    Or just move all the fences out to 700 ft.

    Or make HR automatic ground rule triples.

      Eliminate fences entirely. Have the field be infinite, like God and Abner intended. This would also eliminate wrap-around seating which is another tool of the devil. Stadiums should be open to the sky above and to the fields (mountains, ocean, whatever) beyond.

      When Trout is up play 3 IF and station a rover OF deep in the pull field. 500-foot long outs.

      Allow hitters to re-round the bases on the longest hits. Inside the park 7-baggers.

        Cubbies commit two errors and give up 4 runs in the first. They come back in the bottom with a single, two doubles and three home runs for a 5-4 lead, still with only one out.

        Wind blowing out at Wrigley, so hold onto your hats.

            Bottom of the third. Two more home runs, one a slam, and it's 10-4. This is not your daddy's baseball. Those guys cannot sacrifice bunt to save their souls.

            Edit: After the slam, three straight walks. Ugly.

                  Best part is the guy getting the save in a 17-8 win.

                    Such a bipolar team. Score 10 or 15, then get blanked two games in a row.

                      Ha
                      Wasn’t there a game In the last six or seven years where a team won by 30 runs and still got a save? I want to say it was the rangers.

                        Pitch the last three innings as a reliever, you get a save regardless of the score. Wouldn't shock me.

                          Speaking of pitching in high scoring games. Cubs with 10 part way through the 6th, and the Pirates reliever hits 3 of the 5 batters he faces. Benches clear, of course, then he walks the next.

                          Edit: Next batter up homers to make it 13 - 1. 30 runs scored in 15 innings so far. These Pirates pitchers are ready for the golf course.

                            The Rangers put up 30 against Baltimore. It was the first time anybody broke 30 in the WS Era.

                              That must have been impossible to watch--for both team's fans. Half that is difficult.

                              That Baltimore loss must have been late in the year.

                                August 22, 2007.

                                Both teams had equally dismal records at that point (Tex 55-70, Bal 58-66)

                                Texas only scored runs in *four* of the nine innings, and it was 5-3 Texas after five innings.


                                Here's the kicker: that was game one of a double header.

                                Texas beat the Orioles 9-7 in the second game. Orioles took the lead 7-6 in the bottom of the seventh only to blow it in the eighth.
