And go to 7 innings and switch to aluminum bats. Oh, and a batter/pitcher clock.

Yes 7 innings would help as well. Also DH in both leagues (reduce number of pitching changes)

PinaColada · Feb 9, 2020

Baseball doesn't need much to change. 150 game season and they absolutely need a time limit for pitches. These 4+ hour games are killer.

Orange Piccolo · Feb 9, 2020

Still can't believe this is a thing.

MLB slugfest rules. Can punch, throw elbows on the base paths, set bats on fire.

Okay. That would be pretty cool. Would certainly deserve the X title in the name.

I have a question about the bats. If they are going to be on fire for the whole game, what material would they be made from?

Beside that niggle it's a sound idea

Just stick with Flowers. What do you have to lose?

He can't throw which is why he's running every play he's in.

Probably switch to aluminum at that point lol. Can recycle after melting point 😂

The MLB can start by reducing the length of the season by like ...half.

This is my biggest problem with baseball.

DrewFu · Feb 9, 2020

Also baseball needs ties. You get ONE extra inning, and if a team can't win, it's a tie and everyone moves on with life.

PinaColada · Feb 9, 2020

Was that Brian Cox doing the McDonald's ad?

Murray can't throw either lol

For sure. 16 inning games are silly.

Flowers can throw. Not great mind but on par with Murray.

Doran · Feb 9, 2020

Nice throw and catch there. Hope to see more Flowers next week.

The_Inquisitor · Feb 9, 2020

Just FYI storms are already rolling through DFW. We will see how it affects the game.

Doran · Feb 9, 2020

The production has been shockingly good considering its the 1st week of a new league.

No QB in this league can throw great. That's why they're in here. And there's nothing wrong with a run-based QB if the offense dictates that.

I'm honestly shocked that Dallas isn't playing in Jerryworld.

Lol

Maybe tungsten? Or is that not possible?

Maybe a XLS as well. Was thinking if this a few months ago. 30 aside (including a keeper) with fouling allowed. That would ensure every game is exciting.

KadeYuy · Feb 9, 2020

Tampa sucks huh

Violence Jack · Feb 9, 2020

LOL

Vipers are allergic to the end zone

UnknownSpirit · Feb 9, 2020

Tampa might be worse than Seattle.

PinaColada · Feb 9, 2020

Doesn't even get the ball out on 4th down. Ouch!

Sparkedglory2 · Feb 9, 2020

The vipers are so damn bad 😂

DrewFu · Feb 9, 2020

Teams like the Vipers could be a problem for the XFL. If there are teams that are so bad, that they're unwatchable, that isn't good for the league.

Brinbe · Feb 9, 2020

matt mcgloin winning in 2020

xfl talent is not great
they need to drastically work on that but i doubt it. they don't want talent overshadowing the league. vince gonna vince

Striker · Feb 9, 2020

Gilbride is a good dude. Jerry Reese ruined his offense 😞

Strictly speaking for the Production Values, its as good as the NFL.

The_Inquisitor · Feb 9, 2020

It's week one yall. It's going to take some time for teams to find their footing.

Joliet Jake · Feb 9, 2020

Every idea to change baseball in this thread is terrible.

A reduction in the number of games played is not a terrible idea lol. Who wants to watch a team that's already 20-60? 80 games or so is more than enough to determine what teams are playoff capable.

Blitzrules240 · Feb 9, 2020

Pat McAfee!

The_Inquisitor · Feb 9, 2020

If you see reduced crowds at all it's because we are under a hail risk after 7pm. Surreal seeing football at the ballpark.

Stoopkid · Feb 9, 2020

Big game bob!

The_Inquisitor · Feb 9, 2020

I wonder how the ballpark will evolve over the next couple of years or whether they will just elect to demolish it if this league takes off. Ideally i would love if they build a new stadium where reunion arena is then i would go to every game.

DrewFu · Feb 9, 2020

I see ESPN (similar to ABC) is running then damn scroll on the bottom of the screen, taking up a ton of space.

Fox's presentation is so much better than what ESPN is doing.

Well Reese at least tried to trade, sign offensive lineman. MARC ROSS OTOH.

Doran · Feb 9, 2020

Love these BattleHawks uniforms. Glad I really did my research before I chose them as my forever team.

Kcoe27400 · Feb 9, 2020

Lets go Battlehawks. We got a running game and we going all the way.

DrewFu · Feb 9, 2020

STL has good looking helmets. That's how you do helmet graphics.

BourbonJungle · Feb 9, 2020

Watching on TSN (in Canada) and it's funny seeing an AEW ad in the ticker on the bottom of the screen.

BFIB · Feb 9, 2020

EnlightenedMint · Feb 9, 2020

Ha, so that's where King ended up.

PinaColada · Feb 9, 2020

Ka Kaw! Battlehawks unis are awesome

Soapbox Killer · Feb 9, 2020

Whats the Bowl Game going to he called? Or os it just the XFL Championship?

AMAGON · Feb 9, 2020

Just dropping into this thread but what is the consensus so far as there is 12 page going on here, good, bad?

PinaColada · Feb 9, 2020

I loathe watching ESPN/ABC. They are just shit with their graphics and tickers.
