Hot dog and beer vendors, probably.

Fair point.

It's an abomination and sacrilege to the game itself. I hate it.

Going from 3 strikes to 2 strikes for a strikeout would be that.

Cutting down on the amount of circles a pitcher walks around the mound or the amount of times a hitter steps out to do his voodoo is not.

I would rather watch the batter adjust his gloves than watch a Cialis commercial.

You aren't watching more than the past. They just come quicker. A whole 2 or 3 minute faster.

I would be okay with limiting the times a batter can call time in an AB, but fuck the pitch clock.

I will get you to see reason eventually. You are already halfway there.

@Genghis Khan is a lost cause. Can only do so much with a guy that prefers McDonalds.

Limiting timeouts a batter can call is as far as I will go.

So far

Lack of balls in play is still a big problem because of all the strikeouts (Yanks struck out 16 times on Opening Day).

Well, shit, let's just tell pitchers they can't throw over 80MPH. That should fix it. I mean, since we are making ridiculous rule changes.

Sir, it's Saturday morning and I've yet to make coffee. Please withhold your snark.

It's an ability I can't just turn on and off.

MLB will not be held accountable just because the Yankees suck.

Who complains that games end too quickly? You should be happy to have that bit of extra time back.

Unlike apparently some of you, I actually enjoy watching baseball so I'm not in any hurry for the game to end.

Now they feel like they're on the playground trying to get a game in before their moms call them for dinner. It's absurd.

There isn't even enough time to show replays between pitches. It's ridiculous.

I'm telling you, dude, you and I may be the only traditionalists left.

blow each other already

If hating a dumb rule change makes me gay, then call me a Packers fan.

Nope, and mainly because I refuse to change my username to bbgun.

"traditionalists" should welcome games being played in a timely manner, like it was in the 50s and 60s
