Amazed at how horrible this idea is..

Actually kind of interested. Wouldn't like this in a playoff scenario though

Ehh i dunno. If they want to do that if teams get to like a 15th inning, then fine i guess.

rob manfred is cancer to baseball

I have no problem with them trying to speed the game up a little bit. Between switching multiple relievers per inning later in the game, mound visits and every batter stepping out of the box it's def slowed down a lot in the last 20 years. No pitch intentional walk is a no brainer also....don't like him touching the strike zone though

I was against the idea of these changes at first, but then I heard the average game last year was 3 hours and 26 minutes and yeah, that's way too long...I may not like some of the changes proposed, but I can certainly see why they'd have to do something. It's still a business in the end.

the mound visits and staying in the box changes I have no issue with but the intentional walk change is just sad to me. there's so many factors with the intentional walk that can come into play. the batter could get a base hit/make contact, there could be a passed ball, an error made etc. taking away the element of having to pitch takes away the batter's opportunity and an element of purity in the game in my eyes. honestly I don't have a problem with the length of games because I love watching baseball. everytime there's an extra inning game I love it. I just have a bad feeling this guy is gonna add some really silly rules in the future, like the runner at 2nd in extra innings.

Still strongly against that runner at 2nd base in extra innings idea by the way though, limiting mound visits, the intentional walk thing and maybe even a pitch clock aren't awful ideas though imo...I'm a little iffy about the pitch clock but like I said, I can understand why they have to do something.

It's cool to see when someone gets a hit on an intentional walk, but honestly, how often does that happen? Gary Sanchez almost hit one out of the park last year which was cool to see but for the most part that rarely happens.

I agree with the runner at 2nd in extra innings after thinking about it more. I don't see that happening though. One thing I'd love to see changed is dropped ball strike 3 rule. If you strike out you strike out and shouldn't get a chance to take 1st

pitch clock is fine as long as it's reasonable. They shouldn't have to rush after each pitch to get set, but they shouldn't be able to take their time causing the batter to call time and step out. That gets annoying

 

Feb 23, 2017

Garciaparra's routine after every.....single....pitch was the most annoying thing ever.

Pirates looking like a trap house team this year

lol I have the pirates vs Yankees first game marked on my calendar. You may think I'm kidding but I'm not. Well see, buddy.

Pirates are one shutdown pitcher away from making the World Series.

gonna need some better hitters

"I asked (Jeter) who did he like if he was watching right now and he said he just likes guys that play the game hard," Sheffield said Wednesday before the Yankees rain-shortened spring training workout. "He mentioned watching Mookie Betts. He loves watching Mookie Betts play. Then he said, 'Anyone who goes and plays the game hard.'"
