Any equipment you wear on offensive other than the helmet you should have to wear in the field. Problem solved.

Nothing wastes more time in youth games that I umpire than waiting for kids to take all the shit off they wear batting and then putting on the shit they wear running the bases.

Stat nerds ruined baseball for the regular guy.

Nobody wants to learn a new vocabulary for a sport.

All this war and bwar shit is confusing and smug. No regular fan gives a shit about that.

It’s just a way for these nerds who’ve never picked up a baseball in their lives to feel important like they’re one of the players.

Sadly it's the fan's fault because we wanted our teams to win. If we didn't care, the nerds wouldn't have bothered to find the stats that show winning baseball is boring as fuck. We suck.

By the way, he was ruled to have not done this intentionally, I believe Murphy got tossed over it.

These nerds have even ruined the HOF.

Guys like Ted Simmons and Scott Rolen got in Bec of war. I never even thought Simmons was even a hall of good player.

We didn't realize the consequences. We mocked Hawk Harrelson's eye test. Tony Gwynn would put papers in spots all over the field and tried to hit those pieces during batting practice. Now the shift is illegal because guys only know how to "swing hard in case you hit it".

All of these efforts (plus banned defensive shifts) to boost offense…and yet 1,000 FEWER runs were scored this year compared to last year.

This idea is so stupid it is stupid. The game hasn’t lost appeal because Judge can’t bat in the situation the Yankees want him at the plate in. The game has lost appeal lost appeal because each game has 20 strikeouts and 10 walks, starting pitchers don’t complete 5 innings, and a parade of 4-6 relievers pitch in every game for each team.

The solution is easy. Each team is limited to 4 pitchers per game. You’ll see K’s and walks drop drastically when a guy has to get into the 7th inning each start.

And yet the idiots in charge changed the rules to make it harder for position players to pitch in blowouts.

They put restrictions on using position players to pitch…now limited to extra innings or trailing by 8+ runs or leading by 10+ runs.
