They are ban the shift in 2023.



Gonna make defensive rules now like the NBA.

They really banning the shift because lefties insist on pulling into the defense and righties can’t slap low breakers up the middle anymore?

Get better at hitting

How about working on improving contact and discipline rather than power and launch angle?

They want more balls in play to add "excitement" to the game for the casual fan.

Same reason they're adding a pitch clock, bigger bases, etc. They want more offense.

Those balls are "in play"
The hitters just fucking suck

And FUCK the casual fans....they don't matter

What a joke

:baby:

Ryan Howard punching a wall somewhere right now hearing that the shift is banned.



The reality is that MLB is fading at the rate it's going, as the fans get older the younger generation doesn't watch it as much. They're doing what they have to do to keep people watching and bring casual fans in to make more money....
