  • I think the offsides rule in soccer needs to be tweaked, not totally eliminated though.

    There should be no offsides on players in the box. But players shouldn't be able to "Cherry pick" the whole time

  • Pitchers may have to hit in the American league if the DH is lost due to substitution. DH's aren't all .300 hitters there combined average in the American League is probably closer to .270. The DH should be outlawed from baseball, pitchers would think twice about throwing a 95mph fastball at a hitter when they have to hit themselves.

    the DH should be in both leagues.

    Watching 42 year old 300lb Bartolo Colon hit is OBSCENE

    Guaranteed the best hitter on almost every little league team in America is also a pitcher. They start specializing them in high school and it gets worse in professional baseball. Keep them hitting and they'll get there and then they may think twice about drilling someone.

    A player would just stand in the box for 90 minutes

    Well, just like cherry pickers in basketball, there would be ways to deal with these guys as well.

    I should have been more specific, if there is a defender in the box, then the offense shouldn't be offsides.

    Seeing the defense step forward and play an offsides "trap" is lame IMO

  • hey guys I have a question for anybody that knows Major League Baseball rules better than me which should be all of you. Hypothetically could a picture also play DH in the games he's not pitching?

    Sure....but since nearly all pitchers are notoriously poor hitters it never happens. There have been times when a pitcher had to hit because or substitution applying where the team "lost" its DH......but I know of no occasion where a team purposely made one of its pitchers a DH on his off day from pitching.
