New baseball rule: changing the structure of the batting order?
As one reader pointed out, there’s nothing necessarily logical about any of the baseball rules. You can have 10 guys on the field, a 3-2 ball-strike count, 5 bases, all DHs, etc. So, from that standpoint, you can change any rule, as the only mainstay is that you have a pitcher on the mound and a batter at plate. Everything else is negotiable. That said, this was my response to Greg’s wild idea (quoted below):
Basically, it’s like any sport, where the offense dictates who he can pass/throw/kick to, etc.
The reason I’d be against it is that it becomes very specialized, the kind of thing I don’t like in football (either you are a receiver or a running back, etc).
That said, just because I find one thing I don’t like with it doesn’t mean that overall it’s necessarily worse!
