Fix the MLB in 5 words or less

computer regulated strike zone, homeruns

Fire Angel Hernandez. Admit the balls are juiced. Give Jomboy a job at MLB Network. Mic the Umps.

This. Juiced balls are the only legitimate problem MLB has.

TV pitchtrackers are sometimes off by a full ball diameter, those things are the most useless shit in television technology

Three players on counter defense

only problem I have is the length of regular season. cut it in half(essentially eliminate monday-thursday games). One weekend series a week. 3 games a week

>play home and away series each in division(24 games)
>play one series against other 10 teams in league(30)
>rotate playing one division in other league(15)
>One series againsted designated rival(mets-yanks, reds-indians) play two series if in rotation (3)

still basically the same, length cuts out all the filler, makes games more intense instead of leisurely strolls. don't @ me about revenue the nfl plays 16 games

get rid of white players

delete the league and players

make every stadium as idiosyncratic as fenway

Add wickets and tea breaks.

Same innings system than cricket

does jousting count?

Time the fucking at-bats

I love this idea so much. It's would make baseball exciting again.

absolutely based

Better local-level marketing

Baseball isn’t white, MLB outside of the Dodgers, A’s? Mets and Yankees is unable to market to the demographics of their city. The Braves would rather move to a comfy white suburb than play in a 20 year old stadium in a black neighborhood

The solution to “not popular enough” is never “do less”

I was thinking straight up beating each other up with bats, but this should be added as well

Mics on managers, players, and umps.

>da seezin 2 long bruh!
Fuck off, nigger

juice the bats
juice the mounds
juice the grass
juice everything

God baseball is so damn boring. Even the highlights are fucking boring. It’s always either someone knocking the ball out the park or someone catching a ball at the wall. Every damn time.

Even NFL with all it’s damn commercials is more interesting.

You aren’t a real American if you don’t like baseball

Nuke the entire fucking "sport"

stop singing "god bless america"

Batter must carry the bat around the bases with him and can use it offensively but only while sliding.

To be fair most people and organizations would rather do almost anything somewhere other than in a black neighborhood.

They juicing everything up in here?

reduce to 7 innings games

baseball is played in america not russia

fix shifts, stop juicing balls
>fix shifts
don’t allow the shortstop to be right of second base until after the pitch don’t allow the second basemen to be left of second base until after the pitch
>stop juicing balls
return the balls to normal
there you go I increased offense without making the league a joke

keep juicing balls, change nothing

free beer

no dh, unjuice the baseballs

no cups

there are wickets in baseball, they just work differently, for example you need three wickets for a wicket

REMINDER: if you dont like baseball dont watch it, it doesnt need to change to attract people like (you), it has been and will continue to be fine without (you)

Every NFL, NHL, and NBA regular season game is exciting because they all have a much larger effect on the outcome of the season than a 1/162 MLB game does.

Fire Manfred, dismantle American League

Fewer seats, bigger outfields

Better yet, force them to build a park that isn’t meant for little leaguers

Land mines in the outfield

This works for literally all sports but:

Get rid of instant replay

Joe buck gets ass cancer

protect yourself at all times

Uh just make games twice as important by giving them a 2x multiplier

The Dodgers ironically have the whitest lineup rn lol.

shut the fuck up NBA zoomer

NHL and NBA regular seasons mean literally nothing.

Hard Salary Cap.

Yea Forums

They sure as hell mean more than MLB's

nhls does, nbas doesnt

Yeah but the 162 is to attempt to build enough of a difference in W/L so that only the true 3 teams deserving make the playoffs (+1 to make the numbers work, and now +2 because one game playoff cashgrabbing)
NBA/NHL are exceedingly long and then it doesn't even matter because 90% of teams make the playoffs anyway

all three need shortened by roughly half. the proportions are correct but they're all too fucking long.

>nba game
>meaning something
Now THATS what I call humor

Add netting 100 ft high over the whole park. No more fly balls, would have to react to the ball hitting the net.

“Muh small old fashioned shitbox stadium!”
When will Boston take the new stadium pill?

Ban interleague play
Ban the DH in the AL, or at least enshrine it into some permanent law forbidding its inclusion into the NL
No stepping outside the batters box once you're in it waiting for the pitch.
Oh and stop juicing the balls FFS.

make me understand the rules

Robot strike zone, equal payrolls.

I prefer baseball.

Baseball doesn't need "Fixing".

Take out the stuff in the last 20 years that was supposed to "fix" it and the sport is infinitely better.

Pitch clock

Bring back the steroid era
No DH
Nuke Boston

Batters that get hit by a pitch can either
1) Take their base
2) Fight the pitcher

If they win the fight, they get to go to 2nd base instead of 1st
If the pitcher wins, the batter is out

unironically based
teams would get designated fighter-pitchers who just go out there and instantly hit the other team's star batter to knock him out (both literally and in terms of a baseball out)

The NL needs the DH. I'm sick of all the noncompetitive at bats from pitchers.

Make the regular season 50 games max
Whats the point of even watching when there are so many games?

Unironically this desu

The seasons need to be long to ensure we see the best teams in the playoffs. If the seasons were only 50 games you'd get a streaky Mariners team sneak into the postseason, where they don't belong. Some teams are known for their good second half performances, like the A's and the Indians. The absurdly long regular season is one of the best aspects of baseball. You can have a stressful day at work and then get home knowing there will be a game on to provide a little consolation.

