Imagine the NBA banning switch defense because it was too effective.

I think it’s also because it takes away an exciting element of the game and makes the games more boring. Feel like it would be more like the NBA takes away the 3 point line because teams are spamming 3s.Imagine the NBA banning switch defense because it was too effective.

Then again, the league did change the rules with hand-checking and installing three second rule.

All Leagues in all Sports do this.
You have to change things, shake things up…
It’s still Sports Entertainment (first and foremost) at the end of the day.

Perfect. This is good.
Limiting pickoffs, and a pitch clock were definitely on my list
I’ve been wanting for the longest to limit pickoffs. After the first one, each attempt should be counted as a ball

I never liked this idea and like it even less now that more details are out.

I don’t see the need for an in season tournament. The play in was enough.
The East is going to be competitive barring major injuries. The west should have a solid 8 teams competing every night. We just added stuff to add it

Yup.
When I saw the pitch clock it made my day.
No more 4 hour games.
Let’s speed this up please.

What will be the prize for the winner of the tourney? For the team and the players.

We're watching regardless. This is to drum up interest with the casuals.

Of course but I don’t know what more a casual fan needs when you got a league with at least 5 superstars and the importance of the 3 ball.

Yes
No - but I’m aware
I feel like I’m the 90s to early 00s…you really didn’t have to be a fan of baseball to know who’s who, or semi enjoy it.
Them dudes was larger than life.
It was for sure a lot going on back then. Shenanigans.

Also want them to limit mound visits and perhaps games to be cut down to 8 innings just because.

I know I'm alone with this take but a lot of games are actually boring and not close to competitive. If the tourney minimizes some of these blowouts I'm all for it

There are competitive games on every full slate. Gotta get past what’s on national TV. every game isn’t going to come to the wire. That’s not how sports work. There are entertaining blowouts. There are boring close games.

I’m with you on trying to make the regular season more meaningful but the execution seems off
Now we’re going to have to hear about “extraordinary mid season tournament performances”
Seems like a farce
