Cut down the dead time. It’s all I want.
Pitch clocks, in between batter clocks, no stepping out of the box, time limits on video reviews, fewer warmup pitches.
The game has to start moving faster. It’s not about total game time. It’s about pace.

What would you change about MLB?
Bernie

Electronic balls and strikes
Jesse Pinkman
11/20/19 10:48am
100% agree
Bernie
11/20/19 10:49am
No DH
rcbyufan

Both Leagues need to have the same rule regarding DH atleast
MikeDitka'sStache
11/20/19 10:54am
Yep, and I think we should make QBs play defense as well in the NFL

That's not a very good comparison or argument...

Its a good comparison for how stupid I think it is to have pitchers hit. It is

You are entitled to your opinion. I'd rather see specialists hit. Platoon

If you want best facing best then we should have more DH's, No?

Catchers play all of the time that can't hit...

And teams decide what tradeoff they want in that case, at least that are hitting

11/20/19 12:21pm
The best argument that a person can make in favor of a DH is simply that...
CoachSpeak
11/20/19 1:22pm
Pitchers are not drafted because of their ability to hit. They aren't trained

Attendance numbers disagree with you. Teams with better attendance tend to be

Revenue numbers also disagree. MLB has set revenue records for 16 straight

Correlation vs causation. Also, attendance isn't the primary driver for $.

11/20/19 2:28pm
You're the one who claimed more fans would come to games if there was a DH

I did not claim that. I claimed that younger fans care less about having

Again, what you posted is 100% opinion with no supporting facts

Where did I state anything as a fact? I made a post about what the MLB should
cougaman

But there is no evidence it would help it either...
CoachSpeak

Which makes your argument no more valid than my argument

Sure, it's just opinion based on what we each like....

Maybe shorten the schedule a bit

Ditto for the NBA

NBA needs a shorter schedule even more so IMHO

Shorter season — No, just need to expand the active calendar to space games out

The NBA season already goes from the middle of October until the last week

Just call any throw to 1st base to attempt a pick off a ball and give pitchers 5

So after one pickoff throw runenrs can take as big of a lead as they want?
Genghis Spreads
11/20/19 11:08am
You would get 5 balls to work with
nephicoug
11/20/19 11:11am
so if you ever get behind in the count it’s basically a free base
Bernie
11/20/19 11:12am
You got to throw strikes
nephicoug
11/20/19 11:42am
shorter schedule, time management (pitch clock), electronic measurements (balls/strikes, base tags)
Bob Vance

I like the electronic strike calls and time management rule ideas. I'd also add

Standardize the definition of a “check swing” so it’s called more consistently.