Change nothing. Fuck niggers, zoomers.

Get rid of the DH

And build a bland stadium like the whos or an unoriginal AND bland park like the barves?
Eat a fucking dick

>I only watch """""important games""""": the post
Kill yourself

>Recker
I don’t understand this post. Please explain.

Let my favorite team win

I actually like this idea. Although the need for 10-12 pitchers immediately goes away so it’ll never happen.

hard minimum spending requirement.

>The absurdly long regular season is one of the best aspects of baseball.
if you dont understand this then baseball is just not for you, please just leave it alone, there are lots of other things to do and if you dont like a 162 game grind chances are you wouldnt like the 81 or 40 game grind either, not everything is for everyone just watch what you like and dont be like a busy body cat lady messing with everything you dont

It’s always the retards that mostly just watch football that complain about the number of games. Basketball and hockey have 82 games. Soccer teams play about 40-50 games a season.

Football fans can only manage to follow 16. Pathetic.

Foul balls strike you out

nothing to fix have sex

Pete Rose in the Hall

one explosive ball per game

This. Fuck off back to basketball and fortnite you zoomer faggots and stop trying to ruin my game

Based post

Make trout go to dbacks

Hard salary cap and floor

Just turn it into Blernsball

keep the strike zone consistent

you can't. It's a game meant for radio and playing with friends with none of the autistic "unwritten rules" bullshit. It's terrible for tv and highlight reel culture

Pitch clocks and lower mounds.

2 Foul Balls Equal Strike
Only one pitching substitution
one Batting Glove Adjustment /atbat
2 pick-off attempts only

Worldwide draft, steal every decent player around the world, everybody else can have the leftovers.

7 innings

Just start playing Cricket instead

>game is now 3:15 long instead of 3:30
Wow you really fixed it Espn writer!!! It is so much more attractive to zoomers now despite the core game being exactly the same!!!! Fuck off retards, go watch basketball

make the ball slower so that it is easier to hit, and half the innings,

Fuck off commienigger bootlicker. MLB objectively has more parity than any of those garbage leagues

rig it for the yankees

I can fix it in two...

deathmatch brawls

More gay sex between innings

wtf is this

yeah cause that thursday noon business day game between the indians and royals for the 16th time is really what makes the league function

Oh please, that's ridiculous. There is plenty of time for gay sex during the innings without missing much game play.

Create a VR baseball esport.

wypipo be like

baseball 2.0

>don't @ me about revenue the nfl plays 16 games
I mean it's a completely valid point. The sheer quantity of games is MLB's bread and butter. It's not going to become magically more profitable after playing half the amount of games, and owners would never willingly endure a 30-50% drop in revenue even if it makes the league more popular.

Kill all the white players

Baseball is a cozy sport

pee pee poo poo

Do you mind me asking why you prefer it to cricket? I've objectively compared them and I think cricket is a more complex sport with more kino.

Shut the fuck up mandredd

eliminate all other sports instead

Fireball every 5th ball

based. make them lose their only source of income. mlb will collapse which is literally the only way to fix it.

kill all zoomers and Manfred

seventh inning anal stretch

Each pitcher has to pitch for 3 at bats. After the seventh inning pro baseball really slows down

Stop importing foreign players

THIS and no shifts.

I'm perfectly happy with the current state of the MLB. There's no reason to try to get the NBA crowd just because they're growing and MLB isn't. MLB is still wildly profitable and as the NFL declines over the coming generations (and make no mistake it will) MLB will naturally gain a large share of the fallout.

My biggest issue with the MLB is the spread of the shift defense

shut it down, start playing real football

Stop Juicing The Balls
Shorten the season
Allow Fights
[spoiler] remove nigs [/spoiler]

Besides juiced balls, nothing about the game itself in its current form is bad.

1. Stop being no-fun buzzkill faggots with a ridiculous culture that deems 95mph in the spine acceptable "retaliation" for showing personality by showboating worse just getting BTFO by a batter (like with Acuna and assblasted Marlins last year). Shed Le Gentlemen's Game culture. In its earliest days baseball was played by the roughnecks and drunken undesirables of society.

2. Do something about African American access to the game. This starts with doing something about travel ball. All serious youth baseball players in America do travel ball. It is expensive and inaccessible to the vast majority of African Americans. If you want the game to appeal to anyone but white boomers, you have to appeal to African Americans and make them the spokepeople and the face of your sport.I would say there are 3 main spheres of popular culture: Movies/TV, Music and Sports. African Americans are the drivers and influencers of two of the three--music and sports. If you aren't harnessing the undeniable power of black influencers you will fall behind with young people.

The last two baseball players to be icons and household names--Griffey and Jeter, were both (at least partially) black.

Manfred is such a fucking idiot.

>Muh pace of play
People sit through 3.5 hours of football. There is a bunch of standing around in football too.

sneed's feed and seed

this looks so fun

>ws gm7
>19 home runs are hit, absolute shitfest
>Manfred gets incinerated by a lightning bolt out of the blue following the game
>balls stop getting juiced for fear of the baseball gods' wrath

There it's fixed

Imagine a game of catch between two people, and in between those two people is a man with a bat trying to whack the ball as far as possible. When he whacks it he runs in a diamond and tries to get back to where he started.

Based Canuck

how are they supposed to get poor black people to do something expensive?
