I say drop the mound in baseball if for no other reason, it'll reduce injuries.

Posted by Will Hunting (aka JoeMetz) Feb 6 '19, 10:23

one of the early steps to Tommy John Surgery recovery is throwing off flat ground. If flat is best, flatter than now is likely better than now.

I saw an idea that would invert the draft a bit, all the non-playoff teams get picks inversely (the best non-playoff team gets the #1)

Too many teams are not trying to put a competitive team on the field

they should make it lower than home plate so the pitchers have to throw uphill -- nm - decline Feb 6, 10:37 1
- brilliant, then if the batter hits a line drive up the middle, the pitcher can duck into his fox hole -- nm - zeitgeist Feb 6, 11:17
Yes, drop the mound, give it to the NBA instead. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 6, 10:26
