re: Besides 0-0 what do you think is the most common MLB score?

and if it's multiple runs, then it won't be 1-1.
it can NEVER be 1-1 without it being 1-0 first
guess we need a definition of "common"
is he going by any score that ever exists? then yeah 1-0 would be the next most common.
if he's going by number of innings that end with a particular score, then 1-0 may not be second.
0

Show me where the sea level is rising.
if we talking the height of the river, that actually is going up.
not because of more water, but because the levees prevent the sediment from spreading out, so it builds up in the lower parts of the river. and in turn the height of the river also goes up.
New Orleans is sinking. River is going up.
no bueno for the city....eventually

no one thing will "kill" the sport.
but, these things

have made me increasingly less interested in the sport as a whole and I'm nowhere near as invested in the season as I once was.

baseball games take too long AND there's very little actual action.
hate to break it too you, but there is actually more "down time" in a football game than there is in a baseball game.
quote:
A college football game consists of 60 minutes of official game time (four 15-minute quarters), but the average amount of "actual action"—defined as the time from when the ball is snapped until the play ends—is only about 11 to 15 minutes per game. Despite this, games typically last over 3.5 hours, with the rest of the time spent on commercials, huddles, and timeouts
quote:
An average baseball game (similar for college and MLB) contains roughly 15 to 18 minutes of live action. While games last 2.5 to 3+ hours, "action" is defined as time when the ball is in play, including pitches, fouls, and base running, making up about 10% of the total game time.

Under your rule, coach can’t make a change based on what the pitcher tells him when he comes out there.

Correct. And, in practice, that almost never happens anyway.
um, it happens all the fricking time.
coaches regularly use the mound visit/discussion to help make his decision to change pitchers or not
it may not be THE deciding factor, but it absolutely plays a part in the decision.
and I'm not talking about injuries either.
how fatigued the guy may be, ball not acting the way he's wanting it to, head ain't right after a bad result on a previous pitch, etc.
that's info that isn't readily available without talking to the pitcher first.
sure you can take a guess based on your view from the dugout, but you don't actually know until the conversation happens.

An umpire that has numerous calls challenged successfully should be expelled from home plate duties.
except we’ve already pointed out the flaws in the ABS system
this is a strike according to the rule book.
ABS would call it a ball.
this is also a strike according to the rule book.
but ABS would call it a ball.
this call was wrong by less than a milimeter. and actually if the ABS plane was 8-1/2” closer to the mound (at front edge of plate) it wouldn’t have been overturned at all.
this one was off by 0.1” and got overturned.

What are the flaws of a 100% electronic system?
it uses the black of the plate, which according to the rules is not part of the trike zone.
it only reads ball at the midpoint of the plate leaving the front 8-1/2” uncovered despite being a part of the strike zone.
as the guy before me pointed out, there are external factors that can affect the equipment’s accuracy readings.

The challenge system is so stupid. Just automate every single pitch and buzz the umpire in real time to alert whether it’s a strike or ball.
because theres's major flaws with the ABS system too.
using a hybrid model between the two is better than using strictly one or the other.

should there be a limit on the number of pitchers that can be used in a single game?
not the number of pitchers, no.
too many variables...injuries, pitch counts, etc.
maybe some variation of the MLB rule where a pitcher has to face a minimum of "X" amount of batters or something.

they're also some very protective as a group.
a few years ago I cam home from work to find one wounded and stuck in my patio area behind my old apartment.
I tried to catch it to set it free and anytime I got close, 3 or 4 others that were hanging out on the power lines overhead would start divebombing me.

| Role | Typical success rate |
| ------------ | -------------------- |
| **Catchers** | ~56–62% |
| **Hitters** | ~46–50% |
| **Pitchers** | ~41–45% |
even taking emotion out of it, these numbers make sense.
basically the better your point of view of a pitch crossing the plate, the better you are at challenging them.

I'd go as far as to say the first one ain't a strike.
since ABS uses the black of the plate, you're right....it's probably not a strike.
found the graphic with MLB umpire rankings in early April of this year
but since ABS literally shows how far/close the ball was, I think that info should be given along with how many misses.
if one umpire gets 75% of his call over turned, and his misses are by less than half an inch, he's still better than an umpire who has 65% of his call over turned, but is off by 2" on most of those misses,
