1. Walt Davis Posted: May 09, 2022 at 01:03 AM (#6075844)Funnily enough, if only we had ways to measure these things? Can't you just compare exit velo and launch angle in similar conditions to both nationally televised with other games and see if the ball is travelling further?
I realize I am a broken record about this. Fewer home runs are fine if they are combined with more balls-in-play, especially if that is combined with a higher BABIP. But if you just have fewer home runs you will end up with a lot of 1-0 games, and since there is still no clock and no restriction on relievers or mid-inning pitching changes, that can still end up with a 3 1/2 hour 1-0 game.
Football is life!
Bobby Dalbec's homer was on a Sunday Night game.
Except regular league football games (i.e. soccer, which I assume you're referring to) clock in at under 2 hours, just about every time.
They (the Red Sox) must be getting them in bunches because I can't remember the last one. Then again, I haven't been able to watch many innings this year. I've seen enough for now.
Make first basemen and third basemen stand on the base for which their position is named, when the pitch is delivered. Make a box halfway between 2B and 3B and make the SS stand in it, until the pitch is thrown and make a box between 2B and 1B and make the second baseman stand in it until the pitch is thrown. Leaving the box too early on a ball in play grants the player the greater of (i) where he ends up when the play ends up, or (ii) 1B (among other matters, that will keep a team from cheating with a player they would intentionally walk anyway, where they would cheat and if caught, have a result they are fine with and if they are not caught, have probably gained).
This will give you a lot more diving plays in the infield, for certain. The problem is (I think) no one is excited by 1-0; 2-0; and 2-1 games, but there are so many solutions that effectuate change (regulating where infielders stand; moving the mound back a foot; livening the ball; deadening the ball; moving up the fences; moving back the fences [how has that worked, Baltimore]), and Rob Manfred does not have a clue on what direction to take, so until there is a crisis, we will ride out the 1-0; 2-1; and 2-0 games.
