Pace Of Play And Increasing Offense

The dh helps. Let's see what he can do

The DH sucks. That's why the NL has avoided it.

And the toss over before that

Reducing pitching changes isn't going to happen either

Using the shift at its current pace speeds up the game. Knowing that makes your second comment a very poor argument.

Wow, with each post, brett continues to prove how ignorant he truly is.

Would have been better off without the trolls.

Brett isn't trolling. Give him a break. His brain is still fried from going shoe shopping for 3 hours with his woman.

"Drastically"? What great hyperbole. My proposal does not slow the game down. My proposal speeds the game up while increasing strategy. If there was "great intrigue in a low scoring game" that didn't involve marquee pitching matchups, the new commish wouldn't be looking to increase scoring.

Define drastically

He wants the casual fan. I understand

 

[brett05]

No. The other factors added in speed the game up.

Not enough to offset the scoring

 

[brett05]

Here's where you get personal and attack, because you are in above your head. It's why you've ignored all the details provided. You don't understand them strategically.

You say that but as someone who is a baseball guy for his job you do a lot for folks not to respect you

I apologize for the bi polar. What would you like me to use when you act/comment one way then turn 180 and act another?

Uhh huh...get ready..it's coming sooner than you think

I don't recall ever commenting about the shift

Yes. I need internet respect. LOL. I couldn't live with myself otherwise.

So, IOW, you don't know certain things about the game, but you wish to remain in endless bliss. Got it. Consider this conversation to be done.

 

[brett05]

I wish you the best Parade

Glad you're finally seeing this.

Sources: MLB could alter strike zone as response to declining offense

Major League Baseball is considering altering the textbook definition of the strike zone for the first time in nearly two decades, fearful that the proliferation of the low strike has sapped too much offense from the game, league sources told Yahoo Sports.

Would this need MLBPA approval?

Basically their going back to what the original strike zone was
( knee to pit )

Problem is , most umpires have their own zone and dont call it like they should..

Also, i think more the problem is that most umpires call pitches strikes off the plate. ..

And alsmot ever ump ignores the high strike completely.

That's not entirely true, which is part of the reason why the strike zone has been getting called lower than they originally wanted it to be. Umpires are more accurate than ever before.

Ya think? (Honest question, not belittling)

I dunno if the integration has made all the difference it was hoping to make outside of easier travel.
