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
Ditto on the shifts and I also agree with the pitch clock.
I don't know where this push to "streamline" and speed up games is really coming from, Yeah, yeah, yeah, I've read some reports that younger fans aren't catching onto the game because it takes so long. So what? I got news for you. Baseball bored the HECK out of me as a kid because I really didn't understand it yet. Most kids don't. The understanding of how and why the game is played comes as you get older.
Baseball owners didn't take action in the 1970's to speed up the game for young farts like me. They just said, "deal with it." I'm glad I was forced to learn about the game and the absolute beauty of it.
