play the game as normal then they shouldn't be playing at all.

Manfred ruins baseball year after year and new rule change after new rule change.
He got it right with the universal DH as that makes the rules the same across the leagues but this is too much and bad for the game.
It's bush league shit

I don't understand it actually. What is the point? Shortening the game? The players will have been together for 3 plus hours at that point - JackDawson Jun 25, 06:29 11
- It’s also to minimize the wear and tear on pitchers. - Will Hunting Jun 25, 06:34 5
  - Yeah, the lack of minor leaguers ready to play is another issue. But they can expand the rosters to say 30. -- nm - Krusty without grass Jun 25, 06:35 4
    - It starts at 30 and declines to 26 by year end iirc. - Will Hunting Jun 25, 06:38 3
      - Why do they want it to decline? I feel like they should leave at 30 for the whole "season" -- (edited) - Krusty without grass Jun 25, 06:40 2
        
        Because major leaguers get 550k a year...and minor leaguers don’t. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 25, 06:43 1
        
        Cheap fucking pricks -- nm - Krusty without grass Jun 25, 06:48
- Yes, they're reasoning is to shorten the game and it's not a virus safety thing. They thinking is that they'll have to play a lot of games in - Krusty without grass Jun 25, 06:34 4
  - After decades of watching Orioles fail to score with men on 2nd and 3rd, no outs...let’s not get crazy here. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 25, 06:35 3
    - You were watching the Orioles though... - Krusty without grass Jun 25, 06:37
    - I was just going to say...sounds like he's never watched a Yankees game before -- nm - JackDawson Jun 25, 06:36 1
      - All jokes aside, it's an easy run to score. It may not happen 80% of the time but I think it scores 40% which is still high. - Krusty without grass Jun 25, 06:39
