    What's the point of bigger bases?

    They would have made Bonds' head look smaller

    Ok I looked it up. It's to generate more stolen bases, get few over-slide tag-outs and reduce injuries.

    Baseball really is a shame. My favorite sport hands down. Get this:  guess who already forgot who won the 2021 NL MVP?

    Edit:. And we're signing EVERYONE.

    This year I believe the following happens:
    -12 teams in playoffs
    -Universal DH (ARRGH)
    -Back to 9 inning games for DH's
    -Back to regular extra innings (no zombie runner)

    The other stuff - shift rules, bigger bases, pitch clock - I think comes in 2023

    Im on board for those changes.
    They also increase the minimum spend for teams w/o penalty, next year....which as a fan of the fucking Reds I am very much in favor of.

    There is nothing funnier on TV than Republican primary campaign commercials. Just comedy gold.

    Also sounds like defensive shifts are going to be banned? That's terrible.

    That Mccormick guy is airing those '"lets go brandon" ads again. Saw it during JIM GARDNERS newscast, of all places, last night. Fuck him.


    The shift sucks. I am happy it's banned. Wish it started this year though.

    I dont think they should ban the shift, at the same time as i think the shift sucks.

    As much as I think banning the shift sucks in theory it completely fucks with the purity (yes you heard me goddammit the purity) of the game. Don't wanna hit into the shift ? Go the other way. Adapt, evolve. One of the things that's so awesome about baseball to me is that anybody can play it.

    And I don't care what anyone says about Joe Maddon. Gimme 2 man outfields and 5 men infields. Gimme something different, shake it up.

    It’s a different game than it was, especially with everyone throwing 100. Ban it

    Yeah, I don't  know about this purity stuff when they just started these crazy shifts 10+ years ago.

    Stupid! Delay your swing, go the other way. If you want to be a caveman play football damnit.

    ALSO, while we're at it, shorten Center and extend the distance to the foul poles. I want more triples.

    The next team that does a replica old timey stadium I want them to bring back the likes of something like Forbes or Polo Grounds. Just massive fields.

    And I want pickoff throws to be so gratuitously obvious that they're nearly balks everytime. Basically almost nothing is a balk. Like unless their knee is touching their throwing elbow nothing should be a balk. But you only get 3 throws over to a base during an AB. More steals, more triples, thanks.

    Yeah same here. Such a bummer. 

    I couldn't get an answer in the big thread on the Porch, but are there going to be tickets on sale for these shows? So if you have tickets to a postponed show, you'll have tickets to the reschedule show. But will there be additional tickets to buy due to people that took refunds? Or for matter, will there be additional shows? I have no idea what's going on. I mentally checked-out after Baltimore was cancelled, but now I'm getting the itch as everyone awaits an announcement.

    Agree with JP on the shift.  Hate it but dont think it should be banned.  Seems smart to position oeople that way.
    Hit it where they aint!

    Looks like some shows like LA are still happening before they depart for Europe and are honoring those purchases. Separately there should be more dates in the fall (PHILLY).
