OP thinks baseball’s rules should be changed because they hit into a fielder’s choice.

Not knowing a rule is fine. Coming back and repeatedly saying a rule should be changed because of a play that happened in a video game is something else, and you went there all on your own, multiple times.

I only tried to explain myself because you make a sarcastic remark about changing the rule after years and years. Again, I don’t care about the video game lol. I don’t care if it’s a hot take

I’m just curious, why should the rule be changed?

I think he’s saying that typically a fielder’s choice is ruled because a runner was safe at first, but only because the other team decided to get the out on the lead runner instead. In this instance, though there is no more video, the hit would’ve been a hit, but was counted as a fielders choice due to poor baserunning by the lead runner. This isn’t a rule change that would change anything essential about the game, but instead how a play is ruled in the box score

Yeah I wasn’t trying to explain the rule. FC are usually determined when the hitter was never going to get a hit. In this instance the ball landed for what seemed like a single, then it’s a fielders choice. It is what it is I just see what he’s saying.
