Borrow outs.
How about allowing teams to borrow outs from a future inning in the same game? Of course that team must pay back: the future inning would lose the number of outs borrowed.
Radical, uh?
The only flaw I see is if the defensive team gets out of a jam by retiring a batter for the third out, then the offense announces that it borrowing from the next inning and the defense could have gotten a double play for four outs ... I'm sure one of you readers can suggest something.
Of course, a team may not borrow from innings that may not be played: extra innings.
Cool, uh?
