@EddyBratz @BaseballDudes48 Similarly, short stops without strong arms can’t wait on the ball and play with their heels on the outfield grass.

@Mphil622544 @DanishVagabond @Carson_OKC A more understandable equivalent would be the targeting rules in football, which do not require intent and come with an ejection.

@QualkTalk Just this week the Atlanta Braves played Sunday afternoon in Atlanta and then Monday night in San Diego.

@thegoochyy @AgentSmith34 Baseball to me is most similar to soccer in terms of a cultural fit, but baseball will play until there’s a winner. They made rule changes for extra innings that made it simpler to achieve a winner without sacrificing the fabric of the game.

@GINGER_ROCKET99 In baseball, the playoffs are a hard to predict. The top teams have an advantage, but the underdogs win all the time.

@DowneyJD You think each of these countries, some of which are tiny, are filling these massive venues every night?

@Steve_Austria07 @Chase_Senior @1985Pete Our soccer culture is a work in progress, but our college football atmosphere is electric. The rules are secondary. Spectacle controls.

[Ben Wallace @wallace_ben_w]

@Steve_Austria07 @Chase_Senior @1985Pete The team with the ball tries to score. The team without the ball tries to punish them for trying.

@VelvetBarstool @steakshapiro Across age groups and different parts of the country.

@ghostdog310 @OverEHill True, but all of those teams are going to have to play US in a chaotic home environment.

[Ben Wallace @wallace_ben_w]

@quasdawg @zayjco The US could bring one of the big marching bands from the SEC or Big 10 and completely turn the place upside down.

@zayjco Watching a blue collar anthem written by a classic American songwriter about an entirely different part of the country both physically and culturally being belted at a stadium in Seattle was just awesome to watch.

@espn The most reasonable answer seems to be allowing a franchise to host a pride night, but not requiring player participation.

@Michaelfiore U.S. also has several other major sporting events going on simultaneously - NBA finals, Stanley Cup, and College World Series.

[Ben Wallace @wallace_ben_w]

@stillnez216 I mean, this would be a penalty in a football game too.

[Ben Wallace @wallace_ben_w]

@ChrisVannini NCAA also left out arguably the best mid major team in the country - Mercer.

@balkwhisperer As I view it, umps in correct position and made a judgment call. That’s baseball.

@rap_cat @bluestein Jordan is pronounced “Jurdun” across most of Georgia.

@Seth_3773 Eject the runner. If my kid was the runner, I’d yank him off the field. If my kid was the catcher, I’d yank him off the field if the umpire didn’t eject the runner.

@D_lowww @icantdribbIe @lisizac007 @MLB @Braves The playoffs are a crap shoot. The Braves' best best in October is to keep Chris Sale healthy. The offense is good. The bullpen is good. The rotation is going to be the question.
