take out a fielder, and the pitchers mound lowered or moved back a little bit, and no dh(pitcher doesn't hit either)
>>154591821You have no idea how hard it is to be a pitcher at the highest level.
>>154589957This "fix" is worse than hunger
>>154606290Why do you guys hate progress so much? Double the field, double the fun!
