MLB Problem:Umpires Fix:Robot umpires. It's a sarcastic way to put it, but it would be easy to set up a system where the four umps were on the field to call plays that they are suited for: out/safe. Um..yeah, that's it. Use pitch f/x in order to get a consistent strike zone. This benefits everyone and evens the playing field. Have a buzzer in the umps ear that dings for strikes. He raises his hand if it goes off. Not hard. Fair foul would be extremely easy with the same tech that tennis uses. You put a 5th ump in a booth to review every play and immediately call down for reversals. The umps would be appeased by having 15 extra jobs open up. The stupid "human element" is removed from the game. What is the human element anyway other than a way to allow human non-players to effect the game. It's stupid and antiquated and needs to be resolved tomorrow.

NFL: Problem: Refs Fix:Hire refs full time. Have the refs actually enforce the rules. Put a ref in the replay booth to review every play and penalty. Get the right result every time. Everyone would be happier about this and teams would no longer get hosed over by bad calls. Note: I'm a bitter 49ers fan at this time because they have been hosed over three years in a row by bad ref calls or non calls. 2012 NFCCG. Giants fumble overturned by bad refs calls. 2013 Super Bowl. The entire game pretty much. And the non calls of penalties on the last goal line stand on the final three plays. 2013 @NO where Brooks was penalized for a clean hit on Brees which handed the game to NO and then the 49ers lost home field advantage and had to go to SEA for the NFCCG. Had the refs got that call right, which replay showed was clean, the season ends differently. Yeah, go ahead and post the crying emote.

Fag Boy Jim posted:Consistency in officiating is much more important than accuracy anyways, which is why I sometimes think the mission to get every single call right is a bit misplaced sometimes. MLB strike zones aren't consistent at all. The same ump will often have a different zone for different pitchers.

Zogo posted:I'd actually be interested to see what the MLB would look like if pitchers had to throw tennis balls and just how far those balls would go. Not as far as baseballs. They are lighter/have less mass and more surface area. So they create more friction in the air. Can't be thrown as fast, are harder to control and won't go as far.

Soccer/Football Problem:Low scoring/flopping/extra time Solutions: This is a serious post so here are some serious answers: There is no reason to have a continually moving clock. If the ball goes out, stop the clock. If play stops due to a guy falling, stop the clock. Goal? Stop the clock. It's just silly to let it run and leads to flopping. This will remove extra time from the game. Another problem is limited substitutions. This also leads to flopping and pointless stoppages. Just let the coaches sub players in as needed. You will have fresher players and better play as a result. This also opens up this rule change: if you flop over for whatever reason and pretend or are really hurt, you have to leave the field. You can come back, of course, but not till the next substitution stoppage. I think these changes would make for a better game. I'd be curious to hear how I am an idiot, though, because I am fairly new to the sport and am looking with US sports biased eyes.

Sash! posted:So to be profitable, baseball has to have ten times the games as the most popular sport in the country? Maybe baseball has more serious problems than I thought. Baseball is supposed to be played during the day. It's the summer game. There is more money if they play night games, but it still has some roots in its origins. The season was 154 for many years until they expanded it. It comes with the Spring and leaves us in the Fall. Baseball is life.
