Explaining baseball’s next experiment to limit shifts: The ‘pie-slice rule’
A new rule designed to further curtail infield shifts is coming to the minors as MLB looks to make changes in the majors as soon as 2023.theathletic.com
The league can't make up its mind on whether they want to modernize the game to boost viewership, or keep traditional standards to appeal to baseball purists.
With the changes they've made the last 2 seasons, I think the league is gravitating away from the old farts that have watched baseball over the years...

I hear you, but this move seems to be for the old farts who aren't big fans of the shift.With the changes they've made the last 2 seasons, I think the league is gravitating away from the old farts that have watched baseball over the years...
Not 100% certain, but I'm assuming this is a way for them to try out new ideas to see if it actually improves the game... My thinking is if it works on the lower level, then implementation in the majors would be much smoother...
Yeah I can definitely see that...I hear you, but this move seems to be for the old farts who aren't big fans of the shift.
This is absolutely fuckin ridiculous![]()
Royals without 10 unvaccinated players at Toronto
Ten Royals players, including four of their top hitters and two of their best starting pitchers this season, will not travel to Toronto for this week's four-game series because they have not received the COVID-19 vaccination.www.espn.com
Bruh.......... To Ohtani's credit, mf was throwing some nasty pitches... That damn K from Yuli was frustrating to watch... Not what you expect from him...One fuckin run
niggas jus ain’t wanna hit smh
I’m heated
Here's the thing though........a lot of these changes have not overall improved anything. Games are still long as fuck. Even longer!! Stop fuckin with the baseball. Stop with the humidor shit. It's one reason so many batters are getting hit. A lot of the pitchers say the feel of every baseball is different. The 3 pitcher at bat before taking out a pitcher is stupid. It hasn't had an effect on overall length of game at all. Just leave the game alone. Either you like baseball or you don't. There's no middle ground like other sports. You mess with it so much you make the game unrecognizable to people who actually watch and love it.With the changes they've made the last 2 seasons, I think the league is gravitating away from the old farts that have watched baseball over the years...

Yup I remember reading an interview with McCutchen talking about how the balls are different and that same article was focused on why scoring is down they mostly attributed it to the baseballs and the fact the all 30 MLB stadiums use humidors to store the balls...Here's the thing though........a lot of these changes have not overall improved anything.

Bro I was trying to explain to my girl how incredible it is what Ohtani is doing... My analogy - comparable to Bo and Deion playing multiple sports, yet Ohtani only plays baseball... Was trying to draw an image of just how different pitching is from the rest of baseball...Dude is literally a human video game.I don't give a fuck if Judge his 80 hrs how does this guy not win back to back MVP's. It's like a player in the NFL playing quarterback and cornerback. Shits absolutely insane what this man can do!!!!!!!
