Banana Ball

[Lou]

Do you find baseball boring? 

 

[Barf]

I've heard of them before. Essentially the Harlem Globetrotters of baseball. Sure its cool for families with young kids.

Some great rules. No walks is my favorite. On ball 4, the batter takes off and the defense has to have every player on the field touch the ball before they can tag him out. 

[T.G.]

And if a fan catches a foul ball in the air, the batter is out!

I stumbled upon them last year. Great marketing and good family fun.

Bananas? I bet they never get nagging injuries either.

Fielding Mellish approves

You get an injury? Suspended for the season. Fans don’t want Candy ass players on their team

I like the rule about being able to run to 1B on any WP or PB, regardless of the count.

I’ve wanted to see this in MLB for years. The batter should be treated like a base runner who is ‘safe’ in the box.

Then if he steps out he can be tagged out.

Cool yeah, but, I mean, Taylor Ward is basically doing the same thing right now in the major leagues...

Exactly. No more messing around with your batting gloves.

I would have beaned Garciapara while he was playing with his gloves every at bat.

That would’ve saved a lot of time.
