1. I suppose there has been more than one hit that scored runs after after a balk, thus the change, in OBR. The players want the stats, and accepting the result of the play for a hit ball is often a worse penalty than the dead ball balk penalty.

2. It makes little sense to me to advance a runner who was obstructed, but not being played upon.

3. Keeping one foot in the box is the best game time management rule ever invented.

4. Another good time management rule is the dead ball appeal. Really, why should the ball need to be alive to appeal a runner missing a base?

5. FED DH rules seems as easy as OBR, only in FED you can DH for anyone in the lineup.

I like the following FED rules.

1. Malicious contact.

2. FPSR.

3. Only one offensive conference per inning.

I don't like the following FED rules.

1. Courtesy run for the catcher or pitcher at any time, catcher with two outs. It often takes more time to get a courtesy runner on the field than it does for the catcher to hustle in, get his gear on, and relieve whomever was warming up the pitcher.
