allow fights like hockey and more people will watch

Data has actually shown that over the last decade the strikezone has actualy been lowered by about 2 inches because of the insane break on high velocity pitches that are more frequent now than they used to be in previous generations. I'm glad they recognize this is a problem and are trying to move back to a more normalized zone. The intentional walk thing is whatever. Nothing to be upset about really.

couldnt have said it any better

stop fukin with the game dammit. first replays now this. what will baseball be 10 years from now.

The game has been going downhill since '47 and everyone knows it.

knowing you two disagree, i feel much better about my view now.

wouldn't decreasing the strikezone increase the time games runs? lol

It's contradictory to want the game to be faster AND to want more offense lol

I'm fine with whatever strikezone they come up with, but they need to make umpires actually abide by it for a sense of consistency.

It is such a judgement call I feel like that is difficult to achieve. If they want games to speed up the umpires just need to tell batters they are expanding the strike zone and they had better be swinging.
