When will they be adding a 5th base? 4 are just too boring.tempo_n_groove said:

Dueling proposals from MLB on Jan. 14 and the union on Friday covered a wide range of topics, according to sources. Among them include:
A three-batter minimum for pitchers
A universal designated hitter
A single trade deadline before the All-Star break
A 20-second pitch clock
The expansion of rosters to 26 men, with a 12-pitcher maximum
Draft advantages for winning teams and penalties for losing teams
A study to lower the mound
A rule that would allow two-sport amateurs to sign major league contracts
Alright, alright, alright!

If the mound is raised, there will be a no hitter every night and offense is going to go way down, more than it already is. The ball needs to be put in play more0

Hmmm. There wasn't a no hitter every other day when the mound was higher so what will change now?Cliffy6745 said:If the mound is raised, there will be a no hitter every night and offense is going to go way down, more than it already is. The ball needs to be put in play more
If anything the ball would be in play more rather than over the fence. Small ball is exciting when there are hits and stolen bases and squeeze plays.
Raise the mound and the batter will be more focused on contact rather than a damn "trajectory".
Just my thoughts.
Your counter?0 -
Cool, I get your comment now, lol. Maybe have a random 2nd ball thrown at the batter for extra points?!?JK_Livin said:

I don't think players will make any contact if the mound is higher0 -

The game has not evolved in a way that the pitchers dominate like they did in the late 60's.
There were only 19 pitchers w more than 10 wins in the AL w an ERA under 6.
Yes a 6 era, lol. Ony 5 pitchers w innings to qualify had an era lower than 3 and only 1 lower than a 2. The NL was slightly better w 6 pitchers and an era under 3.
I'm fine w the mound where it is but certainly don't want it lowered anymore. I wonder if it would be by far more beneficial to the batter in the sense of a HR derby contest where the pitcher is on flat ground with hardly any delivery angle?
If the game becomes all homeruns I won't find that entertaining at all. I watch that style of play once a year during the AS break.0
