  - I'm willing to suffer the abomination if it leads to better calls on balls and strikes. - the wrong element, bad guy Apr 6, 22:21 3
    - 7 innings isn't a pro baseball game. I'm not okay with changing things this much just so they play what looks like baseball. I'd rather wait. -- nm - Krusty Apr 7, 05:18
    - The calls on balls and strikes are fine as is. -- nm - . Apr 7, 00:00 1
      - No, they're not. Umps do a fantastic job but too often they fail at calling balls and strikes right. - Krusty Apr 7, 05:19
