Pete that idea is horrible.  What we need is to make foul balls count as strikes you can strikeout on.  I propose you get 2 foul balls per at bat.  3rd foul ball and yerrrrr OUTA THERE!

We need to get the games MOVING!

If it’s tied after nine it’s home run derby time

I will compromise and use both Dlew and SD's idea.  I retract my original idea.  Whatever gets me to the home run derby part of the game faster, I support.

Get rid of foul lines, anything not in the stands is fair.

What if all fouls that go beyond home plate count as ground rule singles?

Remove pitchers, and use a machine that throws 80 - 120 mph fastballs right down the pipe.  The speed is selected by the fielding team dugout before each pitch.

starting in the 7th inning they introduce the powerball. Its a red baseball with white seams and if that ball is put in play then however many runs score its a 4x multiplier. solo hr basically just became a grand slam. sac fly scores...you guessed it, 4 runs. base on balls...means you take 4 bases BAM thats at least 1 run maybe more.

Pretty much when the powerball is in play you want the batter to either foul it out of play or hit a lazy popup that does not advance the runner. If the batter strikes out on the powerball then no matter how many outs there are that's automatically the end of the inning. The only exception is that in the NL you cannot use the powerball when the pitcher is up (this is assuming the NL goes back to pitchers having to bat, they might keep the DH from now on who knows?)

Oh and obviously once the powerball makes contact w/ the bat - either a foul ball or put in play, then that's the end of the powerball for that half of the inning.

Overhand to batters 1-6.  Underhand to batters 7-9.

Homeruns are boring af. It would be more exciting to break ties by seeing which team can throw the ball farthest.

baseball champs should be crowned soccer style and ties should be allowed

this is actually probably a money loser but the best team would always win at least

Sure, if they are still tied after the home run derby, I'm OK with that.

Although, that does make the game way longer.  Can't have the games being longer.  Need to find some other way to speed it up if we keep the stolen base thing.

I think some outs on the base paths could keep the speed consistent if you can find a way to deal with the pitcher trying to get them at first

Against the rules for the pitcher to throw to the first baseman, but remove balks?

Ban the home run, hit it over the fence and you're out.

If you get HBP and charge the mound and beat up the pitcher you get a double. If the pitcher kicks your ass Nolan Ryan style you’re out.

If an animal gets on the field the team that catches it gets a run

If you hit a home run and flip the bat, the pitcher can choose to fight you.  If you lose, you're out.  If you beat the pitcher, 2x the runs scored
