I thought they would have that for sure. There will be some adjustments for the shift, haven't heard any the details on that, bigger bases and a pitch clock. The only one of those the players on the committee voted for is bigger bases. I think that's dumbest of all the rule changes, don't see the point of it. I also can't tell the pitch com thing is speeding up the game at all. They still have to send the sign and the pitcher can' still shake to off and they spend a lot of time punching in the call. I see Yadi looking up at the batters to see they're trying peek at the sign and he has his mitt over the device he punches it in.

I can’t think of one change they have discussed that you are for.
I jumped on the band wagon for auto strike zone this year, the umps have been horrendous in several games I've watched this year and I hardly ever watch games not involving the Cardinals. If they're not going to have the auto strike zone they need to eliminate the strike zone box on TV. Bigger bases is just strange and I don't know why MLB should should be able to tell a manager where to place he is defenders. Do you think pitch com has actually made pitchers work faster?
 
The bandwagon for the auto strike zone should be overflowing. For example:

 
If this is the garbage we are going to keep seeing I will be completely done with baseball.

 
Baseball has been a joke for most of our lives. This was a 2-1 game. You can’t tell me the ump doesn’t dictate the results many many games.
