We're in Arizona and went to the Cub game yesterday. It lasted 1:57. That's too fast. -- nm - zunkskunk Mar 27, 07:43 1
- First time ever someone wanted more Cubs baseball* - Will Hunting Mar 27, 07:51
The shift ban is fine and will lead to more hits and more offense. Some of the other rule changes seem like they might need to be rethought in the - Krusty Mar 27, 07:36 16

- You need the 2 pickoff rule because without it the pitch clock is totally ineffective. The P would just be playing catch with 1B until they're ready. -- nm - Ender Mar 27, 08:11
- They asked Rickey about it. "Rickey Henderson on MLB’s new rules: ‘You gotta let these kids run’" - crash davis Mar 27, 07:45 3
  - I would love to see an everyday player with crazy speed stealing bases again. It's such a fun part of the game. And if they're fast enough to go - Krusty Mar 27, 07:57 2
    - Billy Hamilton might have been it but he was a terrible hitter. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 27, 08:00 1
      - Yeah, it needs to be another good all around player. No one can be Ricky but someone built similar to him would be electric to watch play. -- nm* - Krusty Mar 27, 08:05
- My thought process on all the rules is that we are just comparing to a standard that is also made up. So yes, the stats will change but.... - Volnelk Mar 27, 07:43 5
  - I'm trying to be open to the changes. I like the ban on the shift for the reason you mentioned, it will bring more hits, more action on the field and - Krusty Mar 27, 07:52 4
    - I like the three big changes this year. The runner on 2nd in extra innings, not so much. -- nm - crash davis Mar 27, 08:02 3
      - That's one that angers me to no end. It's bush league shit. -- nm - Krusty Mar 27, 08:06 2
        
        I can see it maybe starting in the 12th … but just in the 10th is stupid on top of stupid. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 27, 08:09 1
        
        I would be fine with it around the 12th considering most extra innings games end before then. -- nm - Krusty Mar 27, 08:28
- No one is stealing anyhow so it’s just dead time. How many pickoffs are real attempts? - Will Hunting Mar 27, 07:40 3

  - Haha! I expect steals to rise this season though they've been at historic lows with the rise of analytics. -- nm - Krusty Mar 27, 07:45 1
    - If you’re going to have3 hour games, shit has to happen. - Will Hunting Mar 27, 07:50
