This league is the WWE of baseball. The stealing first rule is the dumbest rule in the history of sports....and it's not close

I found the above experimental rule change as interesting, but quite frankly don't know how often it would be used. One of the rules proposed benefits a runner on a pick-off, which naturally a baserunner dad would like. The one rule I think I really like of the four proposed changes is that you can bunt foul once on two strikes and it is a foul, not a strikeout.
