Good evening @donkeypong
Baseball is a game of individual accomplishments, though it pretends to be a team sport.
Didn't really know about this, and yes you put it right that the game needs a radical change.
To be honest, I really don't know about the rules of this game and sometimes I can't differentiate between baseball and cricket.
But for such a game, and the stars are on the bench, and can't be substituted because of some prescribed sort of rules. Wow, that's not cool at all, I can't imagine a game of football where, when Ronaldo, Salah or Messi is needed the most, and they don't put them to be the game changers. That's the joy of soccer for me, the dynamism it carries and I'm sure that for baseball to thrive in this present era, they'll need to seriously adopt this proposal and not only make it a local sport, but a national one and even and international one.
Yeah, and the downsides, I guess they'll surely find a way to fix them, but I seriously think this radical step should be adopted because all sports are evolving, and in soccer now, the referees decision isn't at all much final again due to the adoption of Video Assistant Referees (VARs).
For anything to thrive, change it must adopt to.
Thank you for enlightening me on this sport, hope to look into it more in the future.
