Every baseball game should be decided by a swing-off

I like the swing off. The end of game is great. I want everything decided by swing offs now. Regular season baseball games swing off... child custody hearings swing off.

Hot Take Baseball Scorching SubjectiveSarcastic

Clearly a satirical suggestion for MLB and legal reform.

Kyle Schwarber is the greatest home run hitter in the game

Kyle Schwarber is the man. What a monster. Three swings, three dongs, three no-doubters. He hit three home runs in three swings, absolute monsters. He's the best. I fucking love him forever.

Opinion Baseball Medium Subjective

This take is subjective as 'the best' is an opinion, though Schwarber did win the hypothetical swing-off in the transcript context.

Aaron Judge showed bad leadership by leaving the All-Star Game early

Bad leadership by Aaron Judge at the All Star Game. [Ohtani and Judge] were probably on a plane... it did feel like the National League manager was trying to win harder than the American League manager.

Hot Take Baseball Hot SubjectiveSarcastic

The concept of 'leadership' in an exhibition game is inherently subjective.

The Home Run Derby format is broken and needs to return to 10 outs per round

The Home Run Derby sucks anyway. We forget every single year, then we're like, 'Oh yeah, you can't actually see the home runs land and the next swing happen at the same time.' I hate the time. Just go back to 10 outs. Make it simple. It's so easy. It was such a 'not broken, don't fix it' situation. 10 outs. Just do it every time. They just got cute with it.
