Changes to Game

Pitch clock. Batters not stepping out between pitches. Smaller strike zone. No infield shifts. Extended replay. New commissioner Rob Manfred is evaluation all aspects of the game of baseball to keep it relevent to the young kids who need action now to keep them interested. Pace of play items, such as a pitch clock, make a lot of sense. Arguments pro & con can be made about not allowing shifts - like why don't hitters take what is given to them. Pulling up the strike zone from the bottom of the knee to the top of the knee would certainly put more balls in play. MLB Network was just saying that singles & walks - as an aggregate - are at an all-time low. Everyone is swinging for the fences. Strikeouts are way up, again because of too many hitters looking to overpower a ball with 2 strikes. I'm good with any pace of play changes. No reason why a game should last longer than 3 hours for 9 innings. It will be interesting to see what MLB can get through the players association. Revenues are up all over baseball, so pace of play may annoy the occasion fan, but not the real fans. Some tinkering is fine with me. How about you?
