hopefully less of the annoying "three true outcome" games where we only see K's, HRs and walks.

Some of the rules are fine and likely necessary as teams have pushed the limits of the game.
I am a bit of a purist and believe the history of the game and its numbers mean a lot. Though, since steroids the numbers haven't been as meaningful and now with all the changes over the years it's not the same game we grew up watching. It's still baseball and I still love it but you can't really compare today's players and their numbers to decades ago. I know I don't like that but it's probably what's best for the game as it's been losing fans for many years.

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
