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

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

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

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?

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

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.

Nah, framing pitches and setting up pitches by changing the eye levels

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

I don't understand banning the shift.

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

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.

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.

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

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

It is allowed, just do so at your own risk

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

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