Folks are getting BORED at games and it's easy to understand....there's not enough hitting and runs. Only the purists love pitching duels....personally I like to watch a guy smoke one into the gap and leg out a stand-up triple....that's baseball. So what are the brains in the league offices talking about? Moving back the pitcher's mound or lowering it. So, how are you going to keep the field symmetrical if you move the mound back toward 2nd base? What will happen to hundreds of pitchers' windups on a lowered mound? They're also talking about a pitcher having to face a minimum 3 batters....no more LOOGY....a southpaw you keep in the pen to get out a particularly tough left handed batter late in the game. DH in the NL....wake up, it's 2019...of course both leagues should use the DH....who wants to see a pitcher swing and miss 3 times....or BUNT...oooh, exciting.
The problem with all this is it ignores what's really messing up the Show....it's the SHIFT....it's killing the singles hitters, pull-hitters, slow guys. So what's my plan? Go ahead and shift but the infielder has to keep his feet on the infield dirt...no more camping 20 feet out on the outfield grass. Simple and effective which is why MLB ain't even talking about it.
