Since it’s the annual season of non-baseball fans moaning about baseball dying

Quick pitching vs long waits is a big part of baseball, I say who cares about

GlutealGuy

No it’s not. I’ve never heard anyone care about this

Memmo

^never made it past little league

Stop it. Absolutely not true. And nobody will miss quick pitch gimmicks or guys

Its why I can watch College softball but not a regular season baseball game

The pitch clock has been successful in the minors, I think it's the best idea

Baseball is doing great, but I agree some things need to change. Most important change IMHO is more balls in play and

Honestly, baseball needs to reduce the number of games.

This - April and Oct/Nov games in NY are often ridiculously cold. Start in May and end is Sept. I'm a fan of the pitch

You aren't advocating for the playoffs to not take place in October, are you?

shimmy

I’m not sure what is gained by a shorter season. It’s just less baseball.

Memmo

10/6/21 10:45am

I don't like paying for games in my season ticket package that aren't fun because it's cold. And yes... I've been to

The only thing I'd change is electronic assisted balls and strikes. Baseball

I love baseball but it's not perfect. Baseball has changed a lot over the decades over the objection of traditionalists.

Amen!! It's the art in the game!!

I don't want this, but I DO want to fire/demote objectively terrible umps.

I don't understand banning the shift.

ReyOso

10/6/21 10:42am

But there really isn’t. The defense is in a major position of advantage with

I don't know, it seems the same as pulling in the infield against bunts.

A more consistent strike zone would help batters deal with it

Colorado

10/6/21 11:01am

Not really. A 95 mph fastball or a MLB curveball in on your hands is just about

I played in a slow pitch softball tourney once that only let the losing team bat

Whelp, I've found it. The worst suggestion ever.

shimmy

10/6/21 10:51am

Haha. It would never work in MLB because of pitching. It worked for co-ed softba

Any rule that improves co-Ed softball is good with me.

Memmo

10/6/21 10:54am

I've never heard that one before.

It is a bit crazy…but the games averaged 40 minutes as a result.

FromCAtoUT

10/6/21 11:00am

Also, can we allow actual celebrations when someone goes yard?

XORCoug

10/6/21 10:51am

It is allowed, just do so at your own risk

GlutealGuy

10/6/21 11:05am

I know, it's an unwritten rule. Still stupid.

XORCoug

10/6/21 11:14am

I think it's stupid that the umps throw guys out or give warnings
