Zone1 How to make baseball more intense...and more interesting....

[MarathonMike]

The quality of the players has improved significantly. Pitching skills are unbelievable
Unfortunately the shift to metrics has made the game unwatchable

Agreed. annoying for sure.

Live games are the correct speed. For some reason televised games seem super slow.

Bring back the old game. No runner on second base in extra innings. The manager can switch pitchers at any time he wants. No more pictures having to face three batters before they could be pulled…Bring back pitchers hitting in the National League.

To bad for short attention span people…. But I suppose that’s where we are at. Cell phone era….

I think I came up with a way to make baseball interesting...I am not a fan of the game......but Derek Hunter was talking about the All Star game on his radio show today, and his guest said they liked the pitch clock.

It occurred to me .....

Change the rules like this.....each batter gets a total of 3 pitches...

Pitcher throws 2 balls the batter gets 1st

Pitcher throws two strikes without a swing....batter is out.

Batter hits two foul balls, he is out.

You still have the pitch clock...

The game moves much faster, the action is more intense.....and more interesting........

Baseball needs to go back to its pre-free agency days, the rest will fix itself.
