How mad are we about the 3-batter minimum?

I think it’s pretty stupid. Baseball trying to fix baseball is really annoying. There are going to be a lot of fake injuries from pitchers I bet. Make the strike zone larger to get them to swing more if you want less Ks. Less commercials in between innings. Enforce the stepping out of the box rules. I’d be for a pitch clock...if the pitcher steps off, automatic ball, if the batter steps out...automatic strike. Get in and bat/pitch.

Shouldn't we be happy? Quicker games. Also its 3 batter's or until end of inning so plenty of lefty specialists will still be coming on with 2 outs

I just don’t like them making new rules just to do it. I don’t think it’s going to speed the games up by any significant measure either. They need to figure out how to put the ball in play. The only reason games seem so long is because it’s HR or K.

Leaving a bad pitcher on the mound extends an inning though, and then you have to make the pitching change eventually anyway.

I just think pitchers/hitters need to get on with it... They're taking too long setting up and/or getting in the box.

Go ahead and shave 2 seconds off every pitch so everyone can have their extra 10 minutes back or whatever

Also, fuck this rule. How about 2 warm up pitches in the mound. Get out there and go. Much more would be accomplished with a "hurry up" rule instead of altering the game imo

That would NEVER happen. Pitchers would cry that it is an injury risk. Which I dont necessarily disagree with. Anytime you are putting a players safety in jeopardy they're not gonna change the rule.

Less commercial breaks. I remember watching cardinals games back in the day for almost 4 hours. Used 7 relievers.

Also sad that the term LOOGY is no longer applicable
