        All that sounds so much nicer than any of the stuff MLB added like the ghost runners.

        moving the mound back seems like a recipe for a whole bunch of injured arms and a horrible idea. bigger base sizes will improve player safety and improve offense on the margins as the distance needed to be covered will be shortened enough to matter.

        Robot umps is a terrible idea, IMO. Why remove any of the human element of baseball?

        Is there any talk of lowering the mound? If no, why not? That would help hitters without (physically) hurting pitchers, wouldn't it? What am I missing?

        Dan?!?! Really?!? These are all garbage ideas! No mound visits is almost as bad as a 3 batter min.

        Why not just limit the number of pitchers on the roster and don't mess with the rules?

        Through the 7th inning. I don't want to miss out on a Kimbrel-Judge encounter in the 8th inning of a close game because of that rule

        The three batter minimum, especially with the end of an inning exception, will impact a small percentage of plays.https://twitter.com/williamnyy23/status/1100817506976047104?s=19 …

        Breakdown on why a three-batter requirement would likely only be cosmetic (these numbers were compiled before the announcement that the rule would not extend beyond the end of an inning). https://twitter.com/williamnyy23/status/1093205319470235648 …

        Why don't they drop the completed strikeout rule? It's never made any sense to me and slows things up. Swing and a miss is a strike, who cares if it's caught
