Yea I had totally forgotten about that one and I concur. It's all been sped up enough with the pitch clock as to not be necessary and it's absolutely against the spirit of baseball.

I am usually a traditionalist on matters of sport but have found myself agreeing that the rule changes are good. Attention spans are what they are and I feel a lot better taking my kids to games, confident that we will actually make it through the whole thing, which is convenient for me since otherwise I'd make it to fewer than half as many games a year.
Anyway I am also excited for the season. I'll also be hoping my O's can finally turn the corner in the playoffs, but we have many months before it's time to start getting worked up about that subject.

Anything resulting in fewer HRs is counter productive. I feel like this was settled in the 20s.
