I Don't Have A Good Feeling About These MLB Rules Changes

[KingWard]

To me, the game is sacrosanct and timeless. I don't like to see it tampered with, as it already has been with the runner-on-second extra-inning rule. But here we go again and now fundamental strategy is being taken away. I knew the DH was only the first step in ruining the game. https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id...ncluding-pitch-clock-banning-defensive-shifts

Just couldn't leave the "perfect game" alone. What have we gained with these changes? Nothing!

I hate the shift. I am happy

Why were any changes from the original game necessary? You put your 9 on the field and I'll put my 9 on the field and may the best team win. No batting for the pitcher (DH), no tampering with extra inning play, put your players on the field anywhere you want. Just play ball.

Let a man learn how to go the opposite way. Ted Williams had to face it. These people aren't any better than he was.

The extra inning rule is absurd. Makes no sense, since rosters are full strength now.

And lowering the mound.
