:what: Wait, that first post wasn't a troll attempt? You were being serious?

These are just ideas.

This is also a crazy idea but what if the NFL changed the rules so that the players on offense also stay on the field for defense. There are no separate offensive and defensive lines. It would be like hockey and basketball, where the same players are on but can switch when they get tired. No special teams.

As a casual baseball fan, I've been paying more attention this season just because of the Braves BLACKEXCELLENCE outfield :obama:

And, Harvey is a big surprise for my floundering Mets :manny:

Well, there are some things I would change.
1. No more designated hitters allowed in the AL.
2. Allow non-wood bats to be used.
3. No more closers allowed. It's kind of crazy but this is how it would work. You would have to keep in your lead pitcher for the entire game. You can pull him if he gets injured, but he has to be replaced by someone already on the field. And then, the guy who replaces the pitcher would be replaced by someone from the bench. The pitcher cannot return to the field. The guy who replaces the pitcher has to pitch the rest of the game. If he gets injured, then he has to leave the field and not return and he would have to be replaced by someone else on the field. This way, if a manager wanted a back-up pitcher to get into the pitching rotation, he would have to replace an outfielder or infielder with a pitcher, and then have him throw at least one pitch. And then replace him with your back-up pitcher. But to prevent constant pitching changes as is done now, there would be a rule where anyone who is relieved of pitching duties cannot bat anymore either.
The main reason for this change is to increase the number of hits between the 7th and 9th innings. When you have fresh pitchers put into the game, they can shut down the opponent for the rest of the game. But, if you take that away, a team can really come back in the end because the pitcher is tired. A lead isn't guaranteed anymore.
In the past, I've seen games where a team's bullpen is emptied out and the last guy on the mound is getting killed. The only way to end the inning is for the infielders and outfielders to tag runners out.

Lol @ non wood bats. Infielders/Fans (line fouls) would literally be dying :laugh:

I will say the star power is down and the other thing that I agree with is a clock for the pitchers :beli: I was at the braves game last night and after the rain delay it seemed like they where throwing pitches every 2 to 3 minutes :beli: 10 to 15 seconds after you get the ball from the catcher should be it.

They have to find a way to speed up the game

I was at the game too. But tell me that 9th and 10 inning wasnt exciting.
