In a very clear way, the 2018 All-Star Game, held last week in Washington, DC, is the current representative of baseball. Ten home runs set the historical record for the Midsummer Classic, almost double the previous six games.
The production of this long ball is the hallmark of this season. In the long history of baseball, this season is more than any other year. This statistic is not the only record that has been eclipsed in 2018, and the All-Star Game also reflects this.
Now 25 percent of the players' time is amazing, and this frequency will lead to a record number of strikeouts in 2018. There is no doubt that the pitchers in the midsummer classics have instigated a total of twenty-five batters.
Just as this highly promoted game underscores the sport's reliance on home runs and strikes, this is another game a week ago, which is the epitome of some of the biggest problems of baseball teams. Commissioner Rob Manfred and the officials around the sport would rather ignore the game, considering that there are very few people actually seen, which is easy to do.
The Tampa Bay Rays competed in the Marlins in Miami on July 3. It was a home run and should be aroused in the spring training home and three pennants. In order to emphasize the serious attendance of baseball where there have been more than 20 years of existence, only 6,000 people participated.
The game itself took place in sixteen innings, dragging it for nearly six hours, with forty-four different batsmen between the two clubs. Eighteen different pitchers took the mound, and three others were beaten in a local position at a time in Bore-a-thon, Sunshine State.
When it finally ended, an estimated 200 fans were left in the seat. The Miami Frontline Office rewards those loyal souls by giving two free tickets to everyone.
For them and most other great fans, the better gift is to adapt the sport to the extra rules of the beginning of this year. If they are tied in the ninth inning, each team will start running in the second game. This situation almost guarantees that a game will be determined long before Tampa Bay finally defeats Miami's 16th inning.
In addition to the fact that the game was too long, the night also revealed another problem that plagued the sport. It must force the National League to adopt the specified batter rule.
Because they played in Miami, the light had to allow their pitchers to hit the ball. This rule may not be a new issue for the starting pitcher, and the pitcher has become accustomed to getting at least one appearance in the league on the road.
However, having to have a bat is a real problem for many rescuers of the staff, because most of them have never been swinging throughout the season. What happens when they are forced to assume such a role is exactly what happened to the Tampa rescuers that night.
Left-handed Vidal Nuna injured his hamstrings after hitting the ground and hit the first base, causing him to be placed on the 10-day disabled list. If a baseball enforces a universal DH rule, then the damage will never happen, and it is also possible to avoid using extra rules at the major league level, not just the ministerial level.
