The goal is to shorten games?

No shift = more offense = games take longer.

Change my mind.

pick-off attempts are a part of "disengagements" and a pitcher only gets two per plate appearance.


stolen base attempt are going to go through the roof.

Maybe infield players will learn how to range better

I’d written off the Brewers, because I’d totally forgotten that there are now three wildcard teams.

The goal is to shorten games by removing dead time between plays. More offense = more action = more fun.

if they want to meaningfully shorten games, they need to employ a split-screen between live action and commercials. the amount of commercials where the games are stopped, combined with the increase in breaks, has had more of an effect on the length of games since all games started to be televised than anything.

This is not the college football thread. This is the MLB thread.

Yeah, that wouldn't change anything in baseball. Breaks between innings would still be the same.

it’s necessarily just between innings (which you could shorten). more importantly, you could shorten the breaks for pitching changes (after the pitcher has already thrown 25 pitches in the pen, he doesn’t need another 10-15 pitches).

There's a possibility that the Pirates:

-Give up Aaron Judge's record tying/breaking home runs

-Give up Albert Pujols' 700th home run

Among the pile of ridiculous Judge stats, his lead over the next most dingers (about 20) is the craziest to me. Wow.

He’s probably on some new untraceable PED that MLB is unaware of.
