It's like they schemed up how to make the sport even more shit after they made the major rules.

>pitcher batting 8th

Want to make basebore more exciting? Ban intentional walks and require each team to have one dog in the lineup at all times

>i want people to score all the time because my brain doesnt work correctly. i have no attention span, dont appreciate subtlety or nuance, and am only entertained my home runs

t. a fan from a team in the AL

i like being even more bored watching an already boring sport as well!

>Implying pitching battles aren't the best thing ever

>I support an objectively more boring and less quality game because league homerism is one of the few ways I derive satisfaction in my life by justifying the use of utterly archaic rules with lazy appeals to the indistinct values of subtlety and nuance

>Number of Canadian Teams in the NL: 0
>Number of Canadian Teams in the AL: 1

Baseball is most exciting when players start getting on base and the defence starts making plays to take away extra bases or otherwise slow them down

>he didn't consume protein shakes twice a day

>pitcher batting 4th

>not televised

Someone invade Finland and change this

Designated hitters are called jokers in pesäpallo

>catcher leading off

Is that a man or a woman?

She is a girl

Fuck that image it can't be real
