Stupid rules ..

While Im not against the runner on second during extra innings.. I think the most idiotic rule in MLB is the 3 batter minimum for relief pitchers. If I can choose having the runner on second in extra innings before I start my Franchise, then why can't I choose to have the 3 batter min on or off?
This should be an option as well .

Re: Stupid rules ..

I still play MLBTS19 because of this.
I have finally come to terms with all the new rules and now dont mind playing with them in The Show but IRL MLB the one thing new I still hate and refuse to accept isnt a rule, its those stupid city connect uni's. Other than Boston,they are all garbage IMO.
The Yankees have the right idea.

Re: Stupid rules ..

Banning the shift was the most egregious, IMO

Probably better for the game though, wasn't hard to make a great living getting cheap doubles to L/R field

I like some but if I had to pick the worst of them, Boston's would be at the top. Different strokes....

Moving a middle fielder one or two steps on either side of 2nd base isn't really banning the shift,is it?

Re: Stupid rules ..

I think I like Boston's city connect because it reminds me of the Boston Marathon.

The reason I didnt want a universal DH is because I wanted a real difference between the two leagues.
If they could give us one more rule we could opt in/out on , it would be the 3 batter minimum rule.
If I could get rid of one rule IRL MLB, I dont know that I could decide between the universal DH and the auto runner in extra innings. Probably the auto runner.

Just wait. Yankees will join in eventually. Greed always wins.
