larger bases and being able to time the pitch (also a limit of how many times a pitcher can throw over to first base) encourage more stolen bases and base running in general, more exciting and athletic play.
Banning infield shifts open up the natural gaps that has increased base hits.

couple other things...I was already a baseball fan but this makes shorter games with less time watching guys stand around. With less time to let the arm recover between pitches there will be less guys able to whip it in at 100mph repeatedly, just another change adding to more offense.

Across the board I agree, with the exception of stopping the shift. Outlawing the shift admits some hitters are one trick (or one hit) ponies. Learn to be a more balanced hitter. Don't like the idea of penalizing the defense because the hitter can't go opposite field.

I’m ready to check out the new baseball rules. Going to an Astros game next weekend. The daughter went to a Yankees games a few weeks ago and thought it was weird.

I’d use the word to describe a Yankee game as Gross instead of Weird, but am fine with either designation.

I was not pleased but at least she didn’t buy any Yankees gear. She will be in town for the Astros game and it would be acceptable to buy gear. She’s still a SF Giants fan at heart.

Have fun, Shawnski. Catch one.

Thunderstorms and 41 degrees. Thankful it isn’t a few degrees colder. This would be a mess.

Heading up north to spend the day with (watching) Mom. Kind of like watching a kid. Always trying to do to much.

Later, fellas.

Good Thursday Morning to All! It's a clear 66° on the way to 86° today.

Earlier today I tried to start my truck to take my wife to physical therapy, but the battery was dead, well 3.45 volts. F**K! Got her there on time with her Traverse.

I'm charging the battery, nit sure if it early battery failure or something running in the truck and draining the battery. I think even the battery is still under warranty, but we'll see.
