 Man, baseball needs to get rid of the drop third strike rule. Here's the rule. If a catcher fails to catch a ball on the third strike and first base is open, or there are two outs, then the batter becomes a runner. In other words, if a pitcher throws a filthy pitch like a curveball in the dirt and gets the batter to swing on the third strike, or if the catcher for whatever reason drops the ball, the batter has the chance to be safe at first base. So the pitcher gets penalized for doing his job well, that literally makes zero sense. There's not even a reason for this rule, it doesn't even serve a purpose. Why should the pitcher get penalized for fooling a batter? Also, rarely do players who run to first base actually make it to the bag. More often than not, they don't run or barely get out of the batter's box by the time the catcher tags them, or throws the ball to first base. No one has time for that, just like you probably don't have time to watch this entire video. In the late 1800s, it used to be eight balls before you drew a walk. Now it's four. Things change and for the better. Could you imagine a game like that today? You're racing this rule to go unnoticed by most people and could possibly help the game shorter. And that's my stance on why baseball needs to drop this rule.
