The recent rule changes were mostly well designed and successful, but this is a bridge too far. Please tell me they will come to their senses. Golden at bat? This is more like giving the very essence of the game a golden shower.
 
Why can't they reset the scoreboard to 0-0 at the end of the 8th inning,
- bonus let the team with the most home runs bat last after the reset.
- bonus bonus let the teams reset their batting line ups at the beginning of every inning starting at the eighth inning until each classic game has been completed.
 
It will be a great time to introduce "the designated runner".

Got a fattie slugger that is to slow running the bases? No problem he can keep doing the hitting while a speedster standing behind the plate will do the running for him, no need to remove the batter from the game, he will continue in the game after the bat.

Strangers things have happened but I don't think the golden at bat thing will happen.
Hopefully MLB has better sense than that, but you never know.
 
Soto’s salary for one year is almost the same as the ENTIRE current contract of White Sox LF Andrew Benintendi who had a -0.3 WAR and was the biggest contract ever signed for a Sox player. I hate my MLB fandom.
 
It should be considered a failure for the Dodgers if they don’t win at least three consecutive World Series titles. This is absurd.



 
I’m a Phillies fan so I acknowledge a little bit of “pot calling the kettle black” since we have the second highest payroll….But the Dodgers are 75 million higher than the next team. And I assume that’s including Ohtanis jokes of a contract only counting $2 million to the cap.
 
Oh look. The Dodgers signed Kirby Yates to reinforce the bullpen.

Sorry but this is getting ridiculous.

ESPN losing F1 AND MLB. Ouch!

It seems more accurate to frame it as they dropped both of them. They had an exclusive negotiating period for F1 that came and went, and they were expected to opt out of the MLB deal at the end of this season regardless of whether it was to renegotiate to a lower rights fee or leave the sport altogether. Quite simply, they haven’t really cared much for baseball in close to a decade now - maybe even longer.

Yeah. MLB is a FOX thing for sure now.

I hope NBC outbids Netflix for F1. I know they want it bad, never wanted to give it up but Liberty had a relationship with ESPN and gave it to them at first.

ABC stations will be happy not to carry F1 I’m sure.
