gridlore: The word Giants over a baseball (Baseball - SF Giants)
I have an idea to speed up MLB games. Under the current rules, hitting a foul ball can cost you the first or second strike, but not the third strike.

This can lead to endless at-bats where the player with two strikes on him will flail away at anything even close to the strike zone to stay alive, resulting in long, drawn-out plate appearances.

So here's my proposed rule change: once a batter has two strikes against him, hitting three consecutive foul balls results in a strike three being called, and that batter is retired.

Whadda y'all think?
