Sure, doubles and triples are down, but this was one of the most exciting baseball seasons in my recent memory. I would rather MLB not punish innovation.
By analogy, take soccer. Could you imagine how stupid it would be if FIFA outlawed the 4-3-3? Or keepers playing out with their feet.

“Imagine there was a curved line in the outfield."
ICYMI: The gapper is dead. Doubles hit their lowest rate in 3 decades. Triples are at their lowest rate ever.
So who killed the double & triple? And what can MLB do about it?

Armed with analytics, teams are playing outfielders deeper than ever, and doubles and triples are vanishing. Can a rule change fix this?

Kahless tells us time is the one enemy no warrior can defeat. In the end, it is how you spent your that time matters most. Spend it being honorable, strong, and kind. Do this and time will not be your enemy, but your gift to those who will be glad to have known you.

Zohran Mamdani caught lying that he understood Plato’s allegory of the cave, yet when asked to explain it, he seemed to instead explain Baudrillard’s theory of Simulacra and Simulation where reality has been replaced by symbols and signs, which seems similar to Plato’s theory but is not the same

Just found another occurrence in the wild of “one bad apple,” to label one person’s misbehavior as isolated, with zero awareness that the phrase continues “…ruins the bunch.” Maybe consider using “bad egg?” I’ve cracked a bad egg, and I’ve never see one contaminate a neighbor.
