I have no problem with the shifts.  It don't see how the same people who don't like the DH because it takers "strategy" out of the game turn around and complain about shifts.  Batters just need to hit the other way.  It is not rocket science.  What would you guys do if they outlawed blitzing in football or zone pass defense?

Got to do something to speed up the game.  Again, a pitch clock is a very simple answer.  I don't know why all the players are so opposed.  I think everyone is better off.  WAYYYYYY too much standing around and doing nothing for a professional sport.  People say walks and strikeouts are boring, but they are not as bad as guys just standing there doing nothing.

Every relief pitcher has to either face at least 2 batters or get the final out of an inning.  Again, too much time wasted making multiple pitching changes.

Finally cut a week off the beginning and the end of the season and go to a 150 game schedule.

I agree with this but have issue with most of the rest.

I'm old school and I know it but I don't have that much issue with speeding up the game. I could care less if a bunch of millennials want a two hour game because they can't set their cell phone down any longer.

Baseball is baseball because it's baseball. Fast and speedy games aren't what it's about, relax a bit and set the phone down, what's the rush ?
