Start the closer.
The Real scandal of the last 16 years: propagation of non-uniform playing areas.
Four leagues, no divisions.
Walks: a terrible rule.
Designated Fielders and the Six-Player Batting Order.
Clock, time-outs, … you know, like the other sports.
5. Designated Fielders and the Six-Player Batting Order.
There should be designated fielders, not a designated hitter. Everybody fields but a team has the option to have up to three players only play the field and not bat. Six batters in a lineup. That’s the minimum there could be without a batter coming up with himself on base. They’d get 1,000 plate appearances a season, comparable to the number of batters faced by a starting pitcher. This would improve both offense and defense. It addresses those sappy complaints of National League fans without having to watch the dreaded bottom of the order. Who wants to watch the bottom of the order? No one, except people who are actually interested in sacrifice bunting and all the brain power involved in making that decision. Oh, and the double switch. Take me out to the ball game so I can see a double switch in person. Complaining about batters not knowing how to bunt is like complaining about American soldiers not knowing how to load a musket. Who cares? Bombs away. Batter up, not bunter up.
ALL THINGS...
What if MLB switched to a six-man lineup?
Ahmed Fareed suggests that MLB should switch to having a six-man lineup in order to let the star players more air time and Corey Robinson and Jac Collinsworth are very much in favor it.
