As a long-term fan of baseball, I'm fine with them eliminating the four pitches. Just because something happens less than 1% percent of the time, doesn't mean you have to keep the same silly rule in place. Baseball fans hate change, so does the baseball industry, it's the reason why their sport is dying on the vine. The average age of MLB fans is much higher than any other major sport. Change is inevitable and is often necessary to stay relevant to future generations.
As to the Red Sox, I wish nothing, but bad luck to them.
I suspect that reducing the pitch count is seen as a positive by the powers that be.
The kids that are really good are playing baseball year-round in all of these tournaments and such. No time to rest the arm and work other body parts playing sports that are not baseball.Yep. Pitch counts are a very serious issue in youth baseball.
I love the DH and they need to get rid of the pitcher hitting in the NL. Too much monies invested in those pitching arms to risk any type of injury swinging a bat.
Maybe it's stupid to you, but I have a feeling it's going to be adopted across MLB just like it has in the other leagues playing baseball.Make the pitchers bat. The DH is a stupid rule and should be eliminated.
As for the intentional walk, it's fine the way it is.
No, it's more to to with a really good 20 year run has come to an end and now the Yankee organization needs a reset to reload. Unlike, some other teams, they're choosing not to tank and rebuild, but try to do so on the fly which leaves them with not a last place team, but a pretty mediocre one.Even the yankees. Must be a ny thing.
After being swept by the braves I am floored that the mets have beat the Cubs 2 straight!
