    Doesn’t stuff get floated around like this all the time? I don’t think it’ll happen

  2. Even as a stats nerd this isn’t my PRIMARY beef with that rule but also the best players would get a wildly historically anomalous number of PAs lol. Like Judge would’ve hit 74 in 2022 probably no sweat

    also like who would this persuade to watch? an extra 150 at bats per year for Ohtani and Judge isn’t swaying people who don’t care about the 600+ they already get

    baseball simply can’t be like basketball or football where LeBron/Mahomes/Messi touch the ball every play
     
  5. yea at most it might cause a few more people to linger on a tiktok or reel or yt short with the clip of the Big Moment if it’s a name they recognize. but that’s a pretty small minded vision of what and who baseball is for

    ban attorneys from being commish imo

  6. The Golden At Bat should be one at bat per game where the fielding team gets to sub out the current batter for a senior citizen. The twist is that the hitting team gets to choose their Golden Hitter, and their identity isn't revealed until the Golden At Bat is invoked. They could have surprise celebrity Golden Hitters with a big WWE-style entrance when they come out to step up to the plate.

    in my mind Swisher was like the ultimate squad player. not a superstar/all star but not a scrub either. perfect for a good team

    a great “remembering some guys” candidate once we get even further from his playing days
