Not a fan either. While I'm FAR from a "purist" this is more gimmicky than real baseball.

Acuna on a rehab assignment with the Strippers. They are playing in Jacksonville tonight against the Shrimp.
Edit: He looked good. 1 for 3 and hard contact. Lots of Braves fans showed up with many wearing Acuna jerseys. Acuna interacted with several kids and signed a couple of things between innings. Good to see.

I don't like the runner on 2B for extra innings but, I am warming up to the NL DH. Dom Smith of my Mets is good with bat, but, not so great with the mitt in the outfield as he's more of an infield player, so I like it that Alonso is on 1B and Smith can replace him there when Alonso is the DH
I have not minded the universal DH as much as I thought. I regularly watch games for one AL team and one NL team in our area.

Hello All
The runner on 2nd base is a method to end the game sooner - I have sat through games up to 18 innings (a long time ago in Toronto) and it gets very tedious
I see it similar to hockey going to 4 on 4 in the OT. Keep the same game structure - just try to induce a goal (or a run in baseball) sooner.
The last thing i want is the equivalent to a soccer shoot out
Can you imagine it ? - lets have a home run derby to decide the winner of the game!!
and in basketball we could do a free throw or 3point shooting contest.
With the runner on second and both teams getting a chance to hit (Hello NFL - are you listening!!!) at least this is a fair approach that usually ends the game quicker

1 - Shazam…ending the game quicker….never realized their reasoning
2 - I guess the NFL was listening …link from a month or so back
NFL changing playoff overtime rules, ensuring each team will get one possession
NFL teams will now be ensured of an overtime possession in the playoffs after the league's owners approved a rule change Tuesday.
www.usatoday.com
NFL’s take was the OTHER extreme, as they HAVE to give each team a chance to score….Buffalo’s D had NO, ZERO, NOTTA answer to KC in the final minutes and Overtime….only fair to Buffalo another possession….so if Buffalo tied the game in OT, KC could score AGAIN with ZERO resistance from that stellar Buffalo D
Maybe the NFL should END any game in which a team scores a TD in three straight possessions?

I have to say. Good looking hat.
All-Star Game decided by HR derby if tied after 9
Players were surprised but delighted after finding out that the All-Star Game would be decided by a home run derby if the score was tied after nine innings.

Can anyone explain the On Base Percentage? This player has a batting average of .215 yet his OBP is .344! That means he gets a lot of walks?

Now if you really want to blow your mind…look up OPS

Some of the new ones are too complicated for me to follow.
