Punting a game when down is a time-honored baseball tradition
Without it, how could Mike Matheny forget how it works and put in a completely rusty Michael Wacha in high leverage situations?

how about make the fielders use those old Timely gloves  not the jai alai cestas they have today?
AvatarDan Szymborski
7:35
That would be fun too
Ben Clemens
7:36
What if they had to jai alai the ball back in
No bare hands allowed

You can only field with your non-throwing hand

There can be no question that today's gloves negatively affect BABIP compared to years ago.
Ben Clemens
7:37
Absolutely

Outfielders can only use Field Hockey Sticks?

As long as the pitcher can pitch that way too.

Your outfield must weigh at least 900 pounds.
Ben Clemens
7:38
Pitching that way wouldn't help as much as you think unfortunately
Since so much of jai alai's speed comes from the fact that the ball never stops
unless you had to jai alai shot a ball thrown to you by the first baseman
That would be exciiiiiiting

So you are talking about every generic company’s city league softball teams outfield?

We make so many jai alai rule changes that we end up with just jai alai

batters get aluminum bats, but now there are two pitchers on mounds that are two feet apart

I'd like to see Mario Kart rules
Visiting team gets 4 outs
Trailing team* rather
Only when up by 2 or more
Disprove A Rod on his even leads for all time
LFC Mike
7:41
That cesta really allows you to whip the ball so much faster than it can be thrown
Ben Clemens
7:41
Yeah getting to not completely kill the speed as it comes in is just a huge edge

a fielder is randomly selected each inning, hitting the ball to them scores 2 runs for the defending team
Ben Clemens

Even compared to tennis or whatever

How does a Houston win today swing the likelihood of a series win for the As?

Lets go Rays!
Ben Clemens
7:43
The Rays are the unofficial team of baseball nerds
So I Imagine FG is generally in their corner
