What you guys choose to do on your side of the border, more power to you, but there’s only one mlb team on your side, have some respect and use F. Do you see yards and cm painted on the outfield walls?
Well, those are clear reasons to improve. Bases and rules mean more action and could be more outs too. Shifts actually take time amigo. We don’t need an NFL 40 second play clock for them to get into position and it also helps it not be so stupid with 4 guys on one side of the infield. And yeah, it helps offense
Again, s*** just sailing over your head as usual. The focus right now is clearly shorten the game time. Many objective people outside the scope of lifelong purists would agree this is probably the biggest need to address to keep MLB with NFL and NBA with this new gen.
Offense can be a later concern
There’s always two sides to the coin. When there’s a clear opportunity to improve, it’s worth it. What you’re suggesting isn’t really an improvement. People like home runs and they also like guys throwing 99. Expediting the end of 2-1 and 3-2 games isn’t a bad thing. It’s still gripping to watch. Changing out pitchers each inning (calls to BP mid-inning) is bad, and that’s where they started to address things.
As JH said above, really what matters and what they’re clearly tackling from different angles, is game flow. I don’t think there’s any need to change fundamentally how teams are built
I remember he’s talk about J-Rod and I’m like “who the f*** is J-Rod” and then looked at his roster and figured out it was this green prospect with pop
I’m not sure many people “like it”. I would wager most don’t, but accept it for the intended purpose. I’m not sure on the players take, but o would be surprised if the majority weren’t in favor
Yeah, just like the pitch clock/runner rule, have to mess with tradition to evolve and stay in tune with the current generation. Only the old timers long for the 16 inning 2-1 games
Yeah, it was a pretty clean game. I don’t think you call that but I’m sure they’re worried about not calling something and dealing with that. Lousy way to decide the game though. Pretty sure most people can agree to that
