| They should have minus one point and two point home runs, based on the park. Hit one out of Crosby counts for two. Mash one out of Millken counts for minus one. Creative at least.

Holy %#>% people. Get a grip. Now, let me preface my comments by stating that there is certainly room for improvement with this plus 2 rule. That being said, wrap your idiotic heads around this fact, hitting a long ball is an accomplishment. Not impressed with Crosby Park? It doesn't sound impressive until you take into account that the balls are altered every year to fly less distance. It's downright miraculous that most teams are even remotely close to deploying the plus 2 rule. Think about that for a second, and then return to your miserable lives. Pathetic, overreactive, uneducated losers most of you commenters are. Just sayin'...

| Let's face it. Hitting a dinger is no longer priceless in today's game.
That's why it is so important to consciously ensure we protect all of our infielders epically the pitchers. It helps us to have a better understanding about the history and tradition of this league. Change the rule back to a walk.

| Why should we change the plus two home run rule when most people can't hit five in a year - but the pitchers must stand and smile after being hit and isn't allowed to be angry? Utter hypocrisy.

| JAG,
You write garbage on this site. Remember this.Some words remind us of who we are, some remind us of where we've been, the most important are the words of encouragement we give each other. I am going to guess that you have not hit a home run in 12 years, accurate ?
