Remember that epic 9th inning comeback the Royals had over the White Sox last year? Remember how the Sox pitchers couldn't throw an intentional walk for shit and it cost them the game? That'll never happen again.

Bravo, Manfred.

I'm trying to think of a way this won't look really lame on a TV broadcast. Batter walks up to the plate and then just strolls to first? Do the networks even bother showing the player's name/stats? Feels sort of jarring.

>“He has it all,” said a talent evaluator who has seen plenty of Rosario. A second talent evaluator agreed that Rosario is the total package. “He is just so athletic,” the evaluator said. “He’s an outstanding shortstop, and you know it when you see it. He’s got a little bit of [Carlos] Correa in him, a little bit of [Francisco] Lindor, a little bit of [Addison] Russell.”
>The first evaluator said the Mets haven’t had a prospect with as many tools as Rosario since outfielder Carlos Gomez a decade ago. And the last infielder with as much talent to be developed by the Mets was either Reyes or David Wright, depending on your preference, according to the evaluator.

>Can Russell Martin will them to victory? Proud Canadian Martin — the starting catcher for the Blue Jays — will be involved with the team this time around. Martin was set to fill in as Team Canada’s shortstop in 2013, but backed out of the event after the team failed to meet his wishes. Rather than completely sitting things out this year, he’ll join the team to add “insight and support.” So he’ll be their Yoda, basically? Team Canada could certainly benefit from using The Force, so here’s hoping Martin can coach these guys up as quickly as Yoda did Luke Skywalker.

Pitcher should absolutely not be covering on that play. 2B was in position to field the ball and would not have had to stop, turn, plant and make a throw leading the pitcher to the bag. Miggy covers, it's a routine groundout and the play finishes over a second quicker. No close call at 1st to blow if only Miggy had played the position he was supposed to

It was a glorious clusterfuck of a game. From the Mariners shelling some no name pitcher that was contractually obligated to pitch at once, to Maddon going through his bench and bullpen like it was toilet paper. Even as a Cubs fan I wanted to see what Maddon would do if he was forced to use his other starting pitchers and if he'd make them play as position players. And then have Arrieta come in being pissed as hell and ending the game personally with a walk off homer

A cheeky bunt by Lester is fine too.

I just love how this announcer wanted to be anti Joe Buck and put all his heart into this call.

The ageless Ichiro is expected only to miss a few days, but did require — incredibly — the very first training-room treatment of his 16-year MLB career. Teammates used the opportunity not only to mark that occasion, but also to have some fun at Barnes’ expense. A note, signed by Ichiro, was left at his emptied locker informing him that he had been cut loose and wishing him good luck in Korea.

yo, does anything stop a team from just pitching 4 really wide balls to walk a guy instead of using fred's cuck signal? it would be fucking hilarious if teams did it all season and never used the pitchless ibb bullshit

the way I see it nothing stops a team from intentionally pitching away 4 straight balls and not signaling it as an ibb. stick it to the faggot even more by having it count as an ibb in stats. I mean the signal is advantageous to the team issuing the walk so I kinda doubt they'd boycott this bullshit merely on principle and risk turning a straight walk into something worse, but it would be absolute pottery. drag it out even more than the whole forty fucking seconds it takes to do and watch millennial attendance numbers plummet

Theres more.

The actual act of catching a baseball in the outfield has lead to too many injuries when the players collide into each other. A new rule is now set in place where instead of running to catch the ball, each outfielder will have an invisible circular some of 15 feet radius around them. If the ball drops within that radius it will be considered an out. The radius leaves enough space to ensure players will never hit each other while tracking down flyballs.
>>
>>74339575
Are you an insider?

What else is Manfred preparing for 2018?
>>
>>74339584
After hitting a home run, the batter and every baserunner will just head back to the dugout. Of course this will be after they confirmed its a home run at which point before then, they will run or hold as normal. This will reduce game time by an average of 52 seconds.
>>
>>74339442
Source?
>>
>>74339584
Pitcher are taking too long in between pitches, so Manfred is currently in talks with the Players' Union on removing the need for pitchers, and having hitters hit from a tee instead. Both parties think this rule will be implemented by 2019, but they still haven't reached a verdict on a pitching change limit.

Home run confirmation will of course have to come from the International Space Station, a delay which could last up to 10 minutes during which play of game will be suspended. However, this also eliminates the need for the umpire to signal for a home run, saving nearly 5 seconds per game on average. MLB looks forward to announcing a number of other time-saving measures to improve the game shortly

i'm all for a situation where all teams play all other teams during a season. less games. more time for players to rest up and stay healthy, etc. i mean, look at football (handegg), 16 game seasons where everyone is in max condition each time. I don't understand why they don't adopt what we're talkin about. only reason i could think of it, $75 crappy seat ticket sales. $10 beer sales. $8 hot dog sales. that's really what it comes down to, i guess. and it's terrible.

even that's redundant though because the underlying point is that there's no need to speed up the game, especially by such extremely marginal amounts

batters have been getting their rhythm in the same ways for over a century, why fuck with that now? where does the pressing need come from to put incredibly skilled and poised pitchers on a fucking clock? it only matters to a handful of people that are invested in the sport in a completely different way from the fans

i think the point is that ibbs aren't written into the game, they're a tactical move that has merely become routine and thus there's no justification as to why a pitcher wouldn't have to throw at least 4 pitches (all of which, though rare, can have unintended and hilarious consequences) in a given plate appearance, whether he's intending them to be bogus and walk the dude or not

It's a fucking non-issue, an insignificant change. The real question is why this triggers the autism of so many of you fuckers (and everywhere else on the internet)?

>>74341986
Holy shit you're right maybe they'll put in stupid changes like the DH, or interleague, or playoffs, or divisions, or raising or lowering the mound, or having the NL and AL play a World Series.

I don't really like the thought of how many prospects the Indians will need to give up to get Trout

If it's such a nonissue, why spend the time and energy to change it?

You aren't funny. This is a person's life not a game.

> why save time not doing a stupid fucking thing that doesn't matter?

the same reason you don't slather dogshit all over your car in the morning before you drive to work

why even play the game
it doesnt matter

>compares making a stupid change to the game for no reason to save 10 seconds over 3 hours to playing with literal shit
Who is autistic now?

>>74342353
It makes no difference in the game to change the rule and you save 10 seconds of literal nothing happening on the field.

It does make a difference to the game though. Players take bases every season on bad intentional walk pitches, sometimes even scoring runs. There's been at least one hit off an intentional walk. Baserunners lose opportunities for stealing bases. Why mess with something that's not broken? Get out a calculator, figure out how much of 3 hours 10 seconds is. It's pretty fucking insignificant
