I wish MLB would stop ruining baseball with stupid rule changes. The ghost runner was bad enough, but to add a golden AB would be the worse rule change ever.
The desperation by Manfred and co. thinking that turning this great pastime into a video game is embarrassing. The dumbing down of our game and culture. Happy I’m growing old.
An idea that I have had is that a playoff team can pick a player from a non playoff team to help them in the postseason. Then you would see like Mike Trout playing in the playoffs. Maybe it could be called the Golden Gun or something. I'm not sure I want it but it's just an idea
This is by far a worse idea than the ghost runner smh. This would happen in almost every game (depending on the potential rules) but the ghost runner only happens in the small portion of games that go to extras. I do agree that the ghost runner should be changed to the 12th inning and later though.
Dumbest idea ever. Having a so called golden at bat would completely abdicate the need for a manager to manage his bench. On top of that like Brian said it would screw up the stat sheets forever. The beauty of baseball is that anyone can be a hero at any time. This isn’t basketball where you can just get the rock to LeBron or football where you call a passing play for Mahomes to Kelsey. I wish they’d quit screwing around with the game already.
Click bait this year is insane. I’ve unsubscribed from many podcasts bc of it. So many proclaiming “latest news,” with nothing but opinion. Not yours, ofc! Keep it up!
@@WaitingForTheHook that was made because twitter was actively suppressing conservatives. Twitter isn’t suppressing the left they all just got butt hurt because their views wasn’t the only one represented on there and it was finally an equal playing ground. Your argument was about relevant as this video. Pretty on par for the left
Another rule change I would do: let a pinch-runner pinch-run twice per game. As in, if the pinch-runner is taken out of the game before they take the field or have an at-bat, then you can still sub them in again later, but the second time they have to stay in or be permanently subbed out
If baseball does that i’ll stop watching. They do nothing to make the umps call the actual strike zone but would come up with this idiocy. Count me out
I would suggest changing the rule for a walk. If a player is walked, all runners advance one base. Would make intentional walks less attractive. No such thing as an open base.
Ok , call me old school all you want , I’m ok with almost all changes , except the stupid ghost runner , but if this happens I’m done watching baseball
Hasn't Manfred bastardized the game enough with the "ghost runner" rule? Now it's let's find a way to make the game only about a handful of "golden players." I despise the ghost runner still, and I always will.
So if the Golden At Bat is implemented then the other team also has the option of using the Golden Out Rule at that point. However, if the Golden Out is used, the team using it can’t use their Golden At Bat option. And vice versa… a team using the Golden At Bat loses their option to use the Golden Out. But the whole aspect of Golden At Bats and Golden Outs is as stupid as the Ghost Runner AND inter league play throughout the year. Just completely dumb.
First time watched... made me so grateful for my Locked on Mets. There is a professional in depth discussion. Here it's 2 silly wanna bees. Show was so silly. Too boot shes telling us she's a liberal by stressing shes not on Twitter - X any more for that dumb Blueky crap. Way they run this show that's where they belong.. Awful show....
What political comment did she say? She just said she doesn't Twitter anymore. She didn't say why or that no one else should use it. She can't make that choice for herself? Ridiculous.
I love you podcast but I am unsubscribing today because Stacy said she was on Blue Sky she hugged to Twitter that can only be one reason so therefore I am unsubscribing your Channel
Would be nice If walks would hurt more in a game. A rule like .. First walk for a player is one base, second walk 2 bases and so on. You can still walk a good batter but doing it more than once will become tricky

Don’t like the “golden rule” idea. I absolutely detest the ghost runner. It’s not baseball.

I think the ghost runner sucks.
An idea that I have had is that a playoff team can pick a player from a non playoff team to help them in the postseason. Then you would see like Mike Trout playing in the playoffs. Maybe it could be called the Golden Gun or something. I'm not sure I want it but it's just an idea
Golden At Bat rule is just about as stupid as Rob Manfred. Not to mention this person will get intentionally walked most of the time

what's the next idea? putting more players on each bbase and not just one for each base?

Yeah, I feel bad that I constantly complain about it on the show but it has gotten out of control.
Blue Sky LOL 😂Done watching you
It's always the right that gets triggered THIS easily. Hahahahaha
@@WaitingForTheHookit’s the left who gets triggered and make a new platform lol

This rule is as bad as the ghost runner. I like the conversation though

It sounds stupid, but I can't say it wouldn't make the game more exciting
Not a good idea in my opinion. But if it happened, it wouldn't kill me.
Few salty comments on this video because Stacey doesn't use Twitter anymore. Hilarious.

Please try to refrain from political commentary. Politics and sports don't mix well.
