The proposed rule change has been met with widespread derision. But MLB has two teams in temporary homes and an avalanche of pitcher injuries
he first time I saw a mention of a baseball “golden at-bat” came on Monday. A few entries flashed on X, my spam detector dismissed them immediately and I moved on in search of my next distraction. A day later, I was back wasting life away on social media and there it was again: the “golden-at bat”. The internet had won: I did a little research.that would allow a team to send their preferred player to the plate, at any time, even if it wasn’t his turn to hit, once a game.
The pitch clock, which ended most of the endless crotch grabbing, batting glove fiddling and pitcher lollygagging, sped up games, and has been a welcome improvement. As has the jumpstarting of the speed game by beefing up the bases and limiting throws over to first base. Rewarding hitters for perfect, up the middle contact by adjusting the soul destroying shifts has also worked well.
