My dad has a clear opinion on the rumored “Golden At-Bat” rule
22 comments
It’s the stupidest idea I’ve ever heard
This would not be baseball.
It could kill my love for the game.
I’m with your dad. I despise Manfred. Truly.
I agree with him 100% here.
One of the many ways Baseball is unique is because it forces a nobody on your team to step up in a big moment whether they like it or not, unlike any other major sport. This rule fundamentally changes that dynamic.
MLB needs to stop with these sandlot rules
oh boy
I’m gonna text my dad about it and pretend to like the idea so he has a heart attack and disowns me
This is literally a banana ball rule. Absolute madness
Manfred is a clown
Might as well throw in the “Moneyball” rule from one of the leagues in Saudi Arabia, wherein each team gets a golden “Moneyball” that they can use whenever that doubles any runs scored while it’s in play.
Lmfao
This what the NL old heads said would happen after universal DH and we didn’t listen.
Am I your Dad??
I think once during a season a team should get to select a 12 to 14 year old kid from the stands to pitch for the rest of the season or until his arm goes back to normal.
Following the next software update the base runner will be upgraded to do a “ground pound” stunning all the fielders in a 5-foot radius.
Teams will be awarded 1 free homerun token per game.
Home field advantage will come with a save point in the seventh inning allowing for the redo of the eighth and ninth innings after a loss.
Last but not least the winner of the home run derby’s team gets a blue Koopa shell that when implemented knocks every team in their division down one spot in the standings and the first place team in corresponding league gets booted to last place.
While controversial these updates to the programming will increase user satisfaction resulting in greater playability and much needed revenue from in game microtransactions.
Golden At-Bat? WTF?
Man I’m so glad I gave up contemporary sports once the leagues all got in bed with Official Gambling “Partners”™.
We will no longer have to wait for Shohei!!!!!! Put him in at every at bat.
But seriously, who thought of this. Just seems like one of the owners (if they came up with it) thinks it’ll boost up ratings if it allows the stars to step up, but that’s not how the sport works!
Yeah this is absolutely a dogshit idea. This is baseball, not fucking Survivor. Keep your secret hidden immunity idol bat out of my MLB parks. Better yet, shove it up your ass.

I’d rather see a Golden Umpire rule.
Your dad is on to something.
Hate Manfred and his rule changes.
Multiball! Multiball! Blern! Bleeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrnn
