Why would I want to see ground balls become hits? I don't want the bats juiced so that most ground balls are killed so hard it's difficult to defend. If you're hitting the ball on the ground in the direction of an infielder, you don't usually deserve a hit, so I'm fine with those not being affected.
I just want the pitcher rewarded for forcing someone into weak contact, and I want the hitter rewarded if the pitcher makes a mistake and the hitter makes good contact. That's it. Honestly, no decisions should be made simply to increase numbers. If you're not a good hitter, you shouldn't have good numbers.
