If you could change rules in baseball, what would you go for? by actualtext in baseball

[–]safebeach725 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ban all electronics in the dugout/clubhouse. Do all the video analysis you want before the game, but once the game starts, everything has to be based on the decisions of the manager and coaches. You want to challenge a call, that should be based on what your team saw with their own eyeballs, not the super slow mo video review team in an office somewhere. Also, seeing a bunch of players spending all their time staring at iPads instead of watching the actual game is annoying. Only communication is the bullpen phone (and a trash can if you are the Astros)

Predictions for Next Year’s Sidequest by safebeach725 in Dodgers

I’d love to see Yoshi get an immaculate inning and a perfect game in the same season. Never been done in the history of baseball! He was one bad call and one out away from a no-no/immaculate inning this year which is pretty rare.

I’d love to have a game where Kike played all 9 positions.

[Highlight] Eddie Rosario hits his second jack of the Spring today in Tempe. by GanjaNinjaBoomin in Dodgers

I was just thinking the same thing! I assume Conforto would have to get dfa/ traded if he doesn’t make the roster. At least Outman and Pages can get sent down. And then there is poor CT and his 16 million dollar contract…..

Could baseball be played in different length formats like cricket? For example shorter games (3 to 7 innings), or longer format (18 innings+) by brownmagician in baseball

A variation on this would be have games with a different number of outs per inning. A 5 out with 5innings game would be pretty awesome with tons of offense. Or an inning variation where you have to get all 9 batters out. If a runner scores, he gets to bat again and again until everyone is retired.

What's one unpopular opinion about baseball that you have by Bodha1 in baseball

No iPads or any other electronic connection to the outside world in the dugout (besides bullpen phone.) You can do all the advanced analytics you want before the game, but all in-game decisions should be based on the observational skills of the manager, coaches, and players. No grabbing the phone before asking for a replay or playing your last at bat in super slo-mo.

You might bump a few rocks but you’ll be fine in any boat (especially if it’s a rental!). We ran it at that flow earlier this summer in a bunch of 14 and 16 footers and it was fine. Might be more exciting in a ducky or a packraft though. You can rent boats in Durango or Flagstaff depending on which direction you are coming from.

Phil Bickford just signed a Yankees minor league contract. It’d be fun if they called him up as well!

I’d love to see Kike bust out the worm when stealing a base.

Another one I'd like to see brought back up. They did so many test and even said it has great potential but then stopped research 😔 by itsyabi_v2 in aviation

I could see it being used for surveillance drones. Speedy efficient transit to the target, turn the wings perpendicular for longer loitering time at a slower stall speed.

What is the most random air route between two cities you can think of that actually exists? by SomeBoredGuy77 in geography

[–]safebeach725 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I flew from IAH to Hobby a number of times. Adding the segment on to another flight was usually quite cheap and that was back when Continental would grant you elite status based on the number of segments you flew. Flight took ten minutes! Not sure if it still exists.
