Connecticut Governor Pitches Rule Change As Teams Keep Walking Judge

As Aaron Decide’s chase for the American League house run document continues, followers are beginning to get pissed off.

Not as a result of Decide has not but hit his 61st dinger of the 12 months—although they actually are longing for him to take action—however as a result of ever since he reached the 60-homer mark, opposing pitchers have stopped throwing him pitches to hit.

Getting into Wednesday, Decide has performed seven homer-less video games since tying Babe Ruth at 60 on Sept. 20. In 31 plate appearances, Decide has walked a whopping 12 occasions. That included 4 walks on Tuesday, which introduced the frustration to a boiling level—a minimum of for one Northeastern politician.

Connecticut governor Ned Lamont weighed in on the matter on Wednesday, suggesting a rule change that may reward Decide with an additional base for every subsequent stroll in the identical sport. That might imply that Decide’s fourth stroll on Tuesday can be equal to a house run, bringing the interminable look ahead to Decide to interrupt the document to a merciful finish.

Whereas Lamont’s concept could sound excessive, maybe he has a degree. What did Decide do in his first at-bat on Wednesday? That’s proper: He walked.
