This might be the most moronic idea I've ever heard... so Manfred will probably be a big fan of it
Its a ridiculous idea.

Even if some of the other rule changes haven't seen entirely popular, at least they're logical in a sense. The pitch clock has sped games up, the extra innings 'ghost' runner has meant less 12+ inning games etc...
So here's a scenario. Game 1 of the world series when the Dodgers have the bases loaded and Freddie is due up. The Dodgers use their 'golden AB' to reinsert Ohtani and instead of the Freeman grand slam, Shohei grounds out to 2B, game over, Y*nkee$ lead the series 1-0.
David Freese becoming a hero in game 6 of the 2011 series probably doesn't happen either.
It would literally be taking away everything that is great about baseball.

Ohtani was already on base, sohe couldn't have been the Golden At-Bat but it could have been Teo strikes out a lot. The Golden At-Bat may not go to your best hitter in all cases. It's a stupid rule.

Not only that but it's the unexpected hero scenarios that wind up being the most memorable, simply because it's an unexpected player stepping up. This is just a mind-numbingly dumb suggestion all around.
Leave the batting orders as they are.

Heh
So Juan Soto signed a $765 million dollar contract for 12-13 years with the New York Mets.
it is for 15 years. now the Y*nkee$ and Red Sox are looking at Teo Hernandez.
I doubt Soto will stay with the Mets for all 15 years.
| Giants agree to 7-year contract with shortstop Willy Adames |
| The San Francisco Giants and shortstop Willy Adames have agreed to a seven-year contract. Adames, 29, slashed .251/.331/.462 (.794 OPS) last season with Milwaukee with career-highs in runs (93), doubles (33), home runs (32), RBI (112), stolen bases (21) and games (161). He finished tied for fourth in MLB with 112 RBI and was one of two shortstops in the Majors to play at least 161 games last season. Adames finished 10th in NL MVP voting. The Santiago, Dominican Republic native has been one of the best all-around shortstops in MLB since his debut in 2018. He’s one of four shortstops to post a 3.0 bWAR or better in each of the last four seasons, joining Francisco Lindor (New York-NL), Corey Seager (Texas) and Trea Turner (Philadelphia). He’s also one of five shortstops to post a .700 OPS or better in every season since 2018 while his 860 games at shortstop since his debut season are fourth-most in the Majors. Since the start of 2021, Adames leads all shortstops with 112 home runs and 360 RBI. The Giants will introduce Adames in a press conference at Oracle Park on Thursday at 11:30 a.m. PT. Watch live on sfgiants.com, sfgigantes.com, Facebook and YouTube. Single game tickets for Spring Training in Scottsdale and April and May home games at Oracle Park, including Opening Day, are on sale now at sfgiants.com/tickets |
I wonder if Harposf notices about Willy Adames going to the San Francisco Giants. I fear that Harposf is sleeping like 22 hours a day to alleviate his back pain and some medical issues.
I am worried about HarpoSF. I hope he is ok.
I wanted to write to Harposf what me and my sister did in San Francisco Sunday.
Is he in bed sleeping a lot like my late mother?
