3. The intentonal walk needs to be abolished. Being allowed to run away from your opponent is total BS and gay. At least make the pitcher throw the ball where it can be hit.
4. Pitching changes need to some type of limit. 2 per game or 3 would probably be best. I would say after 3 you can change. Then after 7 but none after that.

1. I agree that pitchers killing the possibility of a big inning by picking up a bat sucks. This is why the A.L. is better. I always find it funny when people who complain baseball is boring think pitchers should bat in the A.L which cuts down on offense/scoring in general, thereby making the game more "boring."
2. Well that's just dumb.
3. Well that's just dumb. In football the QB is allowed to get rid of the ball outside the pocket to "run away from the opponent." Pretty much the same thing.
4. It's called strategy. If you hate it keep not watching baseball.
