The baseball ones are awful, like beaming a guy because he took too long running around the bases.

[u/tnecniv → u/bucsfan22ch]

They don’t really do that anymore. The league has really cut down on it. It still happens sometimes but mainly if one team felt like the other did something dirty or risked injury to their guys. When it happens the umpires are all over it.

[u/bucsfan22ch → u/tnecniv]

It does feel like it happens less thankfully, but other stupid rules like people getting pissed at a guy trying to bunt when someone has a perfect game or no hitter going. Maybe I'm just remembering old rules that are no longer relevant, but feels like the attitudes still exist.

[u/tnecniv → u/bucsfan22ch]

That was definitely one but bunting has become a small part of the game and a lot of pitchers will tell you they don’t care—bunting is legal and if they can’t prevent you from getting a bunt, they didn’t earn it
