Chiefs Baseball sucks and need to make these changes...... - Page 2

1. In the NL the pitcher bats and in the AL he doesn't? What other sport in the world has shit like that? PICK ON RULE!

2. Ball park walls are all different distances from the plate. It would be pretty stupid go to Oakland and play on an 80 yard field then go to Denver for a game on a 60 yard field. Standardize the damn distance.

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.

Make the damn game better

Out of all those rules only the DH in both leagues is the only one that needs to be changed.

The rest of them make you a ****ing idiot.

I had a crazy idea for Instant Reply to be added to Baseball.

Give the Managers a Yellow Flag just like they do in football. You get 3 chances per game to throw the flag on ANY umpire call. Doesn't matter what it is since it could be even Strikes and Balls if you want.

But if you are shown to be wrong that means if you are at Bat, you get an instant Out. If you are in the field the team at bat gets another Out or gets an Out removed.

If your team is at bat and you throw a flag on a called 3rd strike and it shows you are wrong then there are 2 outs recorded. If this goes over the 3rd out of an inning then the opposing team gets an extra out for their turn at bat.

Once the flag is thrown then you don't get any extra flags you only get the 3 chances.

I think that this would assist in some really bad missed calls but could also have more strategy added to the game. Do you throw the flag and risk getting another out killing your inning or allowing the other teams inning to keep on going?

This removes the Managers coming out and arguing with the umpires over some lame ass call. If you don't like the call and think the ump is wrong, throw the flag or sit down and shut up and let the game keep playing.

This Human Element excuse is getting old and baseball needs to start embracing technology since everyone and their grandmother can see an instant replay and see if a person is safe or not.

Of these suggestions, the one with the best merit is pitching changes. Coming in to face one hitter is slowing down the game to a standstill. Tony LaRussa was most guilty of that practice. One compromise would be to say if a pitcher is replaced after pitching to less than 3 batters in the same inning, his replacement does not get warm up pitches from the mound and needs to be in position to pitch within 1 minute.

Being more a traditionalist, I say do away with the DH. The knee jerk reaction in all sports is to add offense to the game.

For real. There are certainly things wrong with baseball, but none of these qualify.

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.
