MLB 2023

So glad they killed the shift.  Finally!  About time.

I also like the pitch clock.  

The only thing I still do not embrace is extra innings rule (2nd base) 

aka Manfred Man and Ghost Runner.  So stupid.  The only reasons it is great  <insert whatever underlining BS you want to say - I don't care and don't agree with it >

 
I’m against this too.  As maddening as it is, the  gamesmanship of dealing with the umpire is part of the game. You take that away and it just becomes sterile.

I can't decide what to think about that. There are a lot of things that used to be "part of the game" but then people lose their minds when a ref/ump gets something wrong that can't be corrected.  As evidenced right here on this here board.

When there is a part of the game that is (supposed to be) very well definied, I don't think it's the worst thing to have that administered consistantly.

This is an interesting change.  I'm not against speeding things up but I wasn't expecting it to be this fast.

I know people think the strike zone should be a perfectly defined matrix. But, it isn’t.

It's beautiful.  I love it.  (Pitch count)
