I hated but loved the insane shift for bonds

I'm shocked by that, I thought the league was going that way. Especially our team.

Shifting kills offense. They were definitely banning it.

Im glad. I always thought shifting was kind of lame. Brandon Belt is dancing right now.

yeah, I'm good with it. I didn't like watching shifts anyways. And I didn't want to watch a bunch of dudes pushing bunts down the 3rd baseline either. And I always thought it was stupid when dude pisses on one and its caught in shallow rf or they field it like a grounder and throw them out from shallow RF.

But I think the pitch clock is stupid. And bigger bases so teams steal more. lmao

It's going to be interesting to watch how they enforce it.

I was curious to see how Panik did in his time with the Marlins, in 53 games for the Marlins, he hit .172 with 1 home run and 7 RBI's. How the mighty fall. #Zwasright

Put lines all over the field indicating zones where players must occupy. Shot clock / pitch clock. Yellow flag for any violations. Basically take everything unique and cool about baseball and put it in the garbage disposal and turn it on.

It's just dumb though. It's a defensive strategy. It's like the NFL banning having the safeties playing too close to the line of scrimmage or being too far back.

Not trying to be one of those "taking away from the game" guys. But I just don't like it. I'm for robot strike zones and stuff. Yuhh. But hey you can't move over this way when the guy hits it there 90% of the time.

Like Bauer said. What's next, banning breaking balls?

id be heated if I was a pitcher. This is going to affect my stats = my money

They just look at where you're standing and say "You cant stand there, move over".

There will be a couple lines, and the coaches who call the alignments will just call it within those lines. I doubt we ever see someone get in trouble for lining up too far.
