How to save the boring game of Baseball

[Hecho en Mexico]

Make an "all star" game of americans vs foreigners.
Americans - Players born in the US
Foreigners - Not born in US - Latinos, Asians etc.

I dont give a crap about this "sport" but I do think it would be intersting to watch a game of this sorts.

What do you guys think?

My proposals to save baseball:

1. Two strikes and you're out.
2. Two outs and the inning is over.
3. Reduce the game to five innings.
4. Reduce the season to 80 games.
5. Reduce "Baseball Tonight" showings to twelve per evening.
6. Red cards given to pitchers for walks.
7. Only allowed one pitching change per game.
8. Fold half the teams in the league.
9. National coverage limited to the Home Shopping Network.

Get rid of gloves

take the U.S. vs. World concept a step further

have a Whites vs. Minorities (blacks, Latinos, Asians, biracial) game. You'll see passion in the stands that you never do in any All-Star game.

So baseball is boring to you and you question weather it's a sport. You must not be American because if you were you would understand.

ways to improve the game of baseball
1. Worldwide draft
2. Salary Cap...when teams go over their fine goes to small revenue teams
3. Bye Bye Marlins and Expos
4. Raise the Mound
5. 162 games to 120
6. "Steve Trachel Rule" no more than 45 sec to throw the ball
7. Steroid testing
8. Cut down prices....$145 for a family of four to go to a game including food and tix
9. either DH in both leagues or throw the rule out
10. players can become free agents 4 years after they sign a contract

24 seconds pitch clock. If pitcher or hitter can't make the time, a time out has to be called. Pitching change mandatory whenever a manager or coach visit the mound.

Mandatory steroids. Steroids improve the quality of play. We need to see baseball players hit the ball 600 yards and pitchers throwing 110 miles per hour. Everyone should be required to take steriods.

Promotion/Relegation.

early 1900s all over again

Stop supporting teams without any aspirations of winning, and reduce the number of teams by a half.

Baseball can be great, like the last world series, seeing the big unit go against the yanks. But watching two lousy teams play - as in any sport - I've got much better things to do.

Just increase the number of great athletes on each team, the game will be fine.

Position rotation.

This will ensure that every player is up to the task physically.

Plus I want to see fatass Jason Giambi waddle around playing shortstop.

And I'm sure he'd love to see Ahn play keeper, but he didn't vocalize his ignorance. Aside from finances, baseball isn't bad off. Sure there are things that could be done to make it better, but the only workable one won't be done. The league's talent pool has been severely watered down. If you want to watch competitive baseball, cutting the teams in the league by half would be a good start. Fewer games, more heated rivalries and an all star at every position on every team except the Phillies, who will of course, still suck.

actually all Korean players can play every position on the field. Ahn can play keeper too although he isn't tall enough. Also all korean soccer players can play with both feet. Hiddink was amazed at that. All Korean soccer players are taught to play all 4 major positions.

Other things you don't know about Koreans: Koreans can write with both hands, Koreans sometimes blink in their sleep, and Koreans can last in the water 45% longer than other human beings because of their increased lung capacity. Also, Koreans are born without the taste buds that sense spicyness. Koreans can digest alcohol and turn it into endorphins. Some Koreans can grow Afros or the dreaded "Ko-fro."

Weird, huh?

tear down and rebuild every stadium and make them all Enron/Minute Maid Park replicas.

I think that it is really funny that you had to spell out the difference between an 'american' and a 'foreigner'......

After reading drivel like this for a few years now...I'm hoping that BS starts up a virtual fight club......

Oh, I'd say Korean girls leave the others behind. Which isn't a bad thing by any measure at all. Funny thing about them though, Korean girls use sex as a tool better than seemingly every other nationality. Believe me, I know.

3 Rule Changes for Baseball:

1) Once you step into the batter's box, you cannot leave until the end of your at-bat or the pitch forced you to jump/dive out of the way.

2) 15-second pitch clock with the clock displayed in the stadium. If you don't go into your motion within 15 seconds of receiving the ball from the catcher/umpire, it is considered a ball (as opposed to a strike).

3) In the American League, once you remove your starting pitcher, you lose the DH. This will add a lot of strategy back into the games and calm the union's fear of losing a high-paid position.
